The intention of the conference is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and findings in a wide range of areas related to network control and network engineering with a focus on QoS, security and mobility control. Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to, the following: QoS Policy-based management architecture Programmable network and Active networks Intelligent agent QoS Control and QoS Engineering Traffic measurements and monitoring, Traffic engineering in converging networks Traffic modeling and simulation Quality of Service provisioning, Network planning and optimization Process, methodologies, and tools for network control Policy models for system management, Provisioning of policies Policy frameworks for active networks, mobile systems, e-commerce Integrating policies into existing systems and environments Business rules and organizational control Extensions and refinements to policy standards Distributed game control Case studies of applying policy-based technologies Security Security control and Security engineering AAA Configurable security policies Cryptography protocols Policy models for security Distributed trusted infrastructure Water marking for flow control Mobility Mobility control and mobility engineering Policy models for mobility Pervasive/ubiquitous/wearable mobile systems Security and privacy issues for mobile and wireless systems Mobility and QoS management Control schemes in ad-hoc networks Personal area networks QoS and security IEEE 802.11 engineering Smart devices Smart cards, security and mobility Submission Submissions should be original and limited to 20 double spaced 12 point pages in length. Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF to the following address: URL: http://netcon04.uib.es The proceedings of the conference will be published by Kluwer.
