Dear all,
in order to update the TC6 calendar (and in order
to maintain it more easily) please send me an information of
*all* you planned events (conferences, working conferences,
workshops,...) in the following format (see the example for
Networking 2006):
------------
Open Conference;
Networking 2006;
WG 6.3 + 6.2 + 6.8;
15-19 May, 2006;
Coimbra, Portugal;
Email Contact: Edmundo Monteiro <edmundo(a)dei.uc.pt>
URL: http://networking2006.dei.uc.pt/
------------
It doesn't matter if I get two or three replies if several
WG's are involved (such as in the example).
But please do this work. It is practically impossible
for me to do it alone and in Wroclaw we got only a part of
the necessary information.
Please send a copy also to Herbert Leitold <Herbert.Leitold(a)a-sit.at>
who maintains our electronic calendar.
Best regards
Otto

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
MED HOC NET 2006
The Fifth Annual
MEDITERRANEAN AD HOC NETWORKING
Workshop
http://www.medhoc.diit.unict.it/2006/
June 14-17 2006
Lipari, Italy
************************************************************
Ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research
community in the last several years. Now that some of the
fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have
been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to
new issues, which include application scenarios (road
safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.),
autonomous Organization and operation, optimization and
control, service creation and support, middleware. Moreover,
wireless MESH networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off"
aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm
with more traditional networking, which poses new and
exciting technical challenges.
Med-Hoc-Net 2006 is the major annual international workshop
aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and
visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from
all over the world. Sharing ideas, views, results, and
experiences in the field of wireless multi-hop networking is
what Med-Hoc-Net 2006 intends to be about. Anything from
theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad
hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of
interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community.
The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2006 cover a variety of
topics related to ad hoc and MESH networks, including but
not limited to:
- Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures
- Routing algorithms and protocols
- MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio
resource sharing
- Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks
- Middleware for ad hoc networks
- Application driven architectures and protocols
- Sensor network applications and protocols
- Vehicular networks
- Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access
networks
- Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes
- Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee,
IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, etc.)
- Self organization and network reconfiguration
- Optimization models and algorithms
- Resource and service discovery
- Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc
networks
- Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming,
etc.)
- QoS support
- Security and privacy
The members of program committee will referee all papers,
and accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be published in
the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks journal.
Manuscripts must be formatted according to the IEEE
double-column standard format, with the exception of the
font size, which must be 11pt. Authors should use only
standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and
Helvetica, or their equivalent. The maximum length of the
manuscript is 8 pages, including figure, tables and
references.
Med-Hoc-Net will have a Poster/Demo Session as well. Authors
that want to present their work in such format are solicited
to submit a description of their contribution in no more
than 3 pages by April 7, 2006. More details can be found in

LAACS 2006 CFP
First Latin American Autonomic Computing Symposium (LAACS 2006) Organized by
Unicamp, Puc-Campinas and SBC Support Sponsors: LARC, RNP and IEEE (approval
pending) Corporate Sponsors: IBM and Padtec
http://www.fee.unicamp.br/laacs2006
=====================================================
To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale IT systems today,
computer elements must learn to manage themselves, in accordance with
high-level guidance and human supervision - a concept that has been
referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of
autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a
wide variety of fields.
The purpose of the 1st Latin American Autonomic Computing Symposium is
to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing aspects of
self-management and automation in computing systems. In doing so, we
hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to
realize the vision of large-scale autonomic systems. Papers are
solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic
computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships
among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or
experiences.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Autonomic computing systems, components or applications that exhibit
self-monitoring,
self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or
self-protection behavior.
* Middleware technologies for autonomic systems, based on interoperable
Grid services,
Agent-based systems, Web services.
* Supporting technologies for autonomic computing, such as correlation
techniques, knowledge representation, ontologies, process automation,
systems & network management, service-level agreements & policies,
negotiation, behavior enforcement, monitoring, dependency analysis,
problem localization and remediation, workload management and
provisioning, optimization, security, communication protocols, etc.
* New paradigms supporting systems, components or applications for
autonomic computing, such as biological (or genetic, evolutionary),
economic, mathematical (or statistical), or social.
* Methodologies, frameworks, tools, models, languages, runtime and
interfaces for building
systems, components or applications for autonomic computing.
* Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding,
controlling, or exploiting
emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops,
predictive methods,
robustness, and related topics.
* Experiences with autonomic systems, components, tools or application
prototypes:
measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies,
or experiences with
large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Technical papers (maximum of 12 pages in length), Application papers
(maximum of 8 pages in length) and Posters (maximum of 4 pages in
length) written in ENGLISH are invited on a wide variety of topics
related to autonomic computing as indicated above. All submissions will
be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality,
technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the
conference themes. Submitted papers must include original work, and may
not be under consideration for another conference or a journal. They
should also not be under review or be submitted to another forum during
this event's review process. Posters are not subject to any of these
restrictions. Authors should submit all papers electronically (in PDF or
postscript format) via the event web site at
http://www.fee.unicamp.br/laacs2006/, and should follow the SBC format.
Templates can also be found in the event web site.
OTHER SUBMISSIONS
This event may also feature extraordinary sessions consisting of
demos/exhibits, tutorials and birds of a feather sessions. Interested
parties should contact the event organizers directly for submission -
for contact information please consult the event web site.
BEST PAPER AWARDS
Best paper awards will be presented in three categories: technical,
application and poster. In addition, a student best paper award will
also be presented. All awards will consist of a special certificate and
additional incentive prizes to be determined by event sponsors. A
student paper is defined as one in which the principal (not sole) author
is a student. The student will be required to attend the conference and
present the paper to be eligible to receive the award.
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will appear in electronic proceedings published by the
Brazilian Computer Society, which will be distributed at the main SBC
conference.
IMPORTANT DATES
All paper submissions: April 9, 2006 (hard deadline, no extension) Author
notification: April 30, 2006 Final manuscripts due: May 10, 2006 All other
submissions (Tutorial/Demo/Exhibit/etc): May 10, 2006 Event dates: July
18-19, 2006
