                     ======================================

Networking 2005 serves as a forum for engineers and scientists from
around the world to present their latest research findings in the fields
of computer networks and data communications.  Networking 2005 includes
a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, panels, tutorials, and
workshops.  The five-day program starts with cutting-edge tutorials on a
range of hot topics, including sensor and ad hoc networks,
delay-tolerant networks, optical networking, and quality of service.
Throughout the week there will be keynote talks by research and industry
leaders, including Peter Carbone, Vice President of Next-Generation
Architectures, Networks and Technology at Nortel Networks.  Panels will
cover issues of immediate relevance to both industry and research alike,
including cross-layer design issues.  The week will be rounded out with
a series of workshops on critical issues on networking today, including
problems of rapid configuration, modeling, and middleware.

The Fourth IFIP Conference on Networking will be held at the University
of Waterloo, in Waterloo, Ontario.  About 60 miles south-west of
Toronto, Waterloo is situated near the Grand River, in the heart of
South-West Ontario.

Waterloo has a large concentration of world-leading high-technology
companies, including Research in Motion, maker of the blackberry, Sybase
iAnywhere, Open Text, as well as two universities.

While visiting Waterloo, you may wish to take the opportunity to go
canoing on the Grand river (http://www.canoeingthegrand.com/).  Waterloo
is a short drive from the internationally renown Stratford Festival
(http://www.stratford-festival.on.ca/), and less than 2 hours drive from
Niagara Falls (http://www.city.niagarafalls.on.ca/).

Pearson International Airport, less than an hour away, provides easy
access for our worldwide participants.
