RE: [ifip-tc6] WG 5.5 and TC-EC
by Radford, Peter 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

Augusto It's really Volker's call on WG5.5, if he's happy, then there is probably little point in raising objections. (And if he has objections, he can overrule mine!) In case Volker is unable to respond by your deadline, is it possible to propose that points 2, 3 and 4 of the WG5.5 Scope include some reference to "collaboration with TC6"? (Point 4 clearly has security implications too but that's not our problem.) Similarly, point 2 of the draft Scope for TC-EC is relevant to TC6, so the question above applies here too. Some of it is mobile network related but I presume this point would also cover the technology for networked games, so it might have interactions with other working groups.

Importance: High To: IFIP Member Society representatives - Full, Corresponding and Affiliate cc. IFIP Member Societies Subject:: Special promotion discount for IFIP Congress 2002 Dear All Earlier this week the OC Chair and I carried out a brief review of the status of Congress registrations coming from IFIP member society countries. On 3 July registrations from IFIP Member countries were as follows: Armenia - 1, Australia - 10, Austria - 7 Belgium - 4, Brazil - 5, Bulgaria -1 Canada -56, Chile - 1, China - 6 Denmark -2 Egypt -2 Finland - 19, France -17 Germany - 37 Hungary - 4 Iceland -1, India - 2, Israel - 3, Italy - 5 Japan - 8 Lithuania - 1 Netherlands - 9, Norway - 3 Poland - 4, Portugal - 4 Slovenia - 2, South Africa - 6, South Korea -1, Spain -4, Sweden -6, Switzerland - 6 UK - 12, USA - 52 From these figures you will note that several countries are very well represented but many are below their potential attendance. In view of the situation and in order to stimulate further registrations the Congress Organizing Committee has agreed to carry out a special one time promotion. All persons who register from today until Friday, 26 July 2002, will receive a 30% discount on the normal rate and will need to pay only CAD 700. Eligible for this offer are members of IFIP member societies - Full, Corresponding, Affiliate - who are active in the respective society's working groups, technical committees, management boards, etc. In order to benefit from this scheme, when they register they should indicate "Special IFIP promotion rate" and indicate the society of which they are members. This one-time offer is intended to stimulate further Congress registrations and at the same time to recognize and reward the active membership of our Member societies. We would be grateful if our GA representatives and member societies publicize this within their committees and boards.

RE: [ifip-tc6] IFIP Publication Policy
by Arun Iyengar 10 Jul '02

Peter: There are advantages to having a copy of proceedings even if some papers are posted on individual authors' Web sites. If I want to see all of the papers for a good conference, it is not going to do me much good to try to find the subset of authors who have posted their papers on their personal Web sites and try to locate their Web sites to obtain the papers. This would be very time consuming, and I am only likely to obtain a subset of the papers. I would much rather obtain the proceedings for the conference. What is important is to attract the highest quality submissions. Authors want to put their papers on their Web sites. The key thing to getting the best proceedings and making IFIP as successful as possible is to get authors to want to publish their papers in IFIP proceedings. If we go with a publisher who doesn't allow authors to publish papers on their Web sites, this would be a deterrent for authors to publish their best work in IFIP conferences. This may have more of a negative impact on revenues than lost book sales due to some papers being available on the Web. The world is moving to a model where the Web is one of the primary means of information dissemination. Any publisher who doesn't allow this is behind the times. I also don't think that it should be that difficult to negotiate this point. Other major publishers (e.g. ACM Press, IEEE Press, Kluwer) allow authors to put copies of their papers on their Web sites. It was a major improvement when Kluwer started allowing this, and now that we have it in our contracts with Kluwer, it isn't something we should give up in the future. That would be taking a step backward.

I've amended my earlier comment on point 7 -----Original Message----- From: Radford, Peter Sent: 10 July 2002 08:56 To: TC6 Subject: RE: [ifip-tc6] IFIP Publication Policy Augusto, et al I've comments on just two points: 7. This ought to make clear (if that is the intention) that TC6 expects the publisher to provide the CDs and at some reasonable price (say, less than 5 Euros). I talked to three companies offering CD-ROM replication services today and, despite all the variables (such as number of copies, what sort of printing on the CD and what sort of packaging) got a reasonably consistent response of about 3 Euros/CD. That sounds a lot in comparison with the price of a raw CD but there is a non-trivial amount of work involved. (Incidentally two companies said there was a breakpoint at 500 copies in terms of whether they simply copied the CD or made a physical master and pressed the CDs.) 8. If a paper is available on the author's web site (or authors' web sites), why should anyone pay for it from the publisher (see point 2)? How about demanding that authors be allowed to put the free information (see point 3) on their public web-sites but also be allowed to distribute electronic copies, if they wish?

Attached documents are the outcome of discussions made at extended ECTF meeting held at the site of International Workshop on Entertainment Computing. The conclusions of the meeting were the following two: 1) ECTF should make a formal proposal on a new TC on Entertaiment Computing in Montreal. 2) Before the formal proposal we should make best efforts to avoid the overlap of its activities with existing TCs and to adjust its aims and scope with relevant TC/WG chairs. The attached draft proposal was written by me (Tak Kamae) on the basis of the discussions made at the meeting. The meeting minutes are attached as Annex 3. I will appreciate it very much if you read through them and send me the opinions of your TC. Please feel free to send the documnts to relevant WG chairs and get their opinions. I would like to draw particular attention of the following TCs: TC-3 (refer to 4.1), TC-5 (refer to 4.2), TC-9 (refer to 4.3), TC-12 (refer to 4.4) and TC-13 (refer to 4.5) Upon receit of your comments and opinions I would like to write a final version of the proposal.
