NachrichtDear WG chairs, I forward you the message received from Herbert indicating that there are some problems with the automatic distribution of reports. It seems that it is not possible to solve the problem before the Budapest meeting. I suggest that you take the form as it is in the TC6 site, fill it and mail it directly to me. Up to now I have received reports from WG 6.4, WG 6.8 and WG6.11. Please send the reports asap as I am preparing the meeting documents ans they will be copied during the weekend. Best regards Augusto -----Original Message----- From: Herbert Leitold [mailto:Herbert.Leitold@a-sit.at] Sent: segunda-feira, 5 de Maio de 2003 21:07 To: 'Guy Leduc' Cc: augusto.casaca(a)inesc.pt Subject: AW: WG report via TC6 page Dear Guy, dear Augusto, unfortunately I could not get hold of the problem with the WG report forms. I now have re-installed the server software, created a new form and tested it - it worked, but I didn't have problems with my tests before - so I'm not sure whether the problems will re-appear. (I've no idea what to do, if they problems continue - except completely replacing the server which can't be done before Budapest). Guy, I'm afraid your report didn't get through, at least tehr is no indication in our logs that it did. Augusto, plaes le me know, if I'm wrong and you received a WG 6.1 report. PS: Augusto, during my tests I created a few report sheets and forgot to replace the email address - so I think you received a few junk-reports, sorry for that. Best regards, Herbert -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Guy Leduc [mailto:Guy.Leduc@ulg.ac.be] Gesendet: Montag, 05.

Call for Papers Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Special Issue on: Generalized Ad Hoc Networks (GAHN) and Quality of Service (QoS) Data networks increasingly offer users a wide variety of networking modalities, both wired and wireless, allowing user traffic to be routed over many alternate paths, at different costs, with different levels of QoS, reliability, robustness and power consumption. We will call such systems "Generalized Ad Hoc Networks" (GAHN), and the concept includes conventional wireless ad hoc networks. By the term "user" we do not "just" mean the end user: we include a variety of economic agents, such as ISPs, who derive benefit from the data being carried, and we also include all the other lower level agents including common carriers. However, the actual paths, costs, and QoS outcomes received by these users remain generally opaque to the most of them, and appear at a "per connection" result for the end user, and at aggregate economic levels for many other actors. QoS itself should be understood broadly, including concerns about reliability and robustness, power utilization, pricing and economics and obviously also conventional QoS metrics. This special issue seeks visionary and forward looking papers based on sound technical arguments, experimental designs, measurements, or theoretical analysis, which address QoS in GAHN. Of course, technical contributions relating QoS to conventional wireless ad hoc networks are also welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to: - QoS and routing in AHN and GAHN - Power aware routing - Combining routing and priority schemes in AHN - Composite and multicriterion QoS metrics - Using concepts from eceonomics and game theory in GAHN - Mixed wired and wireless AHN design - Security in GAHN and AHN - Experimental systems and test-beds Papers not to exceed 25 pages should be submitted electronically in the form of a postscript file, before September 1 2003, to Prof. Erol Gelenbe at erol(a)cs.ucf.edu -- The time-table for this special issue will be as follows: Submission Deadline: September 1, 2003 Decision Notification: Dec. 15, 2003 Publication Date: Second Quarter of 2004 Erol Gelenbe erol(a)cs.ucf.edu Tel: 407 823 0345 Fax: 407 823 5419
