Dear friends,
As you know, I have been working to set up a series of conferences on
networking in Latin America.
Finally I have succeeded and we have the agreement of SADIO, the
Argentinian society member of IFIP, for celebrating the conference in
Santa Fe (Argentina) in September 3-7, 2002.
Augusto has appointed me as Program Committee Chairman. In consequence I
have the obligation of building this committee and the first group to
which I ask for help is the TC6. So, formally, who is interested in
participating in this Program Committee? What is asked to the member of
the PC is, in addition to reviewing papers, to promoting the paper
submissions.
I am looking forward to know your answers.
Best regards in the beginning of the new millenium
Ramon

Dear TC6 members,
Lyman Chapin and myself have prepared the following proposal for TC6
student grants.
Please read it carefully and let us know your comments, so that we can
prepare a final version within a reasonable delay.
Best regards,
Guy
IFIP TC6 Student Travel Grant Programme
Under the programme, students or young researchers from an IFIP member
country apply for travel and accomodation funding to make it possible for
them to attend a conference or workshop sponsored, in whole or in part, by
IFIP TC6 or its WGs. Young researchers are researchers at pre-doctoral
level and up to an age limit of 35 years old at the time of the conference.
A committee reviews their applications and awards grants to the students
who would not otherwise have the resources to attend a conference or
workshop, with benefits to both the student and the conference/workshop.
The number of grants and the per-grant maximum amount are established on a
case by case basis by the event organizer, depending on the total amount
allowed for all grants by IFIP TC6.
Grants cover travel and lodging expenses up to the per-grant maximum.
Students should note that the grant sizes are fixed, so that any costs in
excess of the grant will not be reimbursed. The conference organizer may,
but is not required to, waive the conference registration fee and/or
tutorial fees.
Applications for grants will be evaluated by a committee consisting of the
responsible IFIP WG chair (or TC6 chair for events not sponsored by WGs)
and two others selected by the conference chair(s). Grants will be awarded
based on the evaluating committee's assessment of the student's genuine
financial need, the potential benefit to the student's education, research,
and career, and the potential benefit to the conference. The committee may
favour students who are (co-)authors of accepted papers (or possibly
posters) to avoid "no shows," and may decide to make only one award per
university. The number of awards to be made is proposed by the conference
chair(s) and approved by the responsible IFIP WG chair. There is no
requirement that a conference or workshop make any awards under this
programme, and the evaluating committee may make awards for less than the
maximum established by the conference organizer.
To apply for a grant, students should send a letter to the Conference
chairperson explaining how they believe attending the conference will
benefit them. The letter should quote the lowest available airfare from the
student's location to the conference site, and the bank account details of
the student's institution for reimbursement. The application should include
a letter from the student's graduate advisor describing the student's work
and the benefit to that work of attending the conference.
E-mail applications are encouraged. Applications are due 8 weeks before the
conference date. The committee decisions will be made 6 weeks before the
conference date.
If the student does in fact attend the conference, the conference organizer
will
either pay for or reimburse the student's lodging expenses for the
duration of the conference, and will reimburse the travel cost to the
student's institution, without exceeding the total amount of the
grant for all expenses.
The conference organizer will claim the total grant amount to IFIP using
the appropriate form.
Typically, the total amount allowed for all grants of an event can be
expected to be around 1500 Euros (resp. 500 Euros) for a flagship (resp.
working) conference fully or mainly sponsored by IFIP, depending on the
size of the event.

CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM SIGCOMM 2001 CONFERENCE
August 27 - August 31, 2001
Mandeville Auditorium, UC San Diego, CA, USA.
http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2001
Important Dates:
Paper submission: January 26, 2001
Tutorial proposals: February 12, 2001
Notification of acceptance: April 23, 2001
Camera ready papers: May 21, 2001
The SIGCOMM 2001 conference seeks papers describing significant research
contributions to the field of computer and data communication networks.
Authors are invited to submit full papers concerned with both theory and
practice. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Distributed application networking infrastructure.
- Distributed common application services, middleware protocols, and
signaling.
- Routing, switching, and addressing.
- Resource sharing, quality of service, multimedia networks, and OS
support.
- Multimedia networking.
- Networking aspects of the WWW.
- Heterogeneous internetworking, large-scale networks.
- Network management.
- Active network architectures and protocols.
- Important experimental results from operational networks and lessons
learned from prototype implementations.
- Wireless networking and support for nomadic computing.
- Analysis and design of computer network architectures and algorithms.
SIGCOMM 2001 is a single-track, highly selective conference at which
successful submissions typically report results firmly substantiated
by experiment, implementation, simulation, or mathematical analysis.
In addition to the technical program (paper presentations), SIGCOMM 2001
will offer tutorials by noted instructors on the two days preceding the
actual conference, and feature an outrageous opinion session where fresh
and unconventional perspectives will be offered.
Submission Instructions:
------------------------
Papers must be less than 20 double-spaced pages long (formatted for
printing in the Proceedings, papers may not be longer than 12 pages),
have an abstract of 100-150 words, and be original material that has
not been previously published nor is currently under review by another
conference or journal.
Authors must submit papers electronically, using the instructions at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigcomm/sigcomm2001/submission/index.htm.
Authors not able to comply with these instructions should contact
the Program Co-Chairs at sigcomm2001(a)seas.upenn.edu . Papers
submitted after the deadline will not be considered without an
ahead-of-time extension from the Program Co-Chairs.
All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and
relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the
authors are withheld from the reviewers. Consult the on-line
submission instructions for information on preparing a manuscript for
double-blind review. Authors of accepted papers will need to sign an
ACM copyright release form and present their paper at the
conference. The Proceedings of the conference will be published as a
special issue of ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review. The
Program Committee may also select a few papers for possible
publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. Electronic
copies of the accepted papers will be published on the SIGCOMM 2001
web site prior to the conference unless authors specifically request
that this not be done.
Tutorials:
----------
SIGCOMM 2001 will begin with two days of full-day and half-day tutorials
covering single topics in detail, at both the introductory or advanced
level. Individuals interested in submitting tutorial proposals are
encouraged to contact the Tutorial Chair before the deadline to discuss
the proposed content.
Student Paper Award
-------------------
Papers submitted by students may be considered for a student-paper award,
which includes full conference registration and a travel grant of
approximately $500. To be eligible, the student must be the sole
author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. A cover
letter or email to the Program Chairs must identify the paper as a
candidate for this competition.
SIGCOMM Award:
--------------
The keynote speaker at SIGCOMM 2001 will be the 2001 winner of the ACM
SIGCOMM Award for lifetime contributions to the field of computer
communication. Procedures for nominating candidates for the SIGCOMM Award
can be obtained from Scott Shenker (shenker(a)aciri.org).
Dear all,
I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and a nice rest for the
holidays!
