   US Air Force Research Laboratory/Information Directorate and
   supported by the European Office of Aerospace Research and
   Development USAF, Office of Naval Research Global, and
   Russian Foundation of Basic Research were very successful.
   These workshops demonstrated the high interest of the
   international scientific community to the theoretical aspects
   of the computer network and information security and the need
   for conducting of such workshops as on-going series.
   The proposed MMM-ACNS-2005 Workshop is intended as a third
   step in this series and will be focused on theoretical
   problems in the area under consideration. Its objectives are
   to bring together leading researchers from academia and
   governmental organizations as well as practitioners in the
   area of computer networks and information security,
   facilitating personal interactions and discussions on various
   aspects of information technologies in conjunction with
   computer network and information security problems arising in
   large-scale computer networks engaged in information storing,
   transmitting, and processing.

Topics of interest: 

   Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of
   the theoretical aspects of the computer network and
   information security are solicited for submission. Papers may

   participants in housing and cultural programs. It is possible
   to make reservations at reasonable price in hotels in St.
   Petersburg downtown area from $75 per night (single room),
   and from $85 per night (double room). Also reservations in
   better and more expensive hotels at $130 - $400 per night can
   be offered (hotels like Astoria, Europe, Nevsky Palace,
   etc.).
