Dear TC6 members,
Action Point AP55/8 of the last TC6 meeting referred that each TC6
member would try to indicate an e-mail address of a list of members of
the respective Computer Society, so that we can send the Call for Papers
and Announcements of our Conferences.
I would like to kindly request that you investigate the possibility of
getting such an address and, in the affirmative case, send it to me.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca

CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE NEW INTERNET ARCHITECTURE
Submission deadline: 30th September 2001
Target publication deadline: May 2002.
The evolution of the Internet is at a turning point. During these latest years, it has grown exponentially based on
the IP best-effort paradigm. However, it is well accepted that, in its evolution in the 21st century, the deployment of
QoS-aware technologies is a key factor for the continued success of the Internet.
Some advances in this direction have already been provided with the introduction of the Integrated Services and
Differentiated Services models by the IETF. Also the Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technique is an
important way of traffic engineering IP networks. At the infrastructure level, the deployment of Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems is creating a huge transport capacity, which will significantly help the
running of QoS-sensitive applications on the Internet.
Despite these advances, a significant number of issues still remain to be solved at the architectural level. Among
others, they are related to admission control and resource allocation policies in the network, adequate user
signalling protocols, network management systems for large numbers of users and security. It is expected that,
having in place the adequate infrastructure and protocols, high quality real-time applications can run on the
Internet without significant interference from conventional data traffic.
This special issue looks for original research and review papers that present the most recent proposals and results
towards the definition of this new Internet architecture. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to the
following:
- MPLS and Traffic engineering in IP networks
- Architectures supporting IP over an optical infrastructure
- Evolution of routing protocols for multicast
- Strategies for the introduction of IPv6
- Evolution of mobile networks for an All IP solution
- Mobile ad-hoc IP networks
- Interworking aspects
- Approaches for introducing QoS in the Internet
- Support of real time services in the Internet
- Internet security
- Internet operations and management
- Results from advanced pilot IP networks.
Authors are encouraged to submit original papers not exceeding twenty double-spaced pages. All manuscripts will
be subject to the standard Computer Networks review process.
Prospective authors should submit postscript or PDF versions of their papers electronically to one of the guest
editors. Authors should state clearly that their papers are for the Special Issue on The New Internet Architecture.

Dear TC6 members,
Having in view the simplification of the guidelines to the IFIP TC6
event organisers, it will be enough to recommend the reading of three
documents to any candidate who wishes to organize a TC6 event:
- TC6 Event Organizer's Guidelines
- IFIP Event Approval Guidelines.
- Organizing an IFIP Event: phases and checklists.
The first document is in the TC6 web page. There, a link can be found
towards the second and third documents which are in the IFIP web page.
Altogether these three documents provide the required information to
organize an IFIP event.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca
