Hi,

There appears to be a hole in the proof of the delay bound in the paper that I posted recently. As written, the proof does not handle a general topology case as I had previously thought. Thanks to Jim Roberts of France Telecom for pointing it out.

At the moment it is not clear (at least to me) whether the bound itself is incorrect for a general network, or it is the proof  that needs to be fixed.  What is clear is that the bound for a general topology is at least as bad as shown in the paper - but at the moment there is a possibility that it can actually be worse for some topologies.

Any insights or comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anna

CALL FOR PAPERS
1st IEEE European Conference on Universal Multiservice Networks
ECUMN'2000
IP Networks Versus Conventional Switched Networks
October 2-4, 2000 - CREF, Colmar, France

URL: http://iutsun1.colmar.uha.fr/ECUMN2000.html

Conference Scope:

This conference follows the two successful ATM conferences events held in
Colmar, France in 1998 and 1999. The conference scope has been extended to
deal with the different topics related to Multiservice Network
Architectures, and Implementation, including among others, protocols,
signaling, traffic flow, addressing schemes, …

Fundamental questions still have to find an answer, such as:

How will the Internet, symbol of freedom, compete with the world of
traditional carrier networks or cooperate with it? 
Will alternate Technologies be needed to meet high level quality of service
requirements ?
What restrictions, if any, will result on the desired degree of freedom ?

Emphasis shall be put upon network convergence, including fixed/mobile
convergence  satisfying the needs of person to person communications, as
well as  Information and Entertainment applications.

The scope of ECUMN'2000 encompasses but is not limited to:

Evolution of Telecommunication Networks Architecture:
	*	Core network
	*	Access networks
	*	CPN (Customer Premise Networks including home networks)
	*	Multiservice mobile networks
	*	Interoperability issues, Interfaces and Reference points
Packet, frame and cell protocols:
	*	Addressing
	*	Multicasting
	*	Switching and routing
	*	Signaling
	*	Traffic control and QoS
Network management and control:
	*	Network design - Migration strategies
	*	Active networks versus Intelligent networks
Service impact (multimedia, VPN, ...) on network architecture:
	*	Fixed-Mobile Convergence
	*	Packetized voice
	*	Experimentation and fields trials

With such a variety of problems to be solved, and such high economical
interests at stake there is a definite interest to exchange ideas,
technical results and proposals, between the academic and industrial
communities and this is the major goal of the conference.

                       Workshop on
        ‘Situated Interaction in Ubiquitous Computing’
              (http://www.teco.edu/chi2000ws/)
      at CHI 2000, April 3, 2000, The Hague, Netherlands
                 (http://www.acm.org/chi2000)


Workshop Proceedings to be published by Springer as Special Issue
of Journal "Personal Technologies" (http://www.csm.uwe.ac.uk/cpim/PeTe.html)


IMPORTANT DATES

28 January 2000	Extended Abstracts and Position papers must be received
4 February 2000	Notification to authors
3 April 2000	Workshop at CHI2000


OVERVIEW

This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners who are
concerned with design, development, and implementation of novel interfaces
for mobile devices and environment-based appliances.

The availability of sensing technology provides the opportunity to include
information about the situation of use as well as the surrounding
environment (e.g. location, proximity, physical conditions, social setting,
context, etc.) in human computer interaction. Situated interaction is
especially attractive for mobile devices that are used while on the move
e.g.

- PDAs
- wearable computers
- smart mobile phones,

and for shared appliances in common spaces, e.g.

- city information systems,
- ticket machines,
- self-service check-in counters.

The main goal of the workshop is to develop an understanding of how the
situation of use influences the interaction process.


TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE:

* Adaptation of input and output modalities to the situation of use
* New interaction metaphors that include situation and context
* Design rules and principles for context-aware systems and user interfaces
* Design methodologies for developing situation-aware user interfaces
* User-centered approaches to the design of situation-aware systems and
interfaces
* User models that help predict the behavior of users of situation-aware
systems
* Studies of adaptive and situation-aware user interfaces
* Mechanisms and technologies for extracting, interpreting and using context
information
* Adaptation strategies that help to reduce the need for input or output
* Strategies for choosing interruption time and mode appropriate to the
situation
* Interfaces for mobile devices that make use of information about the
environment and the user's situation
* User interface agents and active user interfaces
* The use of situation and context in CSCW and groupware
* Adaptive interfaces for users with disabilities
* Adaptive multimodal user interfaces



SUBMISSION DETAILS

We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in academia,
industry, government, and consulting. Authors are invited to submit an
extended abstract (about 2000 words) describing original work in one or
more of the areas listed above, or a position paper (about one page)
highlighting the authors' interests. Please be specific about the status
of the work and why you believe it should be of interest to the workshop
audience. Submissions should be mailed in PDF or postscript format to
Albrecht Schmidt (albrecht@teco.edu) at the University of Karlsruhe by
the end of the day on 28 February 2000.

All submissions will be reviewed and some of the submitters will be invited
to present their ideas at the workshop. Participants will be selected based
on the quality of the work and its likelihood to spur interesting
discussion.
Authors of accepted extended abstracts will be asked to present their work
at
the workshop.


PUBLICATION

The results of this workshop will be published in a special issue of the
Springer Journal ‘Personal Technologies’
(http://www.csm.uwe.ac.uk/cpim/PeTe.html).
Following the workshop all authors of extended abstracts will be invited to
resubmit their abstracts as short papers to be reviewed for inclusion in
this
special issue. The review committee will consist of 10 recognized leaders of
the
HCI community and related fields.


WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION

The workshop will last one full day and will be limited to 20 participants.
Accepted submissions will be made available online prior to the workshop and
will also be distributed during the workshop.
The workshop will consist of two parts. During the first part participants
will
present current research, while the second part is reserved for discussion.
A set of possible discussion topics will be generated in advance from a
questionnaire
that will be sent to each participant prior to the workshop.

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

This workshop will take stock of the progress that the QBone
initiative has made toward realizing Internet2 QoS goals,
characterize the challenges that lay ahead, and increase
understanding of how recent QoS research and standards work might
be leveraged to accelerate the development of production QoS
services throughout Internet2 and the emerging next generation
internet (NGI) infrastructure.

It is expected that there will be strong representation from
campus network planners, advanced applications developers, chief
information officers (CIOs), gigaPoP planners, US federal mission
networks, NGI investigators, and members of the network research
community.

A program committee chaired by John Wroclawski (MIT) is building
the technical program in cooperation with the Internet2 QoS
Working Group. Suggestions for speakers, panels, or BOFs are
encouraged and should be made to the chair.

                             Workshop
      2000

Background & Goals

     Since May 1998, the Internet2 project has focused on a
     QoS strategy that builds upon the work of the IETF
     differentiated services architecture (DiffServ) to
     engineer scalable interdomain QoS services in support of
     QoS-needy Internet2 applications. In November 1998, the
     QBone initiative was launched to develop and deploy an
     architecture for exploring the engineering and science
     of new IP network services in the context of an
     interdomain testbed that makes new QoS services
     incrementally available to the developers and users of
     advanced applications. This workshop will take stock of
     the progress that has been made toward realizing the
     QBone, characterize the challenges that lay ahead, and
     understand how recent QoS research and standards work
     might be leveraged to accelerate the development of
     production QoS services throughout Internet2.

     The Internet2 QoS Working Group outlined QoS
     requirements for the project in May 1998 that remain as
     valid today as they were then. Foremost among these are:
     1) relevance towards meeting the needs of advanced
     applications; 2) scalability to high forwarding rates,
     large numbers of QoS-enabled flows, and large numbers of
     hosts/users (administrative scalability); 3)
     interoperability between heterogeneous network clouds
     and between individual network elements from multiple
     vendors. The IETF DiffServ architecture offers a basis
     for meeting these requirements, while leaving many
     design questions for the individual network or user. The
     contribution of the QBone is to explore a design space
     empirically within the Internet2 environment that
     includes such questions as:

        * Which services are most useful to which
          classes of application and can those services
          be provided within the current architectural
          model?
        * Are more sophisticated per-hop behaviors
          (PHBs) or edge conditioning devices required?
        * What are the best techniques and technologies
          for engineering DiffServ
          campus/gigaPoP/backbone networks?
        * What are the obstacles to deploying  new,
          advanced IP QoS services across independently
          administered Internet2 and NGI networks.
        * What is an appropriate signaling model for
          establishing end-to-end interdomain
          reservations? And, is it useful to have more
          than one--for example, to support both
          signaled long-term contracts and signalled
          on-demand spot reservations?
        * How should the network and/or applications be
          instrumented to provide the measurements
          necessary to debug, audit, and analyze the
          performance of new DiffServ services?

     These and other issues are being investigated by network
     planners, engineers, and researchers in the context of
     the QBone initiative and in the IETF. In the first year
     of the QBone, significant progress has been made in many
     areas. In others, however, there remain many hard
     problems.

     It is an explicit goal of this workshop to communicate
     the experiences and insights of those who have been
     directly involved to those who are potential customers
     of QoS technology, researchers and developers working in
     related areas, and network planners, administrators, and
     strategists.

     Specifically, it is hoped that there be strong
     representation from: campus network planners, advanced
     applications developers, chief information officers
     (CIOs), gigaPoP planners, US federal mission networks,
     NGI investigators, and members of the network research
     community. Each of these groups has a distinct and
     valuable perspective to offer.

     Proposals for presentations or panels should be
     submitted to the program committee no later than
     December 22, 1999. Potential topics of interest include:

        * Progress reports on the design and specification
          of:
             o QBone Architecture;
             o QBone Measurement Architecture;
             o QBone Bandwidth Broker Trials;
        * Experience reports from network engineers
          implementing the QBone architecture in different
          environments;
        * Related QoS testbed projects and efforts to assure
          interoperability between them;
        * Experience reports from applications developers and
          users who have begun to evaluate the performance of
          new QBone services in the context of specific
          application needs;
        * Design and development reports from the
          implementors of new QoS network management tools
          (i.e. bandwidth brokers);
        * Surveys of relevant standards activities;
        * Reports on relevant recent networking research;
        * Short "outrageous opinions" statements ;

Hi I will respond.
Commenst ?

Lasse w.

Hi!
As other has mentioned that a simpler problem definition might give
a simpler solution. 

The network I consider will 1) tunnel end-user traffic and 2) transport traffic 
which is generated by GW;s at the edges. The host might use RSVP to 
request resources but the tunneling/GW network in this case is an edge-to-edge 
network. The edge is defined by the GW:s and the edge-routers.
My question is related to this network.

In some of the wireless network we have significantly more voice traffic that in 
the people forecasts in future Internet backbone. In our traffic profile we 
could have 70-90% speech traffic. This one of our issues that 
I need to solve. It can treated as a problem for some network 
categories, but it is an very important in our case.

From my perspective I consider this as the simpler problem than 
end-to-end reservation.

I am new in the area and I trying to find solutions for this problem.

What would you recommend ?

- Lasse
