This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Passive and Active Measurement, PAM 2005, held in Boston, MA, USA in March/April 2005. The 24 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on TCP measurements, application measurements, network inference and problem diagnosis, topology measurements, wireless network measurements, monitoring facilities, routing and traffic engineering measurements, and spectroscopy and bandwidth estimation.

Network monitoring serves as the basis for a wide scope of network, engineering and management operations. Precise network monitoring involves inspecting every packet traversing in a network. However, this is not feasible with future high-speed networks, due to significant overheads of processing, storing, and transferring measured data. Network Monitoring in High Speed Networks presents accurate measurement schemes from both traffic and performance perspectives, and introduces adaptive sampling techniques for various granularities of traffic measurement. The techniques allow monitoring systems to control the accuracy of estimations, and adapt sampling probability dynamically according to traffic conditions. The issues surrounding network delays for practical performance monitoring are discussed in the second part of this book. Case studies based on real operational network traces are provided throughout this book. Network Monitoring in High Speed Networks is designed as a secondary text or reference book for advanced-level students and researchers concentrating on computer science and electrical engineering. Professionals working within the networking industry will also find this book useful.

The 25 workshop revised papers included also were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on grid computing, peer-to-peer computing, Web techniques, cluster computing, parallel programming environments, network architecture, network security, network storage, intelligent sensor networks, and multimedia modeling and security in next generation network information systems.

Welcome to 1M 2003, the eighth in a series of the premier international technical conference in this field. As IT management has become mission critical to the economies of the developed world, our technical program has grown in relevance, strength and quality. Over the next few years, leading IT organizations will gradually move from identifying infrastructure problems to providing business services via automated, intelligent management systems. To be successful, these future management systems must provide global scalability, for instance, to support Grid computing and large numbers of pervasive devices. In Grid environments, organizations can pool desktops and servers, dynamically creating a virtual environment with huge processing power, and new management challenges. As the number, type, and criticality of devices connected to the Internet grows, new innovative solutions are required to address this unprecedented scale and management complexity. The growing penetration of technologies, such as WLANs, introduces new management challenges, particularly for performance and security. Management systems must also support the management of business processes and their supporting technology infrastructure as integrated entities. They will need to significantly reduce the amount of adventitious, bootless data thrown at consoles, delivering instead a cogent view of the system state, while leaving the handling of lower level events to self-managed, multifarious systems and devices. There is a new emphasis on "autonomic" computing, building systems that can perform routine tasks without administrator intervention and take prescient actions to rapidly recover from potential software or hardware failures.

The 1st International Conference on “Applied Cryptography and Network Se- rity” (ACNS 2003) was sponsored and organized by ICISA (International C- munications and Information Security Association), in cooperation with MiAn Pte. Ltd. and the Kunming government. It was held in Kunming, China in - tober 2003. The conference proceedings was published as Volume 2846 of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag. The conference received 191 submissions, from 24 countries and regions; 32 of these papers were accepted, representing 15 countries and regions (acceptance rate of 16.75%). In this volume you will ?nd the revised versions of the - cepted papers that were presented at the conference. In addition to the main track of presentations of accepted papers, an additional track was held in the conference where presentations of an industrial and technical nature were given. These presentations were also carefully selected from a large set of presentation proposals. This new international conference series is the result of the vision of Dr. Yongfei Han. The conference concentrates on current developments that advance the - eas of applied cryptography and its application to systems and network security. The goal is to represent both academic research works and developments in - dustrial and technical frontiers. We thank Dr. Han for initiating this conference and for serving as its General Chair.

Network Routing: Algorithms, Protocols, and Architectures, Second Edition, explores network routing and how it can be broadly categorized into Internet routing, circuit-switched routing, and telecommunication transport network routing. The book systematically considers these routing paradigms, as well as their interoperability, discussing how algorithms, protocols, analysis, and operational deployment impact these approaches and addressing both macro-state and micro-state in routing. Readers will learn about the evolution of network routing, the role of IP and E.164 addressing and traffic engineering in routing, the impact on router and switching architectures and their design, deployment of network routing protocols, and lessons learned from implementation and operational experience. Numerous real-world examples bring the material alive. - Extensive coverage of routing in the Internet, from protocols (such as OSPF, BGP), to traffic engineering, to security issues - A detailed coverage of various router and switch architectures, IP lookup and packet classification methods - A comprehensive treatment of circuit-switched routing and optical network routing - New topics such as software-defined networks, data center networks, multicast routing - Bridges the gap between theory and practice in routing, including the fine points of implementation and operational experience - Accessible to a wide audience due to its vendor-neutral approach

The Handbook of Algorithms for Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing focuses on several aspects of mobile computing, particularly algorithmic methods and distributed computing with mobile communications capability.
