British Computer Society (BCS) Performance Engineering Specialist Group . Institute of Electrical and Electronic (IEE) Engineers (U.K.) . EUROPEAN COMMISSION - IST and NoE Programmes . MOTOROLA (U.K.), ERICSSON (Hungary), . ALCATEL SEL AG - SIEMENS AG - VODAFONE - SOLINET TELECOMS GmbH (Germany) . 4PLUS Technologies SA - TELETEL TELECOMS & IT (Greece) .

School of Informatics, University of Bradford (U.K.) Monday 21st - Wednesday 23rd July, 2003 Craiglands Hotel*, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, U.K. (* The Craiglands is a delightful Victorian country hotel on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and near the famed Ilkley Moor.) Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and convergence of multi-service networks of diverse technology, such as IP, ATM, MPLS, D-WDM, IPO, WLL, xDSL, Metro-WDM, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN, Ad-hoc as well as GSM, GPRS, 3G UMTS mobile systems and all-optical networks. However, many interesting and important traffic engineering, technological and performance issues need to be addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale integrated broadband network infrastructure can be established for the efficient support of multimedia applications. These include the design and dimensioning of 3G and 4G networks with quality of service (QoS) quarantees and also the design and development of generic evaluation platforms capable of measuring the performance of heterogeneous networks, services inter-operability and applications. Moreover, robust quantitative methodologies are needed, such as those based on novel queueing network models, neural networks and stochastic Petri nets, leading to both credible and cost-effective approximations and algorithms for the performance prediction of heterogeneous networks. These powerful and realistic tools applied to the analysis of other types of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, transportation networks and flexible manufacturing systems, may also be, by analogy, of relevance. The aim of the First International Working Conference on Heterogeneous Networks (HET-NET '03) is to contribute to fundamental research in networks of diverse technology and internetworking issues and focus on their performance/reliability modelling and analysis. As in earlier performance modelling and evaluation ATM & IP events in Bradford and Ilkley, U.K., the Working Conference provides the friendly and informal atmosphere in which participants from all over the world exchange new concepts and ideas and discuss new operational solutions and research initiatives. In particular, delegates are encouraged to address . Traffic engineering and performance modelling aspects of existing and emerging 3G & 4G Internet technologies towards the convergence of telecommunications, networking and broadcasting. . Design and development of performance evaluation platforms for multi-services inter-operability and heterogeneous networks . Analytic and simulation methodologies for QNMs and SPNs with self similar and multi-fractal traffic models of long-range (LRD) versus short-range (SRD) dependence and their approximation, with tolerable accuracy, by simpler traffic processes. It is envisaged that HET-NETs '03 will make an effective contribution to both structuring research in the performance modelling field and spreading the excellence worldwide.

I would like to direct your attention to these workshops with this email. Please also note the deadline for submitting nominations for the SIGCOMM award Regards Andreas Terzis SIGCOMM Information Services Director infodir_sigcomm at acm.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGCOMM AWARD: The deadline for SIGCOMM award nominations is March 31st. For more information visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/award.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOPS in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany 25 and 27 August 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshops.html ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS This year, SIGCOMM is expanding its scope with significant new emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation in the following six workshops: FDNA Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture MoMeTools Models, Methods and Tools for Reproducible Network Research NetEd Networking Education: How to Educate the Educators? NICELI Network-I/O Convergence: Experience, Lessons, Implications NREDS Network Research: Exploration of Dimensions and Scope RIPQOS Revisiting IP QoS: Why do we care, what have we learned? Check the workshop web pages for definitive information; some dates are tentative. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture FDNA-03 -- Wed. 27 Aug. 2003 Paper submission deadline: 17 March 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/fdna The current Internet architecture has been remarkably successful as the underpinning of a global, general-purpose, decentralized data communication network. Architectural decisions made 30 years ago have allowed the Internet to quickly support new applications and adapt itself to dramatic changes in technology. Now, new forces - new classes of special-purpose networks and the changing requirements facing general purpose networks - argue that reflection on the current state of network architecture and consideration of new architectural principles, structures, and strategies is timely. FDNA-03 is a forum for presenting research results, promising directions, and rising challenges related to the broad topic of new developments in network architecture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Models, Methods and Tools for Reproducible Network Research MoMeTools -- Mon. 25 Aug. 2003 Full and position paper submission deadline: 4 May 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools of network research for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for network research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Networking Education: How to Educate the Educators? NetEd -- Mon. 25 Aug. 2003 White papers and poster submission deadline: 2 July 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/neted This second ACM SIGCOMM-sponsored workshop devoted to the topic of networking education will bring together faculty from a broad spectrum of colleges and universities, industry engineers and scientists, and others with an interest in education to discuss curriculum design and teaching practices in the field of computer networks. The workshop will give both new and experienced educators an opportunity to share their views and experiences on the do's and don'ts of networking education, including content, teaching techniques and teaching paradigms. The discussion topics are undergraduate and graduate curriculum, tips for new networking educators, hands-on projects in networking courses, and a comparison and discussion of networking education around the globe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Network-I/O Convergence: Experience, Lessons, Implications NICELI -- Wed. 27 Aug. 2003 Full and position paper deadline: 17 March 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/niceli The performance and commodity price advantages of modern LANs have created a convergence of networks and I/O. This convergence promises both price efficiencies and true interoperability, for storage and for cluster interconnect. The NICELI workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the merits, drawbacks, applications, and practical implications of protocol and implementation designs. Approaches based on Internet protocols are of particular interest. NICELI is a forum for research results, protocol design rationales, significant implementation experience, and architectural papers related to the convergence of networks and interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Network Research: Exploration of Dimensions and Scope NREDS -- Mon. 25 Aug. 2003 Position paper submission deadline: 7 April 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/nreds Two years ago, the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board took a first exploratory examination of what the field of networking research might become in Looking Over the Fence at Networks: A Neighbor's View of Networking Research. This workshop is intended to be the next step in that process, beginning to take a more organized look. Not only is it valuable to consider specific directions that research might move, but we also expect to explore "meta-level" issues, such as the nature of our field, how it relates to others and how we evaluate new research. Participation in this workshop will be by invitation based heavily on position papers. Participation will be largely through discussion on selected topics. The final report of the workshop will be published in CCR. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Revisiting IP QoS: Why do we care, what have we learned? RIPQOS -- Wed. 27 Aug. 2003 Paper submission deadline: 31 March 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/ripqos/ripqos.html For over a decade the Internet engineering and research community has debated, designed, and ignored IP Quality of Service tools and techniques. There's a sense that something might be needed, but little agreement on why and who will pay. At times the very notion of QoS has seemed to be a pointless waste of time, almost a solution waiting for a problem. This workshop is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss the history of IP QoS research and development, review what could have been done better, and perhaps develop a new focus going forward.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers: Mobile Distributed Information Systems on HICSS37 Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2003 15:19:10 +0100 (MET) From: mdis(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de To: hicss(a)ipsi.fhg.de CfP: HICSS-37 Minitrack on Mobile Distributed Information Systems [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS HICSS-37 Minitrack on MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS Part of the Software Technology Track at the Thirty-seventh Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES on the Big Island of Hawaii January 5 - 8, 2004 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: March 31, 2003 Full Papers due: June 1, 2003 Website: http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss ===================================================================== In today's mobile society, access to relevant information and to context- specific services "anytime, anywhere" is becoming increasingly important. Mobile users are often particularly interested in information about and services in their immediate vicinity, thus Mobile Distributed Information Systems must address location-dependent distribution of and access to services and information from mobile devices. In addition to location, other environmental aspects, such as the user's current situation, topology and available bandwidth of wireless networks, battery power and characteristics of mobile devices, are also relevant for determining information and service requirements. For mobile applications, a dynamic re-configurable architecture is thus required to support flexible reaction to changing contexts and seamless operation in foreign environments, with little or no need for manual reconfiguration. With mobile devices becoming more and more popular and powerful, communication and cooperation between mobile users in an ad-hoc manner are strongly desired. Consequently, the long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred, which calls for an extension of the architectural paradigm towards peers or alternating roles. This Minitrack will address current topics in the field of Mobile Distributed Information Systems, such as: - Location and Situation Aware Information Services: Modeling, Architectures and Applications - Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information - Mobile Ad-hoc Networking and Computing - Provision, Distribution and Management of Services for Mobile Environments - Directory Services, Service Discovery and Service Brokers - Middleware for Mobile Distributed Information Systems - Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Applications - Peer-to-Peer Computing and Cooperation: Scenarios, Platforms and Applications - Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration for Mobile Users - Mobile Multimedia Systems, QoS for Mobile Information Access - Management of Groups of Mobile Users - Mobile Devices: GUIs, Usability and Adaptability - Location Tracking Technologies - Security, Privacy and Billing Issues for Mobile Information and Service Access - Applications and Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems MINITRACK CHAIRS Andreas Meissner Zhou Wang Lars Wolf Fraunhofer IPSI Fraunhofer IPSI TU Braunschweig Dolivostrasse 15 Dolivostrasse 15 Mühlenpfordtstraße 23 64293 Darmstadt 64293 Darmstadt 38106 Braunschweig Germany Germany Germany {Andreas.Meissner, Zhou.Wang}(a)ipsi.fhg.de wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de The Minitrack Website is http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Please email general inquiries to hicss(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de MINITRACK PROGRAM COMMITTEE Heribert Baldus, Philips Research, Germany Andrew T.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Network Models, Methods, Tools (MoMeTools), Karlsruhe Germany, Aug. 2003 Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:03:49 -0500 From: SIGCOMM 2003 <jpgs(a)acm.org> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools) http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools Workshop in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany 25 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emulation, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for network research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: o Reproducibility of experimental network research o Investigation of scaling effects o Common code basis for simulation and implementation o Mathematical methods for error assessment o Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes o Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments o Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations o Benchmarking and measurement techniques o Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools o Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: o Full papers. o Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics. o Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Submissions should be in PDF or Postscript form, not anonymized, but following the formatting guidelines for ACM SIGCOMM papers. See http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools for full submission requirements in the near future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de .

Februar 2003 10:40 From: Eduardo Tovar <emt(a)DEI.ISEP.IPP.PT> To: CABERNET-EVENTS(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers ======================================================= 2nd Intl WORKSHOP ON REAL-TIME LANS IN THE INTERNET AGE ======================================================= Polytechnic Institute of Porto, Portugal July 1, 2003 http://www.hurray.isep.ipp.pt/rtlia2003/ in conjunction with the 15th Euromicro Intl Conference on Real-Time Systems Porto, Portugal July 2-4, 2003 http://www.hurray.isep.ipp.pt/ecrts03/ The Euromicro Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems organises a number of satellite events attached to its 15th International Real-Time Systems Conference. After the enormous success of last year's edition (http://www.hurray.isep.ipp.pt/rtlia2002/), we are proud to announce the 2nd International Workshop on Real-Time LANs in the Internet Age (RTLIA03). One of the main technological challenges today is on developing communication infrastructures that are real-time, reliable, pervasive, interoperable and capable of accommodating the requirements imposed by new applications and services. There are several research directions. For instance, Networked Embedded Systems pose a number of new challenging issues in terms of real-time, robustness, flexibility and dependability. The rapid development of new work methods and collaborative work environments has also determined an increasing request for interoperable mobile, wireless technologies and the convergence of fixed and mobile communication infrastructures. Future computer systems will be intimately tied to real-time computing and to communication technologies. Ubiquitous computing networks combining sensors and actuators with computing and communication systems will be used to mitigate the impact of a given disaster on people and their environments. These networks will support the exchange of sensitive real-time information to be used for intelligent assistance to decision-making, rapid planning, resource allocation, incident command response, first-aid. In Factory Communication Systems, existing solutions will be improved in order to comply with the need of providing not only real-time guarantees to control traffic but also adequate bandwidth to multimedia traffic in a flexible way. New frontiers for real-time Ethernet, in terms of both technological challenges and application areas (e.g. mission critical systems), are going to be investigated. The goal of this workshop is to bring together people from industry and academia that are interested in all aspects of using commodity LAN technologies to support real-time and dependable applications in the Internet Era. The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in this area. The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage discussion by the attendees. Prospective authors are encouraged to address real-time, QoS and dependability issues of the following topics: - LAN Technologies: industrial Ethernet, fieldbus networks, Myrinet, etc. - Control methods for communication over LAN networks - Wireless sensor networks - IPV6 networking - Wired or wireless communication in intelligent buildings - Ubiquitous computing for disaster response, mitigation and recovery - Interoperability between LANs and PANs and between LANs and WANs - Interoperability between hybrid wired/wireless networks - Communication Technologies for e-Activities: e-health, e- monitoring.etc. - Support of IP-based applications - Multimedia communication - Networked embedded systems - Evaluation and case studies - Tools - Industry experience reports Statements which are innovative, controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: People who would like to participate in this event are asked to submit a pdf or postscript version of a 2 page extended abstract to the workshop chairperson (Lucia.LoBello(a)diit.unict.it). The papers will be reviewed by an internal committee. Upon acceptance, a final paper of maximum 4 pages should be then be prepared and submitted. All papers will be made available to all participants a week before the workshop so that contributions can be examined prior to the workshop. The workshop sessions will involve 5-10 minute presentations followed by a 20-25 minute discussion. Authors will be asked to produce a final version of their paper that includes the issues covered in the discussions by 20 July, 2003. The final papers will be published by the Polytechnic Institute of Porto. To foster the workshop character the number of participants will be limited to 30. There will be a small charge for workshop registration. The workshop will be held at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto in the 1st July 2003.
