New TC6 delegate from South Africa
by Guy Leduc 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Dear all, I've just learned that Koos has resigned from his position as South African delegate in TC6. The South African society has nominated Pieter Kritzinger. I know Pieter as a WG6.1 representative and have already welcomed him in TC6. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Koos for his long term involvement in TC6 (in fact he was already there in 1998 when I joined as WG6.1 chair and I don't know when he actually joined TC6). I hope we will all meet him again at our TC6 meeting in South Africa in 2008.

It is a pitty that Koos has reseigned to his position as South African representative at the TC6 because he is one of the historical members. However, South Africa has done a good choice for replacing Koos; I know Pieter since long time ago and I am very happy to know that he will be the next South African represetnative. I also hope that we will meet Koos in the TC6 meeting to be held in south Africa next year.

ICST - GridNets'07: 1st International Conference on Networks for Grid Applications (CFP)
by info＠icstconferences.org 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Please excuse multiple copies. ********************************************************************* * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * GridNets 2007 * * First International Conference on Networks for Grid Applications * * Co-Sponsored by Create-Net, ICST and INRIA * * In-technical cooperation with ACM SIGARCH * * Lyon, France, October 17-19, 2007 * * http://www.gridnets.org/2007 * * * ********************************************************************* The GridNets conference series is an annual international meeting which provides a focused and highly interactive forum where researchers and technologists have the opportunity to present and discuss leading research, developments, and future directions in the Grid networking area. The objective of this event is to serve as both the premier conference presenting best Grid Networking research and a forum where new concepts can be introduced and explored. The previous events in this series were: GridNets 2004 in San Jose (USA), GridNets 2005 in Boston (USA), GridNets 2006 in San Jose (USA). All of these events have been successful in attracting high quality papers and a wide international participation. From the first event through the fourth, we have been known as the GridNets Workshop affiliated with the IEEE BroadNets conference series. For this, our fifth event, we will convene our first meeting as a conference and in Europe. Grid developers and practicioners are increasingly realising the importance of an efficient network support. Entire classes of applications would greatly benefit by a network-aware Grid middleware, able to effectively manage the network resource in terms of scheduling, access and use. Conversely, the peculiar requirements of Grid applications provide stimulating drivers for new challenging research towards the development of Grid-aware networks. Cooperation between Grid middleware and network infrastructure driven by a common control plane is a key factor to effectively empower the global Grid platform for the execution of network-intensive applications, requiring massive data transfers, very fast and low-latency connections, and stable and guaranteed transmission rates. Big e-science projects, as well as industrial and engineering applications for data analysis, image processing, multimedia, or visualisation just to name a few are awaiting an efficient Grid network support. They would be boosted by a global Grid platform enabling end-to-end dynamic bandwidth allocation, broadband and low-latency access, interdomain access control, and other network performance monitoring capabilities. Scope ----- * Network architectures and technologies for grids * Integration of advanced optical networking technologies into the grid environment. * End to end lightpath provisioning software systems and emergent standards * The network as a first class grid resource: network resource information publication, brokering and co-scheduling with other Grid resources. * Interaction of the network with distributed data management systems. * Network monitoring, traffic characterisation and performance analysis * Inter-layer interactions: optical layer with higher layer protocols, integration among layers * Experience with pre-production optical network infrastructures and exchange points * Peer-to-peer network enhancements applied to the Grid * Network support for wireless and ad hoc Grids * Data replication and multicasting strategies and novel data transport protocols * Fault-tolerance, self healing networks * Security and scalability issues when connecting a large number of sites within a virtual organization VPN. * Simulations * New concepts and requirements which may fundamentally reshape the evolution of Networks. Workshops --------- Proposals for workshops are solicited. Potential instructors are requested to submit a workshop proposal in ASCII or PDF format to the Workshops chair, Laurent Lefevre (laurent.lefevre at inria dot fr) by April 3, 2007 Important Dates --------------- Workshop Proposal Deadline: April 3, 2007 Paper Submission Deadline: May 11, 2007, Midnight CET Paper Acceptance Notification: June 22, 2007 Final paper submission: July 27, 2007 Conference in Lyon: October 17-19, 2007 (For submission instructions, refer to http://www.gridnets.org) Organizing Committee ==================== General co-chairs: Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet (INRIA, ENS-Lyon), Michael Welzl (University of Innsbruck) Local co-chairs: Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet (INRIA, ENS-Lyon), Paulo Goncalves (INRIA,ENS-Lyon) Program Committee co-chairs: Peter Clarke (University of Edinburgh), David Hutchison (Lancaster University), Joe Mambretti (Northwestern University) Publicity chair: Serafim Kotrotsos (EXIS IT) for Europe, Tomohiro Kudoh (AIST) for Asia, Sumit Naiksatam (Cisco Systems) for USA Publications chair: Piero Spinnato (CREATE-NET) Workshop chair: Laurent Lefevre (INRIA, ENS-Lyon) Steering Committee: Imrich Chlamtac, Chair, (CREATE-NET), Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet (INRIA,ENS-Lyon), Michael Welzl (University of Innsbruck) Industry track chair: Bela Berde (Alcatel) Panels chair: Volker Sander (University of Applied Sciences Aachen) Exhibits and sponsorship chair: Laurent Lefevre (INRIA, ENS-Lyon) Conference coordination and registration: Zita Rozsa (ICST) Finance chair: Karen Decker (ICST) Webmaster: Jean-Christophe Mignot (CNRS, ENS-Lyon) -------------------------------------------------- You are reading ICST conference newsletter.

=================== CALL FOR PAPERS - PWC 2007 12th IFIP International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications September 12-14, 2007, Prague, Czech Republic http://pwc07.cvut.cz/ PWC provides an international forum for discussions between researchers, practitioners and students interested in new developments in mobile computing and wireless networks. PWC'07 is the twelfth conference of this series sponsored by IFIP WG 6.8 and will be held in Prague, Czech Republic. The conference will consist of three days of scientific presentations. The PWC 2007 technical committee solicits papers describing original, previously unpublished, completed or on-going research. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Mobile and Wireless Networking IP-based Mobile Networks Mobility Management Evolution of 3G Systems Future Generation Systems Integration of Heterogeneous Mobile and Wireless Networks QoS in Mobile and Wireless Networks Multicast Support in WLAN Ad Hoc Networks Personal Area Networks, Body Area Networks Wireless Sensor Networks, RFID Wireless LAN Software for Wireless Systems Ultra-Wide Band and Short-range Networks Energy-efficient Protocols and Power Management Security and Privacy in Mobile and Wireless Networks Transport Layer Issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks Analysis, Simulation and Measurement of Mobile and Wireless Networks Cross-layer Design in Mobile and Wireless Networks Mobile and Wireless Applications Signal Processing in Wireless Networks For the submission format of your full paper, we strongly prefer, but do not require strict adherence to the LNCS format. However, the final paper must be in strict LNCS format and number of LNCS pages must be 12 pages (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), and provided according to the LNCS guidelines, or it cannot be included in the PWC proceedings. The LNCS format is quite different from plain A4, so to limit your reformatting effort we strongly suggest you also provide the submitted paper in LNCS format. Please refer to Springer's author guidelines for LNCS papers. Authors must state that their paper has not been published elsewhere nor is under review by another conference or journal. Submission instructions for papers will appear on this website. All papers will be reviewed by the technical program committee members. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Authors are required to attend the conference and present their paper. *IMPORTANT DATES Full papers: 30 March 2007 Notification of acceptance: 4 May 2007 Camera ready: 27 May 2007 Early registration deadline: 1 June 2007 For more information please contact: Robert Bestak Czech Technical University in Prague Department of Telecommunications Engineering E-mail: bestar1(a)fel.cvut.cz Check our Web page at http://pwc07.cvut.cz <http://pwc07.cvut.cz/> for the latest information concerning the conference.
