CFP: SelfMan 2005

CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE International Workshop on Self-Managed Systems & Services (SelfMan 2005) Nice, France, 19 May 2005 http://madyne.loria.fr/selfman2005/ co-located with IM 2005 http://www.ieee-im.org/ Scope: As the distributed systems and services that sustain our day-to-day IT and communication infrastructures become increasingly complex, traditional solutions to manage and control them seem to have reached their limits. Researchers are thus testing alternate paradigms to organize and structure them. In recent years, self-managed systems and services have raised much interest in integrated management, distributed systems and software engineering. This interest builds on the success already encountered by self-organized and self-stabilizing systems in distributed artificial intelligence, material science, thermodynamics, etc. During this workshop, we wish to gather people with different backgrounds to analyze and discuss the potential of self-* technologies for managing and controlling distributed systems and services. Areas of interest include self-management, self-organization, self-adaptability, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair and self-configuration. For instance, workshop contributions could describe success stories in a specific field, while others could make analogies between several fields, and yet others could propose new ideas or thought-provoking solutions to old/new problems. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - self-managed distributed systems and networks - context awareness and self-adaptation - self-organization in P2P applications - self-organized MANETs and sensor networks - self-adaptive systems - self-repairing distributed systems - self-configured networks - self-organized service deployment - self-adaptive e-business services - autonomic systems - goals and policies for self-managed systems - decision making in self-* systems The structure of this workshop will encourage discussions and foster future collaborations. Attendance will be limited to 50 participants. Authors should submit 4-page position papers to <jp.martin-flatin(a)ieee.org> in PDF format. Selected papers will be available on the workshop website (no transfer of copyright). Co-chairs: Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin, University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada Joe Sventek, University of Glasgow, UK Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany Program Committee: Ozalp Babaoglu, University of Bologna, Italy Geoff Coulson, Lancaster University, UK Giovanna Di Marzo, University of Geneva, Switzerland Joe Hellerstein, IBM T.J.

TC6 publications
by Otto Spaniol 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Dear all (+ Wojtek Cellary, organisor of I3E), I just phoned Alfred Hofmann from Springer (for I3E and for another non-IFIP event) and got the following maybe important information: There are two possibilities for IFIP publications: - "old style KAP" (Kluwer Academic Publisher) - Springer LNCS. Apparently there is heavy competition between those two possibilities inside the newly merged Kluwer-Springer. It is strongly recommended by Alfred Hofmann to use LNCS instead as of old-style KAP. The reasons: - LNCS is much cheaper (in the bookstore) than old-style KAP, just 35 percent of old-style KAP; it is soft-cover instad as of hard-cover but for only a third of the price this appears to be more than tolerable. - LNCS is included in digital library, old-style KAP is not. - The organisor doesn't have to make a certain bulk size at his own risk, he can order as many copies as he wants. - The organisor gets 50 copies for free, thus for some small workshops he will not have to pay a single cent for the proceedings; the Springer revenue out of LNCS comes from the much higher sales numbers due to the much cheaper price. Thus Springer can afford to give 50 copies for free. - As an example, Alfred told me that INTERACT took 450 books with 850 pages each. The cost with old-style KAP would have been 63.000 EURO (or maybe dollar, I don't remember perfectly) but with LNCS it was not more than 19.000 EURO (or dollar). Thus LNCS publication is very strongly recommended. The only condition is that a very thorough and strong reviewing will be effected. I urge all of our WG chairs that they invite many organisors to seriously check the LNCS possibility. Alfred told me that some other TC's have already taken this as the standard way for publishing IFIP event proceedings. Alfred's phone number is in the list of IFIP delegates: +49-6221-4878599 Hofmann(a)Springer.de Yana Lambert (from old-style KAP) will not be delighted to see that comparison but she will have to live with it. Best regards Otto

Dear Otto, Thank you very much for this information. It will be very useful for the conferences organised in developing countries. This point, in Toulouse during the GA, remain in the dark space, even that several question appear to know these aspects, but Jennifer Evans (Yana Lambert was sick) skipped to answer.

Updated attendance list
by Otto Spaniol 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Dear all, please find enclosed the updated attendance list for meeting 2004/2. Would the three delegates who didn't send any message (i.e. delegates from Greece, Slovenia, and Syria) please give at least one line of code concerning their presence or - what appears to be much more likely - their non-attendance. If I don't get at least this minimum message then I intend to ask IFIP GA for a replacement very soon - since that form of missing activity cannot be tolerated any longer. Best regards Otto
