      Dear all,
I received the following CfP for MATA 05 (see below).
The website says that the approval by IEEE and IFIP is still pending.
Which WG is involved here?
Best regards

IEEE/IFIP- MATA'2005
 2nd International Workshop on Mobility Aware 
    	Technologies and Applications
  "Service Delivery Platforms for Next Generation Networks "       
    October 17-19, 2005, Montreal, Canada
    	http://www.congresbcu.com/mata2005/
Scope
-----
In face of the emerging notion of seamless services and next generation
networks (NGNs) driven by the convergence of the mobile internet and
fixed / mobile telecommunication networks, mobility aware technologies
and middleware play an important role.
The aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for academic and
industrial researchers and developers from the IT, internet and
telecommunications domains, as well as network operators, and service
providers to discuss the advances in mobility aware technologies and
their applications in the field of NGN.
The workshop will focus on new concepts, protocols and architectures as
well as  recent developments of mobility aware middleware, service
delivery platform technologies and related applications within the
fields of terminal, network and service provisioning and management,
service control for multimedia services, policy-based service control
and management, adaptable telecommunication systems and applications,
programmable networks and devices / autonomic communications, ambient
networks, intelligent appliances, smart end systems and smart
environments, 
Emphasis will be given to specific MATA aspects, such as security,
interoperability, performance, context awareness, mobility and presence
management, as well as new mobile application fields, business models
and related topics.
