Use of new communication technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented archi- tectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dyna- micity of distribution constellations. The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications, including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experi- mental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contri- butions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and self-* properties. DAIS'06 is the sixth event in a series of successful international conferences which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing. Due to the success of the predecessor conferences and the emergence of many interesting and relevant new topics, DAIS has recently switched to a one-year-rhythm.

Attendants of DAIS'06 will have the opportunity to attend the sessions of the two colocated conferences. Bologna, a historical capital of culture, was founded by the Etruscans in the VI century B.C. Bologna sits in the southern part of the historically and gastronomically famous Po River plain, a natural crossroads in northern Italy. Bologna's location was important not only for the trading of goods but also for the exchanging of ideas and the disseminating of culture. The Università di Bologna, founded in 1088 is the oldest university in the western world. Bologna is famous for its porticoes. Dating back to the 12th century the porticoes were used to enlarge houses to support the growing University community. Today 350,000 people call Bologna their home, of which 100,000 are students. Bologna, Italy's culinary capital, is also famous for its food. Furthermore, Bologna is surrounded by the famous food/wine regions of Parma, Modena, and Tuscany. Bologna is very accessible, being served by an international airport and one of the main hubs of the Italian railway system. Within easy access is Florence (1 hour), Milan (1.5 hours), Venice (1.5 hours), Rome (2.4 hours) and the ubiquitous Italian countryside of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.

Ruiz Publicity Co-chair AD HOC NOW 2006 http://ants.dif.um.es/staff/pedrom/ -- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION SUMMER SCHOOL IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS OTTAWA, CANADA, AUGUST 14-16, 2006 http://kunz-pc.sce.carleton.ca/AdHocNow2006/sensors.html Sponsored by Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS: http://www.mitacs.math.ca/) Processors, sensors, and wireless radios are becoming extremely small and inexpensive. We therefore foresee a world where many everyday objects and physical environments are enriched by computational power. Wireless sensor networks are a relatively recent and exciting example of networked embedded sensing systems and significant research projects in this area are under way throughout the world. The area provides a rich field of research challenges and possibilities for technology transfer (for example, RFID sensors and supply chain management, smart homes/cities, health care, etc.). Goals and Audience ================== The intended audience are post-graduate students from primarily Canadian universities at both the Master's and PhD level, and young researchers from universities and industrial laboratories around the world. If there is room, senior undergraduate students who have a strong research interest in sensor networks will also be considered. The number of participants will be limited to approximately 50. The goal of the summer school is to provide a basic survey of the most relevant subfields, to present the perspectives and the underlying technologies, as well as to identify important research themes. Furthermore, the school will provide the opportunity to get to know other people working in the field, to meet other graduate students and to interact with distinguished scholars. We hope that it will lead to the establishment of contacts that may result in future research collaborations as well. Schedule/Topics (tentative) =========================== The summer school will last for 3 days and will feature a number of different activities. * Lectures * TinyOS and ZigBee tutorial * Participants workshop. Some time will be reserved for a workshop where participants can present their own work and involvement in the field. * Social event(s) to encourage the development of a community among the researchers. * AdHoc NOW conference. The summer school will be held just before AdHoc NOW (http://kunz-pc.sce.carleton.ca/AdHocNow2006/). This will allow participants to register for and participate in the conference. Registration, Costs, and Travelling =================================== Participation is open to all qualified applicants, but the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 50 (with 40 spots reserved for graduate students). If we receive more applications, we will select participants based on their work area and background, geographic distribution, and date of registration. If you are interested in participating, please send an e-mail with the pertinent information (name, contact information, research area and background) to tkunz(a)sce.carleton.ca. If you want to give a brief talk about your own work, please also include a short title and abstract. Graduate students should also provide their student ID and e-mail address of their faculty advisor/supervisor, to allow us to verify their student status. The nominal registration fee will be C$400, with the registration fee for the graduate student participants covered through support from MITACS. Participants are responsible to arrange for their own travel and accomodation. For example, residence space at the University of Ottawa is available for approximately C$35/day for a single room or C$50/day for a shared room. Participants are expected to arrive in the afternoon or evening of Sunday, August 13. The school itself will begin on Monday (Aug. 14) morning and end on Wednesday (Aug. 16) evening. Important Dates =============== Application deadline: May 6, 2006 Notification of admittance: May 20, 2006 Summer School: August 14-16, 2006 AdHoc-Now conference: August 17-19, 2006 Contact Information =================== Thomas Kunz Associate Professor Carleton University tkunz@.sce.carleton.ca

IFIP TC6 technical Sponsorship Request
by raouf boutaba 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

I have received a request, for IFIP tecnhical co-sponsorship of the ICN'06 conference from the organizer (Prof. Alain Sentini). The conference is already technically sponsored by IEEE. The conference will take place in Mauricius. More information can be found at: <http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html> http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html Mauricius information society is already member of IFIP, but we don't have a representative at TC6. Prof Nawaz Mohamudally at the Technical University of Mauritius has interest in Networks and might be interested in becoming TC6 national delegate. Let me know, if you want me to pursue further the above two possibilities, i.e., what WGs are interested in endorsing ICN 2006 and if we want to invite Prof. Nawaz to become a TC6 delegate. Regards Raouf -----Original Message----- From: Senteni Alain [mailto:senteni@uom.ac.mu] Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 2:12 AM To: raouf boutaba Cc: Pierre Gigord; Soyjaudah Sanjeev Subject: ICN 2006 < http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html > Salut Rauf, J'arrive de la Réunion où Pascal Annelli me demande au nom de Pascal Lorenz, de l'aider à associer les institutions mauriciennes concernées à ICN06 qui aura lieu à Maurice < http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html >. Au titre de secrétaire de ICTKMA qui représente Maurice à l'IFIP, je lui ai proposé d'en faire un "IFIP event". Pour cela il doit falloir d'abord le blessing du TC6, puisque cela relève de vos compétences bien plus que des miennes. Il s'agit d'une conf IEEE, il suffirait donc que vous soyez d'accord pour qu'on y rajoute le logo IFIP. Faire ça à travers ICTKMA permettra d'associer d'un seul coup l'université, l'univ de technologie etc. On pourrait même en profiter pour demander à Nawaz Mohamudally de représenter Maurice au TC6. Il travaille à l'Université de Technologie et je crois qu'il s'intéresse aux réseaux. je ne sais pas au juste quelle est la procédure, mais tu peux sans doute l'aider. a+ Alain ------ Pr.

========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE SECON 2006 Third Annual IEEE Communications Society Conference on Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks Reston, VA, USA September 25-29, 2006 Paper submissions due (via EDAS): April 1, 2006 (Abstract/title registration) April 7, 2006 (Full paper) http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html ========================================================================== The third annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to exchange ideas, techniques, and applications, discuss best practices, raise awareness, and share experiences among researchers, practitioners, standard developers and policy makers in the field of sensor, ad hoc, and mesh networks and systems. IEEE SECON grew out of IEEE INFOCOM (http://www.ieee-infocom.org) in 2004, in order to create an event that focused on the important and exciting topics of Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks. The conference will be organized to provide for collegiality and continuity in the discussions of the various topics among participants from the industrial, governmental and academic sectors. Original technical papers that address the communications, networking, applications, systems and algorithmic aspects of mesh and sensor networks, as well as those that describe practical deployment and implementation experiences are solicited for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings. Papers presenting novel contributions in such disciplines as communications, networking protocols and architectures, algorithms, embedded systems, middleware and information management, and novel applications are solicited. PAPERS: Full papers - describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and networks - are solicited. Papers with a deep focus on a specific discipline or stimulated by the synergistic interaction of diverse disciplines are encouraged. Papers describing practical application of technology to real-world problems are similarly encouraged. Papers submitted should not be concurrently under review at another conference, journal or similar venue. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New architectures and protocols to support communication, localization, time synchronization, routing, data dissemination, and other distributed services in heterogeneous, large-scale distributed, mesh networks and sensor networks * Novel algorithms and theories for management, supervisory control, and monitoring of distributed ad hoc networks, and techniques for the interpretation and use of sensor data in decision-making processes * Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale distributed ad hoc and sensor networks, practical implementations and deployments, and real-world experiences * Theories and models on fundamental information and communication aspects of wireless mesh and sensor networks * Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and data dissemination in sensor and mesh networks * Algorithms and protocols to support quality of service in mesh and sensor networks, including admission control, resource allocation and fairness, and capacity planning * Integration of sensors into engineered systems, including novel techniques for on-sensor renewable power sources, mechanisms for on-sensor self-calibration and self-testing, and efficient schemes to maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms * Hardware platforms incorporating multiple sensors, computation, actuation, and wireless interfaces * Software platforms, middleware, and tools for mesh and sensor network applications development, deployment, and management TUTORIALS AND PANELS: Proposals for tutorials and panels on current topics in the field of ad hoc and sensor networking and applications are solicited. Panels related to the commercial application and development of sensors and mesh networks are especially encouraged. DEMOS AND EXPO: Demonstrations that showcase practical implementations, industrial and commercial developments, and new applications for mesh and sensor networks are solicited. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS system. Details regarding the paper format and the submission process will be announced shortly at http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. IEEE Communications Society policy states that all accepted SECON 2006 papers must have at least one registration at the regular rate. For authors co-authoring multiple papers, one regular registration is valid for up to three papers.
