**Bitte entschuldigen Sie, wenn Sie diese Nachricht mehrfach bekommen*** Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, die Einsendefrist fuer die Tagung 'Next Generation Networks' ist bis zum 15. November verlaengert worden. Es besteht daher auch jetzt noch die Moeglichkeit, einen Beitrag zu dieser Tagung einzureichen. Die Veranstaltung wird von der ITU-T organisiert und von Cisco sowie von der IEEE ond der IEEE ComSoc unterstuetzt. Der Tagungsband wird bei IEEE erscheinen. Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist - in alter ITU-Tradition - kostenlos. Fuer weitere Informationen stehe ich gerne zur Verfuegung. Viele Gruesse aus AC Kai Jakobs. INNOVATIONS IN NGN - FUTURE NETWORK AND SERVICES AN ITU-T KALEIDOSCOPE EVENT TECHNICALLY CO-SPONSORED BY IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY Third Call for Papers - Extended deadline http://itu.int/ITU-T/uni/kaleidoscope Supported by: Cisco Systems Technically co-sponsored by: IEEE, IEEE Communications Society Innovations in Next Generation Networks is the first in a series of peer- reviewed academic conferences that aims at increasing the dialogue amongst academia, research organizations and experts working on the standardization of information and communications technologies (ICT). By viewing technologies through a Kaleidoscope, these forward looking conferences will also seek to identify new topics for standardization. Arguably no industry undergoes faster changes than the ICT industry. So looking five, ten or more years into the future - What will the network look like? Which services will be offered? How will it affect people's lives? To this end ITU, with technical co-sponsor IEEE Communications Society, is issuing this third CfP. NGN represents one of the most complex transitions ever to have occurred in telecoms. Taking into account new realities in the ICT industry such as the need to converge and optimise operating networks and the extraordinary expansion of digital traffic, NGN will enable a richer set of applications to the end user, as well as allowing operators to benefit from a far simpler architecture and the economies of scale associated with standards. In addition, in NGN, new services can be added far more quickly and easily, without the need to add any new network infrastructure. Objectives Innovations in NGN will bring together visionary ideas on the future of NGN. It is to inspire contributions towards a kaleidoscopic view of communication habits for the future and it will highlight technologies, services and applications five years and beyond that will capitalize on the NGN infrastructure and lead to the ubiquitous network society in which information can be accessed anywhere and anytime by anyone and anything. The event will also cover multidisciplinary aspects related to the deployment of NGN, including analysis of regulatory and societal challenges. Audience Innovations in NGN is targeted at all researchers, academics, students, engineers, regulators and thinkers who go "beyond the next quarter". No participation fee will be charged. Date and venue 12-13 May 2008, Geneva, Switzerland. Submission of papers Prospective authors, in particular from academia and R&D centres, are invited to submit complete, original papers with up to 6000 words including summary and references using the template at the conference website. (The camera-ready version will be limited to a maximum of eight pages). Main themes are suggested below. All papers will be handled electronically and reviewed through a double-blind, peer-review process. Please note that the submission dates for papers are strict deadlines. The online paper submission tool is now available from the conference website. Deadlines Submission of complete paper: 15 November 2007 Notification of paper acceptance: 30 January 2008 Submission of camera-ready paper: 7 March 2008 Registration for the event: 18 April 2008 Keynotes Confirmed keynote addresses and keynote track papers are: Myung Oh, President of Konkuk University, Korea Alexander D.

This event focuses on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. The conference's goal is to provide a forum for current work in its early stages. Original papers are invited from the research and operations communities on topics including, but not limited to: * Active Network Measurements * Passive Network Measurements * Performance Metrics * Traffic Statistics * Measurement Visualization * New Measurement Approaches & Techniques * Deployment of Measurement Infrastructure * New Measurement Initiatives * Applications of Network Measurements * Network Measurements and Security * Network Troubleshooting using Measurements * Reproduce (or Refute) Previous Measurement Results PAM values contributions that are broader than experimental papers. Data and tool release are seen as first-class contributions and preference will be given in that direction. In particular, releasing measurement data allows for better science to be conducted in the field of network measurement. Therefore, an award will be given at PAM 2008 for the best paper based on a new dataset that the authors are releasing for community use in subsequent research. To qualify, a paper must significantly utilize a dataset that has been collected for the work presented in the paper. Further, the dataset must be freely available to any researcher; wireless data sets may, for instance, be published through CRAWDAD. Novel datasets are especially encouraged. The awarded paper will be chosen from the set of qualifying papers accepted for the conference by a committee made up of a subset of the program and steering committees. Conference Web Page ------------------- http://pam2008.cs.wpi.edu/ http://www.pamconf.org/ Submission Information ---------------------- To ensure PAM 2008 is fresh and interesting, we are soliciting papers, submitted in the LNCS format, that do not exceed 10 pages. No additional space will be given once a paper has been accepted. Authors should flag papers they wish to be considered for the best paper based on a new dataset award with a footnote on the first page of the paper. The proceedings of past PAM conferences were published in Springer LNCS series, and we have a preliminary indication from Springer that this will continue for PAM 2008 (pending the formal agreement). Authors are, as always, asked to refrain from submitting papers submitted to PAM to other venues during the reviewing period.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [acf-members] Mission-critical Networking - CfP Datum: Fri, 5 Oct 2007 12:42:49 +0200 (MEST) Von: Mikhail Smirnov <Mikhail.Smirnov(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> Antwort an: acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org, Mikhail Smirnov <Mikhail.Smirnov(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: acf-members <acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org> 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mission-Critical Networking (MCN’2008) www.criticalnet.org In conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM’2008 Phoenix, Arizona, April 8-12 “Mission-Critical Networking (MCN)” refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection, emergency and crisis intervention, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity and emergent behaviors. MCN should comprise the best possible networking technology, infrastructure and services that may alleviate the risk and help save the lives of both the general public and the network users. As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication, ad hoc and mesh networking and networked sensor systems continue, more opportunities are being opened to mission-critical networks to benefit from these technologies. A primary challenge to the operations of mission-critical networks is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, autonomic, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of authorized and unauthorized entities, audio and video communication, secure emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, visual analytics, and service-oriented architecture. Another key feature for mission-critical networking is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks. This workshop solicits high quality technical contributions to the area of mission-critical networking. The manuscript must explicitly address relevance to MCN. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: • Smart environments and infrastructures • Rapidly deployable services and networks • Vehicular networks • Body sensor networks • Cognitive and autonomic networks, protocols, and services • Ubiquitous networking and services • Security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and trade-offs • Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real-time control • Decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation • Trust management, security, interoperability, survivability and QoS support • Context-aware network and service management • Location determination and tracking • Energy efficiency • Admission, load and flow control • Visual analytics • Critical traffic and mobility analysis • Cross-layer design and optimization • Components and architectures for next-generation emergency calling and alerting • Network policy management • Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies General Chairs • Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA • Henning Schulzerinne, Columbia University, USA Program Chairs • Hannes Tschofenig, Siemens AG, Germany • Moustafa Youssef, Alexandria University, Egypt Publicity Chair • Mohamed Younis, University of Maryland Baltimore County, USA Panels Chair • Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Awards Chair • Ashok Agrawala, University of Maryland, USA • Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA Technical Program Committee • Ehab Al-Shaer, DePaul University, USA • Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany • Hossam Hassanein, Queens University, Canada • Wendi Heinzelman, University of Rochester, USA. • James Joshi, University of Pittsburgh, USA. • Deepa Kundur, Texas A&M University, USA • Victor Leung, University of British Columbia, Canada • Scott Midkiff, Virginia Tech, USA. • Nader Moayeri, NIST, USA • Farid Nait-Abdesselam, University of Sciences and Tech. of Lille, France • Cristina Pinotti, University of Perguia, Italy • Jean-Jacque Quisquater, Catholic University, Belgium • Pedro M.
