IFIP Publisher

Dear Roger, In our last meeting in Budapest we had been working on the refinement of the IFIP conditions for the new bid. We sent our contributions to Leon Strous, who included them in the final document, which has already reached you last week. Your mail from May 21st with the news that IFIP and Springer are in the same company now, reached us after the TC6 meeting. This is definitely new information which needs to be considered. I circulated the mail within TC6. I have got a few comments and suggestions from TC6 members on your mail. I decided that instead of trying to reach by e-mail a consensual message to send to you, as the time urges, I will forward in separate mails the most relevant messages that I have received from TC6 members. I really hope that they can help us in reaching the best decision. Please notice that all of them insist that electronic publication is also mandatory. Best regards Augusto

FW: IFIP Publications issue
by Augusto Casaca 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

Dear TC6 members, I forward you the mail from Leon Strous (TC11 chairman) on the publications issue. Please do not get confused with the different mails circulating on publications. This mail is the result of the work that the TC chairs had agreed to do after the Council meeting in Bilbao. This is the final document, whose draft version we have analysed in Budapest. The mail from Roger Johnson, which I circulated to you a few days ago is orthogonal to this one. Up to the moment I have only had feed back to that mail from TC6 members. The attached message from Leon does not make any reference to that mail and proceeds as had been agreed in Bilbao. I will investigate the situation and keep you informed. Best regards Augusto -----Original Message----- From: Leon + Pattry Strous [mailto:strous@iaehv.nl] Sent: sexta-feira, 30 de Maio de 2003 23:34 To: Brunnstein, Klaus; Ralston, Prins; Solms, Basie von; Johnson, Roger Cc: laprie(a)laas.fr; Reis, Ricardo; Khakhar, Dipak; wangqs(a)cidc.com.cn; Wibe, Jan (chair TC-3); Roode, Dewald (chair TC-8); Casaca, Augusto (chair TC-6); Olling, Gustav (chair TC-5); Ito, Takayasu (chair TC-1); Lasiecka, Irena (chair TC-7); Berleur, Jacques (chair TC-9); Rammig, Franz (chair TC-10); Neumann, Bernd (chair TC-12); Karat, John (chair TC-13); Meersman, R. (vice-chair TC-2) Subject: Re: IFIP Publications issue Dear Roger, Prins, Basie and Klaus, we have received comments from most of the TC-chairs and some EB members. Please find attached the adjusted requirements document (version 30-5) where I have tried to accomodate all comments. This list could be the input for the Request for Proposals. According to our time plan, the next step is that the IFIP President appoints the negotiating sub-committee who will start the tender process. I was asked to bring forward the wish not to limit the tender process to only a few well-known publishers but to start an open tender process. My suggestion in this respect is to compose a long-list of possible candidates who will be approached with the question whether they would be interested in bidding. The requirements document could be used to inform those candidates about what we are looking for. The list of interested parties will probably a short-list. Concerning the IFIP Publications Policy document, I have received only one comment. It was suggested to replace "IT" by "Information Science and Technology". I have no problem with that but have not changed the document yet. Please advise how to proceed in order to finalize / formalize this document. kind regards, Leon > Rest of the time line: > May 31 Agreed set of requirements ready / President appoints negotiating sub-committee / Tender list > generated > June 30 Notice of non-renewal of contract sent to current publisher > July 1 Issue Invitation to Tender > Sept 30 Close of bids > Oct 31 Evaluation of bids complete / Recommendation for selection sent to EB > Dec 31 IFIP signs new contract >

CCNC'2004: Call for Papers
by Guenter Schaefer 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

please excuse if you receive multiple copies of this... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers 2004 IEEE CONSUMER COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING CONFERENCE “Consumer Networking: Closing the Digital Divide” (Precedes the CES 2004 International Consumer Electronics Show: www.cesweb.org), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA / 5-8 January, 2004 http://www.ccnc2004.org/ Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society The first IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC'2004) will be held on 5-8 January, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, just prior to the Consumer Electronics Show (www.cesweb.org). The demand for networked consumer systems and devices is large and growing rapidly. At home, in a car or truck, at work or at play, Internet citizens want transparent internetworking for the systems and devices that provide entertainment, information, and communications. This internetworking should be on-demand, with whomever or whatever they want, regardless of time or location. As a result, consumer networking is gaining increasing attention from industry, spawning a range of dramatically different solutions including wireless, wireline, and power line networked communications environments, each with their own strengths and special challenges to overcome. This in turn has defined the scope of consumer networking to range from body and personal area networking, to home networking and wide area networking. In the not too distant future, we will see ad hoc networking augmented with sensors sharing networked knowledge that enables devices and systems to seamlessly interact with the Internet and wide area wireless systems such as WiFi, 3G and future 4G networks. And this is just the beginning! This phenomenon, "Consumer Communications and Networking," has been attracting many researchers in diverse areas from networking to consumer electronics. This conference will present the latest approaches and technical solutions in the area of consumer networking, enabling technologies such as middleware and multimedia, and novel applications and services. The conference will include a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, technology application panels, tutorials, and poster sessions. CCNC 2004 provides a compelling forum for formal discussion and socialization of many of these research challenges with seasoned practitioners and colleagues from both industry and academia. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Networking: - Home LANs (802.11,HiperLAN, Bluetooth, HomePlug) - Vehicle Networks - Body & Personal Area Networks - Ad-Hoc Networks - Sensor Networks - Entertainment Networks - Broadcast Networks - TV-Centric Home Networks - Home Information Infrastructure - Residential Gateways - Interworking (Internet, 3G/4G, etc.) - Network Management & Control - Network Security - Privacy Issues - Protocols - QoS support, Performance Enabling Technologies: - Middleware (Java, .Net, XML, OSGi, JTWI, MHP/OCAP, UPnP, etc.) - Multimedia Technologies - Image Retrieval - Look-up Technologies - Operating Systems - Database Management Systems - Networked Knowledge - Data and Program Migration - Consumer Middleware - Device Discovery - Biometrics for Security - Digital Rights Management - Wearable Computers - Pervasive Computing - Transmission technologies such Ultra Wideband - User Interface - Digital TV Novel Applications, Services: - Novel Applications for Networked Appliances - Entertainment - Games - Medical, Health Care - Surveillance, Home Monitoring - Appliances - Service Evaluation - Smart Services - Smart Spaces - Field Trials - Application for Special Needs - (Kitchen) Counter Intelligence - e-Commerce, m-Commerce - Location Based Services - Personalization - Virtual Home Environment There will be a Best Paper Award for the best-submitted paper.

RE: [ifip-tc6] IFIP Publisher

Augusto I too support Otto's view but Guy's comments and questions ought also to be relayed to Roger Johnson. I'm sure the publications committee are looking for alternative publishers but if anyone has any ideas, they ought to pass them on to Roger. Two questions: Has anyone had any experience with "print on demand" book publishers? Have our contacts with electronic publishing come up with anything useful?
