Joint events with ACM, IEEE and others
by Otto Spaniol 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

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

CFP: IEEE HWN-RMQ'06 EXTENDED DEADLINE: AUG 22, 2005
by Youssef Iraqi 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP, but please forward to anyone you believe may be interested -- thanks!] 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 - Simulation study of heterogeneous wireless networks - Scalability of heterogeneous wireless networks - Implementation and testbed experiments - Standardization activities for heterogeneous wireless networks - Heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks Important Dates - Paper submission: 22 August 2005 (new date) - Notification of acceptance: 15 September 2005 - Final Paper submission: 14 October 2005 Paper Submissions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

Transport offer wrt meeting 2005/2
by Otto Spaniol 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

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

Panel members for I3E?
by Otto Spaniol 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

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
