The IEEE International Symposium on Network Computing and Applications
is seeking articles concerning fundamental

research and practical experience reports. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

- High Speed Networks/Protocols and Middleware - System Area Networks
(SAN)/Clusters

- Routing Mechanisms - Performance Modeling/Quality of Services (QoS)
Issues

- Overlay Networks/Peer-to-Peer Systems - Web Caching and Switching

- Local and Wide-Area Networking Protocols - Network Processors

- Mobile-Ad-Hoc-Networks (MANET) - Sensor Networks

- Network Security - Intrusion-Tolerant Systems

- Dependable Wide, Local, and System Area Networks - Scalable and
Dependable Servers

- Protocol Veri_cation and Validation - Middleware for Dependable
Network Computing

- Computation-intensive Applications in Networked Systems - Programming
Environments for Distributed Systems

- Practical Experiences and Prototypes - e-Commerce

The IEEE International Symposium NCA06 is organizing the following
workshops:

Trustworthy Network Computing - July 24, 2006
- Methods for assessing tradeoffs in trustworthy system design, e.g.
security and performance tradeoffs
- Composition/decomposition methods for designing trustworthy systems
- How can untrustworthy computing platforms be composed to perform
secure or trustworthy multiparty computations?
- Seamless and virtual capabilities to achieve dynamic reconfiguration,
self-healing, and non-stop operation

Adaptive Grid Computing - July 25, 2006
- Dynamically forming virtual organizations
- Adaptive infrastructure for Grid computing
- Grid-enabled Ganglia for monitoring network-centric systems
- Dynamic reconfiguration in the presence of anomalies in the
computational Grid
