* Advance Regsitration Deadline:
************************************************************************
The increasing complexity of integrating, deploying and managing computing
systems is beginning to overwhelm the capabilities of software developers
and system administrators. The only viable long-term solution is to create
computer systems that manage themselves in accordance with high-level
guidance from humans a vision that is sometimes referred to as autonomic
computing. Meeting the grand challenge of autonomic computing requires
scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, and new
architectures that support effective integration of the constituent
technologies.
The purpose of the International Conference on Autonomic Computing is to
bring together researchers in diverse fields who are addressing important
aspects of self-management in computing systems. In so doing, we hope to
establish a unified community that can work together to realize the
ultimate vision of large-scale self-managing systems.
We have assembled a two-day program that includes 31 full-paper
presentations and a comparable number of posters, as well as keynote talks
by Professors Armando Fox (Stanford University) and Nick Jennings
(Southampton University), world authorities on multi-agent systems and
self-healing systems, respectively. The conference will conclude with a
panel moderated by Ken Birman of Cornell University, in which architects
from Hewlett Packard, IBM and Microsoft will debate the vision for self-
managing systems that is being espoused by each of their companies, with a
view towards extracting from this discussion a grounded set of challenges
that can be posed to the research community.
Two half-day tutorials will be offered on the day before the conference
begins. Presented by leading researchers in the field, one tutorial will
focus on autonomic grid computing, while the other tutorial will explore
research challenges of autonomic computing from an industry perspective.
We invite you to participate in this conference, and to take part in the
emergence of a new and vital field of endeavor.

The Access Grid (AG) Retreat 2004 will be held June 9-11 in Toronto,
Canada. This year's meeting will be hosted by Ryerson University in their
Rogers Communication Center, an ideal venue for collaboration and interaction.
The Access Grid is an ensemble of resources including multimedia
large-format displays, presentation and interactive environments, and
interfaces to Grid middleware and to visualization environments. These
resources are used to support group-to-group interactions across the
Grid. For example, the AG is used for large-scale distributed meetings,
collaborative work sessions, seminars, lectures, tutorials, and
training. The Access Grid began as a community effort in terms of
development, support, education, and training and it continues to grow as a
result of this approach. The AG Retreats, an annual tradition, reflect
this community involvement and are critical to the continued development,
utility, and improvement of the AG.
The AG Retreat program provides an interactive forum for Access Grid
community including developers, node operators and users. The following
topics represent priority issues for the Access Grid Retreat 2004 program:
Outreach to View Communities
Existing community presentations on:
-Improving the AG
-How is the AG used?
-Requirements from Diverse Communities
Examples of Shared Apps, Services
Ideas for External Services� Communities/Regional Activity Reports
Technology Talks- pyGlobus, etc.
-Networking
-Multicast
-SSM
-IPv6 Services Support
Security Issues
-Firewall configuration
-Certificate Authority Innovations
The Access Grid Retreat is an opportunity for the AG community to share
recent experiences and research findings, to present ideas for future AG
technical directions, and to train and educate AG newcomers. Participants
depend on the AG Retreats for critical updates on topics ranging from AG
collaboration experiences to node installation and troubleshooting to AG
development directions.

CONFERENCE VENUE:
---------------------------------
The conference is organized in the capitol city of Hungary,
Budapest, which actually consists of two parts, Buda and Pest,
separated by the Danube River. Each side is unique in itself
but complementary to the other. To the city's west is hilly
Buda vaunting an enchanting Historic District at its heart.
To the east is the vast and relatively flat Pest, imbued
with an historic pride rooted in trade and commerce.
To truly experience Buda is to walk the historic streets.
The city's Medieval, Baroque and Classical flourishes, the
various monuments - damaged during World War II - have been
meticulously restored. Pest, thanks to its level terrain
and spacious area, is home to numerous museums that house
the nation's greatest art and historical collections. Add
to this Pest's somewhat cutting edge interest in the arts,
and you have an exciting and oh, so contemporary, city -
a superb complement to her more old fashioned partner Buda,
just across the Danube.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 1st IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems
(MASS-2004)
(SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO: APRIL 22)
October 25-27, 2004, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA
http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~cdmc/mass
Sponsored by IEEE TC on Distributed Processing and IEEE TC on Simulation
************************************************************************
Researches on wireless networks and mobile computing research has until
recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating
directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular or satellite systems. Ad-hoc and
sensor networks cover multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network
nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios.
This conference covers the area of ad-hoc and sensor systems, from physical issues up to
applications aspects.
Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks (801.11, Bluetooth, etc)
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast, etc)
- Power-aware and energy-efficient design
- QoS, security, and fault-tolerant issues
- Location and mobility management
- Topology construction and coverage maintenance
- Distributed Algorithms (self-configuration, scheduling,synchronization, etc)
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination
- Operating system and middleware support
- Complexity analysis of algorithms
- Analytical, mobility, and validation models
- Applications of ad-hoc and sensor networks
