06 Jul '01

Dear all, A web page with a list of networking conferences, and statistics thereof, is being established and maintained by Kevin Almeroth. See email below. May I advise every TC6/WG chairman to collect statistics about his WG conferences and send the information to Kevin. IFIP conferences should appear in this list too ... All the best, Guy -------------------- Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 16:13:22 -0700 (PDT) From: almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu (Kevin C. Almeroth) To: itc(a)ieee.org Subject: [itc] Preliminary List of Conferences Just wanted to point everyone to: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~almeroth/conf/stats/ I wanted to start keeping track of submission rates, accept rates, percentages, and other misc information. If you have information to fill in the gaps, I would appreciate it. Also, if you have other conferences you'd like tracked, let me know, and I'll add them... of course, they only get added if I have data to fill in. -Kevin -- ComSoc Internet TC list.

Dipak, If our conferences are of good quality, there is no such risk. If they are *not* of good quality, they will disappear anyway. There is no room for losers these days. This is the Darwinistic approach. And it is time to realize that. Either we are where the best are, or we will be invisible soon. So we have to go ahead, ... or retire. That's also why it is crucial that IFIP publications be available on line. On the free NEC research index (http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs), the conferences (and also authors, papers, ...) are already ranked by numbers of citations. This is even more dangerous for some of our conferences. And IFIP cannot escape from that trend. Best regards, Guy A (At) 11:43 29/06/2001, dipak.khakhar ecrivait (wrote): >Guy, >Be careful.

Electronic publication and visibility
by Guy Leduc 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Dear all, As a follow up to our discussion about Kluwer and its lack of willingness to support electronic publications, here are some data. We should definitely aim at making IFIP publications available on line. Look at http://www.neci.nec.com/~lawrence/papers/online-nature01/ to see that articles freely available online are more highly cited. To realize that IFIP publications are not well-cited overall, refer to http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/impact.html (PSTV's impact factor = 0.34, IWAN = 0.28, check your favourite, note that SIGCOMM = 2.34 for example, and this is a logarithmic scale!) Note also that Springer's LNCS is not bad at all (impact factor = 0.74). Best regards, Guy ________________________________________________________________________ Prof. Guy Leduc Tel : +32 4 366 26 98 Universite de Liege Secr : +32 4 366 26 91 Reseaux Informatiques Fax : +32 4 366 29 89 Research Unit in Networking (RUN) leduc(a)montefiore.ulg.ac.be Institut d'Electricite Montefiore, B 28, B-4000 LIEGE 1, BELGIUM http://www-run.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/users/leduc.html

Re: [ifip-tc6] TC6 meeting 2001/1 minutes
by Guy Leduc 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Dear Augusto, Regarding the risk loan approach for FORTE'2002. The paragraph does not say exactly what we agreed on. What was agreed is the following: - if the fixed costs are <= 5,000 Euros, then 100% cover - if the fixed costs are > 5,000 and <= 10,000 Euros, then cover = 5,000 Euros - if the fixed costs are above 10,000 Euros, then 50% cover The third item is not present in the minutes. Best regards, Guy Excerpt from the minutes: "TC6 agreed to experiment the risk loan approach with one conference. This conference is FORTE/PSTV'2002 in the USA. As organisers requested full cover of the risks, TC6 agreed that this can be done until the maximum amount of 5,000 Euro. G.Leduc will communicate this to the conference organisers. The profit taken by IFIP will be equal to the percentage of the loan relative to the fixed expenses of the conference. If the full risk is taken, all the profit of the conference, if any, will return to IFIP. The organisers have to present a detailed budget, which will be analysed by P.Nedkov (IFIP executive director), D.Khakhar (IFIP treasurer) and G.Leduc (TC6/WG6.1 chair). These three people have to agree on the budget before the loan is given. The organisers should be told that IFIP reserves the right of auditing the conference accounting if judged necessary."

(Fwd) Correction to PWC 2001 registration fee
by Jan Slavik 14 Jun '01

14 Jun '01

------- Forwarded Message Follows / Následuje předaný dopis ------- Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 09:53:38 +0300 From: trappis <jari.porras(a)lut.fi> To: ifip-tc6(a)lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE Subject: Correction to PWC 2001 registration fee Dear Sirs/Madams, We are deeply sorry for an unfortunate error in the PWC 2001 registration form at the PWC 2001 web pages. The PWC'2001 registration fee for the whole conference has been miswritten as 2500 FIM for one conference day. The correct registration fee should be 2500 FIM for the whole conference, Thursday and Friday. Thus the registration fee for one conference day is 1250 FIM. This mistake has been corrected in the web pages now and will be announced using all those mailing lists that have been used for advertising this conference. A two day registration will be offered for the participants who have already registered for 2500 FIM for one day and the participants, who have already paid 5000 FIM for the whole conference, will be refunded 2500 FIM at the registration desk at the latest.

Final CFP: International Conference on Wireless LANs and Home Networks
by Benny Bing 12 Jun '01

12 Jun '01

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS International Conference on Wireless LANs, PANs and Home Networks 5 - 7 December 2001, Singapore Conference Web Site: www.icwlhn.org Conference Outline The IEEE ICWLHN 2001 is the first conference to integrate technical presentations with live demos, allowing participants to see technologies in action. It is this uniqueness that separates ICWLHN from the rest of other conferences rather than compares ICWLHN to them. The conference will focus on practical application of current technologies with an eye towards the immediate future as well as innovative research. The purpose is to bring together engineers, practitioners, scientists, as well as industry professionals from manufacturers to service providers whose technical interests are wireless LANs (e.g., IEEE 802.11, HiperLAN, Wi-Fi) and personal area/home wireless networks (IEEE 802.15, Bluetooth, HomeRF, WAP). In doing so, technical ideas can be exchanged, potentially leading to the development of new innovations. Conference Highlights Keynote Speech: "Nomadic Computing - The Next Wave of the Internet", Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, UCLA and Nomadix Inc Plenary Speakers: Greg Dicillio, Director, Wireless LAN Association Bob Heile, Chairman, IEEE 802.15 Working Group for WPANs Technology Presentors: Ericsson, Agilent, Mobilian, 3Com, Wi-LAN, EDS, Sharewave, Dell and more Paper Topics Suggestions for paper topics include the following: - Channel Modeling - Modulation - Signal Propagation - Channel Measurements - Multicarrier (OFDM) Systems - Smart Antennas - Emerging Technologies - Network Performance Analysis - Smart Spaces - Error Control Coding - Optical Wireless Networks - Standards Coexistence - Interference Control - Power Control and Management - Synchronization - Internetworking - QoS Provisioning - System Integration - Media Access - Receiver Implementation - Wireless Ethernet - Mobility Management - RF/IC Technology - Wireless Internet - Mobile Computing - Security - Wireless Local Loop Best Papers Authors of best papers will invited to submit full-length papers for possible publication in a special issue of the IEEE Personal Communications, a premier magazine of the IEEE Communications Society. The issue is scheduled to appear in June 2002. Submission Instructions Authors should submit an electronic version of a 2000-word abstract to bennybing(a)icwlhn.org. Preferred file formats include Microsoft Word and Acrobat PDF. The submission should include the name, affiliation, mailing address, email address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author. The submission should be compressed if the file size is larger than 1 Mbyte. In view of an anticipated large number of submissions, it is important that authors keep to the 2000-word limit and discuss key points of their abstracts as concisely as possible. Important Deadlines 2000-Word Abstract Due: 15 June 2001. Notification of Acceptance: 15 August 2001. Camera-Ready Paper Due: 1 September 2001. Author Registration Due: 1 September 2001.
