Folks-

I tried to forward this to end2end a couple of weeks ago, but apparently
it never made it.  If this is a repeat (from e2e? or any of the other
N places I posted it) I appologize, but I figured folks on this list
may be interested in the new effort.

There is considerable network measurement work being conducted within the
Internet community -- both in standards bodies (e.g., IETF IPPM WG) and
in various research labs. The goal of the Internet Measurement Research
Group (IMRG) is to provide a venue to: (1) provide a forum for discussion

[e2e] papers on Cooperative Networking (CoopNet) available

I'd like to announce the availability of a couple of papers on the
Cooperative Networking (CoopNet) project at MSR. The project focuses on
the selective application of peer-to-peer networking to complement the
client-server Web. The specific problem we have focused on thus far is
flash crowds, both in the context of (static) Web content and streaming
media content. In the latter case, CoopNet provides robustness in the
face of high client churn rate, by combining the data redundancy
provided by multiple description coding (MDC) with the path redundancy
provided by multiple, diverse application-level multicast trees spanning
the set of active clients.

The abstracts of the papers are appended below. The papers themselves
are available online at

[e2e] Final Call for Participation at Mobicom 2002

Dear Colleagues,

Mobicom 2002 will be hold here at Atlanta Sept 23-28.

Mobicom 2002 is the 8th annual conference sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
dedicated to addressing new challenges in mobile computing and
networking.

The upcoming conference will include high-quality papers, and a
comprehensive tutorial program on key topics in mobile
computing and networking. The complete coference program can be found at
http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobicom/2002/

Hope to see you at the conference.

[e2e] OPENARCH 2003 Call For Papers

Below is the preliminary call for papers for IEEE OPENARCH 2003. Our
apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sixth IEEE Conference on Open Architectures and Network Programming
                     (Co-Located with INFOCOM 2003)
                            April 4-5, 2003
                           San Francisco, CA
                    Evolving Future Network Services
                            Call for Papers

The Sixth IEEE Conference on Open Architectures and Network
Programming (OPENARCH) will focus software and hardware technologies
required to facilitate the evolution of the Internet to better support
new services.  OPENARCH is an international forum with a single-track
format that provides researchers and developers with a focused, highly
interactive opportunity to present and discuss current work and future
directions in network services, and in open, programmable network
architectures.

Open and programmable networking is driven by the desire to allow the
Internet to continue its rapid evolution whilst becoming the commercial
network infrastructure of choice.  However, over the last decade
technological advances have led the network infrastructure to become
more complex rather than less (multiple technologies, protocols and
topological layers), obstructing the introduction of new network
services. Over the last few years the open and programmable networking
community has redefined the basic architecture of networking systems
and has blurred the distinctions between routers and end-systems. At

[e2e] OPENSIG 2002 Workshop

[Ob. apologies for multiple copies -- KC]

			CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

			OPENSIG 2002 Workshop
			 October 17-18, 2002

		   "From Signaling to Programming"

			University of Kentucky
		       Lexington, Kentucky, USA

	     http://protocols.netlab.uky.edu/opensig2002/

OPENSIG promotes the development of new network architectures and
services through open signaling and programmability. The OPENSIG
community offers a forum for the communication of experimental and
theoretical results aimed at a better understanding of the issues
involved in flexible, programmable network architecture, and the
evolution of existing infrastructure in that direction.

This year's theme is "From Signaling to Programming".  The aim is to
highlight the range of evolution options emerging from research,
especially those that may form the basis of an integrated next
generation network.  The workshop is being organized by the Laboratory
for Advanced Networking and the Department of Computer Science at the
University of Kentucky.
