Dear All

Re: CFP - International Workshop on Context Aware Networks Technologies and Applications (CANET'05) - deadline for paper submission* 30th April 2005*

This is a kind reminder. The deadline for submission is coming up very soon. Please find enclosed the CfP for a workshop that is particularly relevant to the of E-Next WG5. This is an excellent opportunity to present your work in this area and I am counting on you to receive many good submissions from E-NEXT members to make CANET05 a success.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ CfP - Call for Papers ===================== International Workshop on Context Aware Networks Technologies and Applications (CANET'05) Held in conjunction with MATA'05 and INTELLCOMM'05, October 17-19, 2005, Montreal Canada

MATA'05: 2nd International Conference on Mobility Aware Technologies and Applications (Formerly Mobile Agents for Telecommunication Applications);_ www.congresbcu.com/mata2005/ _INTELLICOMM'05: The 2005 IFIP International Conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems; www.congresbcu.com/intellcomm2005/

*SCOPE *Context-aware networking enables new types of applications and services in ambient environments. These applications can help users react positively to unexpected events such as emergency situations, acquire value-added services, receive messages in the most useful and suitable manner, or obtain compensation when planned activities are changed or delayed. Exploiting network-related context information can make mobile communication networks simpler, more efficient, and more powerful. For instance, mobility management can benefit from context information about the current position and direction of a vehicle, which could be provided by a navigation system connected to a vehicular area network, and information about wireless access possibilities in the then-known geographical area to improve its handover operations. Other examples are delaying the transmission of an email over an expensive connection when context information predicts the availability of a cheap hot-spot connection to be reached in the near future. This view of context management differs from the traditional focus on user preferences regarding applications and services; it rather takes a network-centric view: Protocols, not applications, adapt themselves based on context information. The aim of the workshop is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers, software and application developers, and computer network technologists to discuss new developments on the context aware mobile and ambient networks technologies and applications. *Relevant topics* Papers describing original research, surveys and applications in the following areas are solicited: * Context aware platforms and architecture for Ambient Networks. * Context in Grids systems and architectures. * Context Ontologies for Grids. * Context Identification, Retrieval and Management in Services and Networks * Provisioning, Maintenance and Management of Quality of Context. * Context Ontologies for Ambient Networks. * Context in Peer-to-Peer Networks and Services * Context in Autonomic Communications. * Context aware Self- adapting, Self-configurable, Self-Management Networks and Grids. * Autonomic Context aware communications and systems management. * Programmable Context aware Networks and Services. * Security, Trust and Privacy in Context sensitive Communications. * Context in Content Oriented Network & Service Management. * Context in Sensors Networks and Services. * Implementation and experiences with context aware networking infrastructure and components * * *Type of papers* * Full papers of up to 10 single-spaced pages including figures, tables, references and annexes * Position / work in progress papers of up to 2 pages * * *Submission procedure *CANET'05 is using MATA'05 submission procedure at: _http://www.congresbcu.com/mata2005/en/call_for_papers.htm _Please follow the guidelines and Select the TOPIC:" Ambient Networks -CANET05 papers".

*Evaluation Process and Proceedings Publication *All papers are going to be reviewed by the scientific committee. The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Computer Science series. Submissions should follow the LNCS style* (www.springeronline.com*).
