FYI: Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 08:01:48 -0400 From: "John, Ajita (Ajita)" <ajita(a)avaya.com> CALL FOR PAPERS JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/ Special Issue on Distributed Management The recent rapid increase in the complexity of networks is mainly due to the expanded range of network devices and systems, multiple inter-connected networking technologies, and intricate services such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Voice over IP (VoIP). The intricacies in the services have been supported by increased capabilities in network elements and have compounded the difficulties in maintaining Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The increased complexity in networks poses tremendous challenges for management in terms of functionality, the amount of data to be processed, and the types of data. It is envisioned that distributed management will play a strong role in managing complex networks where the distribution of the various aspects of management such as monitoring, configuration, provisioning, accounting, billing, fault, and performance becomes imperative for greater reliability, scalability and efficiency. This special issue is intended to present the crucial issues and efficient solutions in the distributed management of current and future networks. The focus of this special issue will include the following topics: ? Distributed Management Architectures ? Distributed Management of Service Level Agreements and Quality of Service ? Distributed IP Traffic Management ? Distributed Management for Intra and Inter-domain Bandwidth Brokerage ? Distributed Management of IP Services such as VPN and Voice Over IP ? Distributed Management of Mobile Systems and Wireless Networks ? Distributed Management of IP Over SONET/SDH, WDM, and CATV ? Distributed Charging and Accounting for IP Services ? Distributed Fault, Performance, and Security Management ? Distributed Configuration and Policy-based Management ? Directory, Web, and XML technologies in Distributed Management ? Frameworks for developing Distributed Management Applications ? Scalability, Reliability, and Performance Issues in Distributed Management ? Case Studies of Distributed Management Systems ?

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [kuvs-lg] Inter-Domain-ROuting Workshop Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 13:54:26 +0200 From: Martina Zitterbart <zit(a)tm.uka.de> To: <kuvs-lg(a)comsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de> Hallo zusammen, möchte auf den angehängten Workshop hinweisen. Rege Teilnahme erwünscht. Grüße Martina Zitterbart Call for Contribution ======================= IDRWS 2003 - Inter-Domain Routing Workshop Veranstalter: GI/ITG Fachgruppe KuVS Organisation: R. Bless, G. Lichtwald, U. Walter - Universität Karlsruhe, Institut für Telematik S. Mink - Schlund & Partner AG, Karlsruhe O. Maennel - Technische Universität München N.N. - N.N. 17.09.2003 - 18.09.2003 An der Universität Karlsruhe (TH) ist geplant, einen Workshop zum Thema "Inter-Domain Routing" (IDR) zu veranstalten. Das rasante Wachstum des Internets hat in jüngster Zeit zahlreiche Fragen bezüglich der Skalierbarkeit, Stabilität und Konvergenz der heutigen Inter-Domain-Routing-Architektur aufgeworfen. Es wird teilweise befürchtet, dass aktuelle Lösungen (BGP) in einigen Jahren den Anforderungen nicht mehr gewachsen sind. Aus diesem Grund werden nun zunehmend Anstrengungen unternommen (u.a. in der IRTF) zur Erforschung zukünftiger Routing-Protokolle und Architekturen. Ein Hauptanliegen des Workshops ist es, Forscher, Betreiber und Hersteller zur Diskussion von Ideen und Erfahrungen bezüglich dieser Thematik zusammenzubringen. Für diesen IDRWS werden Vorträge gesucht. Insbesondere sind praktische Aspekte (z.B. betriebliche Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen aus ISP-Sicht) sowie neuartige Konzepte und Untersuchungen aus dem akademischen Umfeld willkommen. Gefragt sind Präsentationen aktueller Probleme des IDR, sowie entsprechende Lösungsansätze oder Entwicklungen in Richtung zukünftiger IDR-Verbesserungen bzw. neuer Routing-Architekturen. Es wird gebeten, einen kurzen Abstract (~150-500 Wörter) über den geplanten Vortrag einzureichen. Die Einreichung eines vollständigen Papers ist _NICHT_ notwendig. Wichtige Daten: * Deadline für Abstracts (Umfang 150-500 Wörter): 17.08.2003 * Veranstaltungsort: Karlsruhe * Vortragsdauer: 20 min (damit genug Zeit für Diskussion bleibt) * Ansprechpartner Götz Lichtwald <lichtwald(a)tm.uka.de> * Info-URL http://www.tm.uka.de/idrws

Mauro Brunato brunato(a)dit.unitn.it ============================================= CALL FOR PAPERS WONS 2004 First International Working Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems (sponsorship by IFIP WG 6.3 and 6.8 is pending for approval) http://dit.unitn.it/wons/ wons(a)dit.unitn.it Madonna di Campiglio (Italy) January 21-23, 2004 Wireless LANs are enjoying a growing interest at all levels: research, application, business. The explosive growth of IEEE802.11b (Wi-Fi), the ongoing change of spectrum management policies and the technology boost making wireless wideband a reality are bringing high bandwidth wireless connectivity to the masses. Connectivity and networking built "on-demand", where and when they are needed in an evolutionary and incremental fashion with limited investments, is spawning new research and business opportunities, offering unprecedented possibilities to support working communities and ubiquitous, cooperative computing. Many aspects of the current wireless LANs growth resemble the rapid, and in part anarchic and unexpected, evolution of the wired Internet. The road is traced and enthusiasm is mounting but many challenges have to be solved before providing seamless communication, reliable quality, secure high bandwidth connectivity, and useful services. The conference will concentrate on new research issues open in the "wireless Internet" context, including design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models and practical implementation. Sound experimental evaluation of new techniques will also be considered. The meeting will take place in one of the finest winter resorts of the Alps, Madonna di Campiglio, in the Trentino region. The cozy atmosphere of the conference hotel, facing one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Alps, will facilitate concentration and creativity. The schedule of the meeting will consist of presentations in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. A pause after lunch will allow social activities and informal interaction among the participants. Topics comprise, but are not limited to: - Wireless access to the Internet - Modelling and performance evaluation of wireless LANs - Quality of service and pricing ("charging for quality") - Traffic and user activity models - Service differentiation mechanisms - Virtual operators in WiFi networks - Pervasive / ubiquitous computing - Location and context-awareness - Wireless LANs design - Management, authentication, authorization and accounting - On-Demand, Ad-Hoc Networks ---------------------------------------------------------- Keynote speech: "Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Protocols and Applications" Mario Gerla, Computer Science Department, UCLA ---------------------------------------------------------- Conference Proceedings will be published by Springer in the series "Lecture Notes in Computer Science".

[Fwd: ARCS 2004 Call for papers (reminder)]
by Lars Wolf 08 Jul '03

08 Jul '03

Second Announcement and Call for Papers: ARCS 2004 17TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARCHITECTURE OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS - ORGANIC AND PERVASIVE COMPUTING - Augsburg, Germany March 23 - 26, 2004 http://www.uni-augsburg.de/arcs04 Submission Deadline: September 15, 2003 Future processors become smaller, provide higher performance and consume less power than today's devices. Such processors will spark off new applications in particular in the area of everyday consumer devices. Mobile telecommunication systems increase bandwidth and will yield highly connected, ubiquitous computing systems. System design and management complexity increase to a level where a new paradigm may provide help: Organic computing (also known as autonomic computing) borrows from analogies between complex technical and biological systems. It follows a human-centered approach by leveraging self-organization capabilities. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging organic and pervasive systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, the system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networking aspects of up-to-now unconnected devices is a challenging research topic. ARCS 2004 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 17th conference in the series serves as a forum to present current work on all aspects of computer and systems architecture. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general and interdisciplinary themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture. Papers pertaining to all aspects of computer and systems architecture, in particular in the field of organic and pervasive computing are sought, including but not limited to the following: Enabling Technologies and Infrastructure ·middleware for organic, pervasive and peer-to-peer computing ·operating systems ·multi-agent and mobile agent systems ·bio-analogue and artificial-life systems ·context and locality ·low power systems design ·machine-learning, prediction, pro-activity ·system design and simulation ·reconfigurable hardware and software systems ·safety, security, reliability ·self-managing service configuration ·user interfaces and human-machine interaction Architectures and Systems ·computer and system architecture ·modular distributed devices ·self-managing systems ·self-healing and fault-tolerant systems ·real-time systems ·mobile and wearable devices ·intelligently connected devices ·embedded systems (consumer electronics, automotive) Applications ·scenarios for ubiquitous and pervasive computing ·autonomic environments ·network server architectures ·network based applications ·mobile computing ·network computing (clusters and grids) ·semantic networks ·home and wireless networking ·e-learning The conference is organized by the special interest group on Computer and Systems Architecture of the GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik - German Informatics Society) and ITG (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft- Information Technology Society), supported by CEPIS and EUREL, and held in cooperation with IFIP, ACM (approvals requested) and IEEE (German section. In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the conference will offer invited presentations, workshops, and tutorials. The conference proceedings are planned to be published in the 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science' series by Springer-Verlag.
