Dear TC6 members, The deadline for hotel registration in Libon ended yesterday. I managed to get an extension of that deadline until September 13th. Please remember that the hotel cannot guarantee rooms after that date. I would thank also that those of you who come to the Lisbon meeting, but are not staying in the Melia Hotel, please let me know. Best regards Augusto

Kein Betreff
by Otto Spaniol 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

Dear all, please let me first thank you so much for the enormous degree of confidence which you have expressed for me AND FOR RAMON. Indeed, the total number of votes which have been received (much higher than in other elections) is a clear sign that TC6 is very alive and that delegates and WG chairpersons care about the committees. Some words concerning my candidature should be in order: as I was TC6 chairman from 1992 until 1997 I didn't consider a new period as chairman at all. However, in July and in August 2003 the list of potential candidates was empty therefore I was then contacted by quite a substantial number of delegates who asked me, and sometimes urged, me to do the job again. And even when another candidate emerged (in September 2003) I was again contacted by several delegates asking me to uphold my candidature. At the end of the day I couldn't resist them ... and now we have to live the outcome. During the last weeks (and not knowing anything about the result of the voting) Ramon and myself tried to arrive at a suitable strategy how to best serve TC6. We agreed that we will form a team (which will work very well since we are very good friends). We agreed that the best solution would be to have two co-chairs (such as e.g. in WG 6.8) but I'm not sure - and rather sceptical - whether this would be in line with the rules of IFIP. If such a solution is not possible then Ramon will act as vice-chairman. We are absolutely sure that this will be a win-win situation for TC6. Finally, my sincerest thanks go to Augusto who paved the way for a very strong position of TC6 both within IFIP and outside. Both Ramon and myself will rely on his experience in order to further substantiate the position of TC6 in the IFIP Council and the General Assembly. Thus, let's look optimistically into the future. And let's follow the motto of Sepp Herberger, the coach of the German soccer team which won the world championship in 1954). He said: "After the match is before the match". Best wishes to all of you and many thanks once again Otto *********************************************************************** SPANIOL Otto, Prof. Dr. Tel.: +49-241-80 21400/401 Aachen University of Technology Home: +49-241-57 45 90 Computer Science Department FAX: +49-241-80 22220 D - 52056 Aachen Email: Office address: spaniol(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Ahornstrasse 55 www: http://www-i4.informatik.

NSF Informational Meeting: Networking of Sensor Systems
by sensorsystems_meeting＠enl.usc.edu 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP). Call for Participation ----------------------- NSF Informational Meeting for the NeTS Program Focus Area: Networking of Sensor Systems --------------------------------------------------------- Meeting Website: http://enl.usc.edu/sensorsystems_meeting Relevant NSF Solicitation: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2004/nsf04540/nsf04540.htm The NSF recently issued a new solicitation 04-540 on Research in Networking Technology and Systems. One of the focus areas in this solicitation is the Networking of Sensor Systems. This focus area is concerned with the design and development of protocols, operating systems, and network architectures and with building systems that facilitate constructing networks of sensor systems. The overall goal is to make it as easy to assemble a network of sensor systems in the next few years as it became in the 1980s to assemble a LAN of workstations using the BSD Unix protocol stack and socket interface and Ethernet line cards. This is a call for participation in a one-day informational meeting that will help potential proposers to get background information on the focus area and on the state of sensor systems research. The meeting has limited seating so please RSVP early. Logistical Details ------------------ Date: February 20, 2004 Venue: Marina Del Rey Hotel, CA Hotel Information: Marina Del Rey Hotel 13534 Bali Way Marina del Rey, CA 90292 Hotel Reservations: Call 1-800-882-4000 Special Rate: $99.00 Ask for: USC-NSF Networking of Sensor Systems Workshop Cutoff date: February 6, 2004 Hotel Shuttle: Hotel has free shuttle from LAX, call 310-745-5181 for pickup. Web site: http://enl.usc.edu/sensorsystems_meeting Registration: http://enl.usc.edu/sensorsystems_meeting Registration Fee: $50, payable on-site. Contact: sensorsystems_meeting(a)enl.usc.edu for questions about the workshop. Goals of the Informational Meeting ---------------------------------- The purpose of the informational meeting is to share with the community the goals and scope of the focus area. By including presentations from researchers, vendors, and applications experts, this meeting will enable attendees to get a sense of the state of the art in sensor networks, and the key challenges facing the focus area and sub-areas thereof. It will help the community better target proposals; PIs will be able to conserve efforts by understanding which proposals would be completely out of scope. Finally, it will start to build a community for the focus area, perhaps encouraging early collaboration and potentially strengthening the pool of submissions. Format ------ The meeting will start with the cognizant NSF program officer(s) presenting an overview of the focus area, and providing some context for the focus area within the broader networking program at NSF. This presentation will include the technical and logistical details of the focus area, and will be followed by an open question and answer session from the attendees. This break will then be followed by five panels of approximately one hour each. Each panel will consist of speakers drawn from the community who will cover different aspects of sensor network systems. Each panel will have three panelists who will summarize lessons learned from the first generation of sensor systems, and discuss the challenges in each of the sub-areas. Tentative Agenda ---------------- 7:45am - 8am: Continental Breakfast 8am-10am: Overview and details of Focus Area Guru Parulkar, NSF 10am-10:30am: Break 10:30am-11:30am: Network and protocol architecture for sensor systems 11:30am-12:30pm: Network programming and querying 12:30pm-1:30pm: Lunch 1:30pm-2:30pm: Algorithms for networks of sensor systems 2:30pm-3:00pm: Break and vendor demonstrations 3:00pm-4:00pm: Experiences with testbeds and applications 4:00pm-5:00pm: Integration of research and education 5:00pm-5:15pm: Closing remarks A more detailed agenda will be posted on the website closer to the meeting date.

Re: Job Descriptions: IFIP TC and WG Chairs
by gjo＠daimlerchrysler.com 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

Dear Max: I appreciate your effort to document the job descriptions for Technical Committee Chair, as well as WG Chair. I have one minor comment on Item #3 in the TC Chair description: "To appoint Chairs of Working Groups on the recommendation of the TC and other members of Working Groups with the approval of the TC and Working Groups." What I'm saying is that the Chair ought to be appointed by the TC Chair, not only with the approval of the TC, but also, in my opinion, with the approval of the Working Group. In the description of the WG Chair, I like to suggest one additional item: To foster collaboration with other TC's and Working Groups and organize, where appropriate, events of mutual interest and support. Gus Olling "Max Bramer" <Max.Bramer@port. To: "IFIP TC Chairs" <Max.Bramer(a)port.ac.uk> ac.uk> cc: Subject: Job Descriptions: IFIP TC and WG Chairs 01/26/2004 09:33 AM Please respond to Max.Bramer To: All IFIP TC Chairs cc: Chair, Technical Assembly At the last Technical Assembly I was asked to create a generic job description for TC Chairs and WG Chairs for report back to the Council meeting in Cape Town. In doing this I have been aware of the large differences that can exist between the most active TCs and WGs and those that are less well established or are newly created. To reflect this I have aimed at producing job descriptions that include all the relevant information in the current Bylaws and could reasonably be held to apply to all TCs and WGs, whilst allowing individual TCs to specify additional responsibilities if they wish. I have placed drafts of the two job descriptions on the web at http://www.bramer.plus.com/tc12/tcchair_desc.htm and http://www.bramer.plus.com/tc12/wgchair_desc.htm Please let me have your comments as soon as possible. I should like to issue a revised version early in February for your approval in principle before the TA meeting in Cape Town. Max Bramer Chair, TC12
