CoNEXT - Toulouse, France ------------------------------------ http://www.co-next.net info(a)co-next.net October 24-27, 2005 Organized by IST E-NEXT in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT aims to become a major forum in the area of future networking technologies. By bringing together - under the umbrella of the Network of Excellence E-NEXT (http://www.ist-e-next.net/) - a number of successful workshops run by various networking communities, it will encourage much needed synergies between these communities. CoNEXT is a joint conference series having its roots in QoFIS, NGC and MIPS. QoFIS and NGC are highly successful international workshops initiated by two European COST Actions, namely COST263 on Quality of Future Internet Services and COST264 on Networked Group Communications. MIPS resulted from the merging of two other major workshops, namely IDMS (concentrated on interactive and distributed multimedia services) and PROMS (focusing on protocols for networked multimedia systems); also the associated ICQT (Internet Charging and QoS Technology) workshop is integrated into CoNEXT 2005. CoNEXT is designed as an open, multi-track conference aiming to attract longer-term studies and to contribute to the integration of networking research at the international level. Examples of relevant topics are: * Autonomic Communications * Context Awareness * Crosslayer Integration * Dependable Networks * Experimental Networking * Identity Management * Internet Economics * Large Test-bed * Mobile Communication * Monitoring * Network Security * Overlay Networks * Scalability * Sensor Networks * Service Engineering * Traffic Engineering * User Perceived QoS * Wireless Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of publication. Papers must be submitted in electronic format following the instructions provided on the CoNEXT web site. The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. ToN will consider fast tracking the very best papers accepted for publication at CoNEXT Important dates: Submission: May 6th, 2005 Notification: July 1st, 2005 Final version: August 19th, 2005 Conference chairs Michel Diaz, LAAS-CNRS, France Arturo Azcorra, University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Patrick S=E9nac, ENSICA, France, (Organization chair) Program chairs Philippe Owezarski, LAAS-CNRS, France Serge Fdida, University P&M Curie (Paris 6), France Steering Committee Arturo Azcorra, University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Fernando Boavida, University of Coimbra, Portugal Michel Diaz, LAAS-CNRS, France Christophe Diot, Intel research Cambridge, UK Serge Fdida, University P&M Curie-Paris, France Laurent Mathy, Lancaster University, UK Jennifer Rexford, AT&T Labs, USA Mikhail Smirnov, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany Ioannis Stavrakakis, University of Athens, Greece Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland Giorgio Ventre, University of Napoli, Italy Program Committee --------------------- Marco Ajmone Marsan, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara, USA Paul Amer, University of Delaware, USA Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Ernst Biersack, Institut Eurecom, France Olivier Bonaventure, Univ.

[Fwd: IWQoS 2005 Call For Papers]
by Lars Wolf 18 Jan '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: IWQoS 2005 Call For Papers Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 18:17:28 +0100 From: IWQoS <iwqos(a)fmi.uni-passau.de> To: itc(a)comsoc.org *** Call for Paper *** Thirteenth International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2005) University of Pasau, Germany, on June 21-23, 2005 IWQoS has emerged as the prime annual event on Quality-of-Service (QoS)-related research and technologies. Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges. IWQoS has a long standing tradition of being highly interactive while maintaining highest standards of competitiveness and excellence. This characteristic will be re-emphasized by intercepting the regular paper sessions with stimulating discussion events about controversial and cutting edge topics. The program will include the following highlights: * Key Note by Industrial Speaker * A Panel on "Self-Organization and QoS" by David Hutchison, Lancaster Univ, U.K. * A Position Paper Session on "The Impact of QoS: Where Industry meets Academia" by Francois Le Faucheur, Cicso Systems France and Georgios Karagiannis, Twente Univ., The Netherlands. * A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research * Key Note and Invited Paper by Randy Katz, UC Berkeley, U.S.A. * Industrial Exhibition and Demonstration of Tools and Methods related to Quality of Communication <http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/lehrstuehle/demeer/iwqos/cfexhib.html> by Jan de Meer, Institute for High-performance Microelectronics GmbH, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany The panel and the short paper sessions will be highly interactive and leave much time and space for the audience to get involved. The position and short papers will go through the general reviewing process but the papers must specifically be submitted to fit the track. Short versions of regular technical papers will not be accepted here. It is rather encouraged to submit work that is either stimulating with a long term vision or that points to immediate relevance with need for controversial debate to address the foremost experts at the venue. Technical Program Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of domains. Our goal is to broaden the areas that QoS research can be pulled from by recognizing the multi-disciplinary aspect to much of the research. In addition to the traditional areas, the call for papers does solicit, but is not limited to, papers in such areas as: * QoS in mobile/wireless environments, Sensor networks, 4G (IP for 3G) * QoS in overlays and peer-to-peer networks * QoS in GRID environments * SLA: end-to-end QoS, QoS in large scale, heterogeneous environments * QoS-aware software components: QoS for Web Services * QoS and self-organizing systems * New frontiers of QoS * QoS measurement versus control * QoS adaptation versus resource reservation * Hidden QoS issues, have we just learned to ignore QoS problems? * QoS in context aware systems (also related to mobility) * User perception/user interfaces for QoS * QoS and distributed systems * QoS and middleware * Fault tolerance and QoS * QoS in ad hoc networks * Economics and QoS * Security, trust and QoS * QoS in the home and everywhere * QoS and new media * QoS and haptics , virtual environments * QoS in buisiness processes, workflows Further Information: Web Site: http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/iwqos Contact: iwqos(a)fmi.uni-passau.de Important Dates: * Paper abstract deadline: February 16th , 2005, 11:59pm CET * Full paper submission deadline: February 22th , 2005, 11:59pm CET * Short paper submission deadline: March 7th, 2005, 11:59pm CET * Notification of acceptance: March 24th , 2005 * Camera-ready papers due: April 8, 2005 * Hotel reservation cut-off date: May 19th , 2005 * Early registration deadline: April 8th, 2005 * Workshop dates: June 21-23 , 2005 * Workshop reception and welcome party: June 20th, 2005 Program Chairs: Hermann De Meer University of Passau Passau, Germany mail: demeer(a)fmi.uni-passau.de <mailto:demeer@fmi.uni-passau.de> Nina Bhatti Hewlett Packard Laboratories Palo Alto, California USA email: nina.bhatti(a)hp.com <mailto:nina.bhatti@hp.com> Organisation Chair: Silvia Lehmbeck University of Passau Passau, Germany email: iwqos(a)fmi.uni-passau.de <mailto:iwqos@fmi.uni-passau.de>
