Dear all,
as you know we organise more and more events together with ACM, IEEE
and others.
In addition to the publication and the copyright problems (book prices,
royalties,..) we will probably in another type of difficulties.
This problem just arised with MIDDLEWARE'04 (for which we have paid
3.000 EURO for student travel grant etc.).
MIDDLEWARE'04 has been organised together with ACM.
In the event request form, the conference promised a sponsorship fee
of 3.750 EURO for IFIP and was reminded for that sum by IFIP secretariat.
The conference organisors said that the event made a loss which was covered
by ACM. Now if they would pay the sponsorship fee to IFIP then ACM would have
to pay even more, and this would be unacceptable.
Then a lengthy communication with ACM was established and - believe it or
not -
ACM was generous enough to pay the fee to IFIP but they refused to make
similar arrangements for the future.
We have to say that at this moment in time we already have at least for
MIDDLEWARE'05 a similar ERF which "guarantees" to IFIP 4.500 EURO.
The message from ACM to IFIP's secretariat reads as follows:
--------
Thank you for your fax. I will have the service fee wired to your bank
account. For future events with ACM or the ACM SIGs only Patricia M. Ryan,
ACM COO has the authority to execute joint sponsorship agreements such as
this. Conference Chairs are not authorized to sign these agreements on
behalf of ACM. I will forward you a formal letter indicating that for your
files. Please let me know if there are any other outstanding sponsorship
agreements between ACM and IFIP at this time.
--------
This is probably what we call in Germany (and maybe in other countries, too)
a "Pyrrhic victory", i.e. like the victory of Pyrrhus in Apulum over
the Romans in 279 B.C. (which was indeed rather a defeat than a victory).
We will have a lot of strategic things to discuss in Wroclaw.
Best regards
Otto

CALL FOR PAPERS
(Submission deadline extended to August 22, 2005)
==================================================================
First IEEE International Workshop on
Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: Resource Management and QoS
(HWN-RMQ06)
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2006/conf_program/hwn-rmq_workshop/index.htm
In conjunction with
IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC06)
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 7-10 January 2006
==================================================================
Scope
The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to
integrate a potentially large number of different heterogeneous wireless
technologies in what could be considered a huge step forward towards
universal wireless access and omnipresent computing through seamless
mobility. Even though 4G standard is currently not defined, there are many
current outlooks that delineate the vision of the new wireless technologies.
Based on the emergent trends of mobile communication, 4G will have larger
bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother and quicker handoff and will focus on
guaranteeing faultless service and seamless handoff across a multitude of
wireless networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with
all of the existing mobile technologies. Special maneuvers will be necessary
amongst different access systems in terms of horizontal (intra-system) and
vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as seamless mobility, Quality of
Service (QoS), dependability and security.
In this workshop, we solicit high quality papers from leading researchers
that present state-of-the-art research in heterogeneous wireless networks
dealing with resource management techniques and QoS provisioning.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Interworking with 2.5G, 3G, and other wireless networks
- QoS provisioning for heterogeneous wireless networks
- End-to-End QoS Architectures
- Location, Mobility and Handoff Management
- Seamless vertical handoff techniques between different wireless networks
- Network selection criteria
- Resource management/allocation
- Bandwidth adaptation
- Power control and management
- Load, admission, and flow control
- Architecture design alternatives for heterogeneous wireless networks
- Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wireless
networks
- Pricing and billing issues
- Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks
- Heterogeneous wireless networks applications and measurements

Dear all,
TC6 meeting 2005/2 will be held Oct. 29+30, 2005 in Wroclaw
immediately after the conference I3E (Oct 26-28 in Poznan).
The conference chairman of I3E offers a transport by university car
from Poznan to Wroclaw on Friday, Oct. 28.
It hope that this will make the participation at the conference
+ the meeting more attractive.
Please check whether you can get a so-called "fork flight"
(maybe this is not at all the correct notation but you will know
what I mean) by which you have a flight to Poznan and the return flight
from Wroclaw for the same price as a flight to and from Wroclaw.
At least from Germany this is possible.
Best regards
Otto
Dear all,
I have been invited to organize a panel session at the occasion of the
conference I3E in Poznan which precedes our meeting 2005/2 in Wroclav.
The tentative programme of the conference is available via
<http://www.kti.ae.poznan.pl/conferences/i3e/program.html>
but the sequence of panels (the other panel is organised by
Volker Tschammer) is inverted there. "My panel" should be on
Thursday, 27 Oct. This information comes from an email received from
Wojtek Cellary:
-----
I would like kindly invite you to organize a panel discussion at the
i3e'2005 in Poznan, on Thursday October 27. Please propose a subject
related with i3e scope and panelists. May be a good idea would be to
invite TC members to become panelists. I expect panelists to register at
the conference.
The second panel will be organized by Volker Tschammer. The tentative
title of his panel is: "Pan-European eGovernment Aspects".
-----
My question: Who intends to attend I3E?
Who is willing to be a member of a panel discussion?
Of course, we would have to define asap a topic which is reasonably
different from Volker's topic.
Best wishes
Otto
Dear all,
please find enclosed the programmes for INTELLCOMM'05 and for MATA'o5
(both to be held in October 2005 in Montréal, Canada).

The workshop focuses on:
* How next generation service delivery platforms deliver enhanced QoS
management, operational efficiencies, flexible services composability,
faster time-to-market, efficient trust models and flexible pricing
models.
* Technical and business factors influencing the services composability
and network services delivery environments. The associated revenue and
cost models for consumers, suppliers and application providers.
* The influences of emerging distributed computing architecture styles
(loosely-coupled, asynchronous, compos able, collaborative,
decentralized and parallel services) related to service delivery models.
* Emerging middleware platforms for network services, service
composability, distributed architecture models and programming models.
* New services models (communication services, presence-enabled
services, content/media services and enterprise/legacy services) and
