And another one ... (but a view from the commercial world!) I'd find it very hard to justify, to my bosses, my going to any general conference like WCC. Things have to be targeted. Maybe there might be some benefit from running a number of well-targeted conferences in parallel but much thought would have to be given to how to extract that benefit. Regards Peter -----Original Message----- From: Harry Rudin [mailto:hrudin@smile.ch] Sent: 16 September 2004 16:59 To: Guy Leduc Cc: putxi(a)uib.es; ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Subject: Re: [ifip-tc6] WCC 2006 It has long seemed to me that the WCC is fast becoming a dinosaur congress. When one past IFIP president wrote that it was the " most important thing that IFIP does", I had to protest. I humbly suggest that TC6 suggest to the Powers That Be that the days of WCC are past and that IFIP's exposure is much greater than any conceivable gain. Sorry to be so negative but our smaller, carefully targeted technical meetings are much more attractive in this day and age. Well, just one person's opinion. A good topic for the next TC6 meeting. with best regards all around, Harry Guy Leduc wrote: > Dear Ramon, > > Thanks for the interesting data, but who is going to pay the 220 kEUR > this time? > > Best regards, > Guy > > [Private joke] Please, advise the next WCC organizer to set the break > even point more realistically (I would not bet above 500 participants > next time). > > _______________________________________________ ifip-tc6 mailing list ifip-tc6(a)lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE http://MailMan.RWTH-Aachen.DE/mailman/listinfo/ifip-tc6 This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

I attended both WCC and the general assemby in Toulouse and I have the data ou request. > Was it a success? >From technical as well from organisational viewpoints it was a great success. In total there were more than 1000 attendees; however as the registration was global for all events I have no data per track or other concurrent activities (topical days, workshops, student forum, etc.). The bad point was that the breakeven was at 1300 attendees and, in consequence there were aprox 220000 euros of losses (report from Jean-Claude Laprie to the general assembly).

WCC 2006
by Otto Spaniol 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Dear all, here is the first invitation for IFIP WCC 2006 in Santiago de Chile. Contributions of TC's are particularly wanted. You will see that TC6 is explicitly mentioned "due to its experience with events in South America". The topic wil have to be discussed in Bangkok. Best regards Otto ----------------------- Dear TC Chairs Nice seeing most of you in Toulouse, and welcome to the new TC 9 and TC 13 Chairs. As you know, I was appointed by President Brunstein as IPC Chair for WCC 2006 (because of some matters outside my control, this appointment will be revisited.)However, in the meantime, I would like to invite all TCs, and their Working Groups, to seriously consider some smaller or bigger involvement in WCC 2006. I know some of you have already scheduled conferences for 2006, but urge you to consider some (further) involvement at WCC 2006. It is a unique opportunity in Southern America, and some TCs like TC 6 and TC 9 have experiences of being involved there. Please consult your management ASAP, as time is short, and we want to get the structure of the program sorted out ASAP. Hope to hear from you. Regards Basie von Solms Vice-President

Dear Otto, Currently I am in Peru giving a doctoral course and last week of this month I will be attending CLEI (Koos will be also here). I will talk with CLEI people in order to see how to manage LANC and WCC. I expect to bring some sound proposal to Bangkok.

Re: Fwd: Re: [ifip-tc6] Event request forms
by Otto Spaniol 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

Dear all, > >There are some severe errors in Event Request Form. >It needs to be simplified and corrected. > One of the errors is that it should read: Break even number of participants = (FE - FI)/(VI - VE) instead as of: (FI - FE)/(VI - VE) Thus we have a sign error! Furthermore many organisors use "Total Income" instead of FI and "Total expenses instead of FE. This is probably due to the fact that the corresponding lines are so near to each other. As a consequence they come up with (for example) 0.07 number of participants in order to break even. (See the attached document as an example). It would be best to create a quite simple Excel sheet where the organisor would have just to fill: - The category of the event (working conference etc. in order to calculate the IFIP fee automatically) - The duration of the event (in days) - The expected number of (full paying!) participants without invited speakers, local people etc. - The expected contributions from supporters etc. - The expected income from tutorials - The expenses (pre event and during event) - The expected expenses per particpant (proceedings, coffee,..). All the other numbers (contingencies, break even,...) would then be calculated automatically by Excel. The informations concerning "surplus share to IFIP" ect., are mysterious and nobody has used these informations in practice. Thus they might be cancelled. Best regards Otto

Dear all, The IFIP STATUTES & BYLAWS with all agreed changes are on IFIP's web site. You have access to them by following the path: http://www.ifip.or.at/ => "about IFIP" => "Statutes&Bylaws". Best regards Otto p.s.: This document will not be distributed by letter nor will it be part of the next meeting minutes. Please make your own copy. We'll try to limit the paper exchange (among other reasons: voluminous meeting documents are too heavy for transportation in the airplane)

Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of sensor networks and systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Location and mobility management - Topology control and time synchronization - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Intelligent sensors - Power Management and energy-efficient design - Cross-layer architectures - Security and dependability issues - Modeling and performance evaluation - Measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM).
