Service and network providers must be able to satisfy the demands for
new services, improve the quality of service, reduce the cost of network
service operations and maintenance, control performance and adapt to
user demands. These challenges are so important for the future of our
communication environment that it is essential to investigate different
approaches for controlling and optimizing network resources.
Network Control and Engineering for QoS, Security and Mobility II
addresses the problem of network control and engineering with a focus on
control of quality of service, management of security, and supervision
of mobility. New trends in these different fields are also investigated.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International
Conference on NETwork CONtrol and Engineering (NETCON) for Quality of
Service, Security and Mobility, which convened in Oman in October 2003.
The conference was sponsored by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) and organized by IFIP's Working Groups 6.2
on Network and Internetwork Architecture, 6.6 on Network Management, and
6.7 on Smart Networks.
