WG restructuring

von Augusto Casaca

Dear TC6 members, As you remember a group was nominated in the last TC6 meeting to prepare the restructuring of the Working Groups. Work went on by e-mail within this group and although the work has not finalised yet, it is time to open the proposals to the entire committee, in order that all of us are able to discuss and conclude the WG restructuring in Paris. In the proposal that follows, I think that, somehow, I interpret the feeling of the majority of members in the group, but from the formal point of view, please consider it only under my responsibility. The idea is that for those of you, who wish to do so, comments, negative or positive, can be done before the paris meeting, in order that we have a better proposal. Basically, I propose to keep the same Working Groups, although some of them with a different name and scope. In summary I propose: WG 6.1: new name WG 6.2: new name and scope WG 6.3: no change WG 6.4: new name and scope WG 6.6: new name and scope WG 6.7: no change WG 6.8: new scope WG 6.10: new scope No change is proposed for the Task Groups. In attach you will find two files. One contains the existing names, aims and scope of the WGs. The other one contains in a simple form the new names and items proposed for the WGs. I would like ask to the WG chairmen involved in any type of change to comment the respective proposal asap. In this case, I am referring to Guy Leduc, Samir Tohme, Guy Pujolle, Wolfgang Zimmer, Jan Slavik and Harmen van As. After we reach an agreement we need to write the detailed aims and scope for each of the WGs. I would leave this task to the respective WG chairmen. I wish you a nice weekend Augusto Casaca WG 6.1: (new name required) (No change in aims and scope) WG 6.2: Broadband Networks - Local Area Network Architecture - Wide Area Network Architecture - Switching and Routing - IP and ATM integration - IP and ATM mappings on lower layers - MPLS - Signalling - Network quality of service - Access Networks - Mobile access - Transport of packetized voice and video WG 6.3: Performance of Communication Systems (No change in aims and scope) WG 6.4: Internet Engineering and Applications - Internet traffic characterization - Internet quality of service - Traffic engineering and control in IP networks - Multicast - Group Management - IP Virtual Private Networks - Scalability aspects - Mobile IP - Caching - Internet security protocols - Audio/Video/Voice coding for Internet services - Multimedia in the Web - Internet operation - Hypertext and Hypermedia - Agent technologies - Web navigation strategies - Internet Applications - Distributed games WG 6.6: Network and Service Management (new name suggested) (Aims and scope to be adapted to the new name) WG 6.7: Smart Networks (No change in aims and scope) WG 6.8: Wireless communications - Wireless Access networks - Satellite networks - Wireless LANs - Cellular networks - Digital microwave systems and networks - Digital radio and TV broadcasting WG 6.10: Photonic Networking - Photonic switching - WDM and DWDM - Optical network architectures

This is the first major public release, v1.2. X-Bone dynamically deploys and manages Internet overlays to reduce configuration effort and increase network component sharing. X-Bone discovers, configures, and monitors network resources to create overlays over existing IP networks. The X-Bone is implemented in Perl, and open source is provided. The X-Bone can be used for: - deploying VPNs - sharing lab or wide-area networks for multiple, concurrent projects for testing protocols and apps on new topologies X-Bone uses two-layer IP in IP tunneled overlays and supports existing applications and unmodified routing, multicast, and DNS services. X-Bone also support IPSec within overlays. Applications can use the X-Bone without modification or recompilation. The X-Bone is available for the following operating systems: - FreeBSD CAIRN 2.5, 3.*, 3.* + KAME IPsec patches - Linux RedHat 6.0, 6.0 + NIST Cerberus IPsec patches, 6.1 The FreeBSD port and Linux RPM have been submitted to the FreeBSD ports and RedHat Linux RPMs sites; further information and details and the port and RPM files are currently available at: http://www.isi.edu/xbone/ - Joe Touch Project Leader, X-Bone group, USC/ISI touch(a)isi.edu http://www.isi.edu/touch +1 (310) 448-9151 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Effort sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)and Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number F30602-98-1-0200.

Very unfortunate date clash

von Otto Spaniol

Dear Colleagues, I have just received a call for papers of the conference "European Wireless 2000" (togethe with 7th European Conference on Fixed Radio Systems and Neworks" to be held Sept. 12-14, 2000, Dresden (Germany). Organisor: IEEE-COMSOC (among others) Our TC6 event "IFIP Conference on Personal Wirelss Communications" is scheduled for Sept. 14-15, 2000 in Gdansk (Poland). Whereas Gdansk is relatively near to Dresden there is littlehope that many delegates will attend both conferences. Of course, we cannot change anything any more but it is not the bst situation. Best regards Otto

Re: About paper reviewing

von GONG Ke

Dear Sir, Thanks for your comments on the reviewing procedure. In fact, to identify the subjects of each paper and distribute them to relevant experts might be the most difficult task for conference organization. Because we have receive most paper in the last days, we did not have sufficient time to preview all 473 papers and make proper divsion of them. Furthermore, we are not familier to the special fields of many TPC members. That's why we listed all the papers to you for your choice. Acturally, what we expected was that you may select some papers (say 10-20) to review and inform us about your choices, so that we may distribute the remainders to other reviewers. As matter of fact, we were working very hard to preview the papers in the meanwhile, contact authors for different kinds of problems, such as the error in opening the files, lack of figures or pages, viruses in files, etc.; answer various questions to authors; and so forth. Nevertheless, we've asked some professors to preview the papers and to divide the papers into certain categories. Up to now, (1) we have got elctronic files for most of the papers, which were prevously only have hard copies, but there're still some papers do not have E-file yet. (2) most of the papers have been asigned to at least two reviewers, but we still need the third reviewer. And, We'd like to ask TC6 to help us to be informed about TC6 members special fields, so taht we may distribute some papers for them to review. WE DO NEED THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM TC6. For this purpose, I need your earliest reply. We're going to have a meeting on March 25 with TCP members who are able to come, to determine which papers will be accepted. Because we are not experienced in organizing such conference, we would be very grateful to your suggestions and helps. Here are anwers to some of your questions: > - a lot of manuscripts are available only as hardcopy version and could > be requested by regular mail from the organisors (less than three > weeks before the end of the evaluation deadline) We may send them by EMS if required. Please indicate which ones you'd like to have. Also we may send them by fax. > - the attempt to get at a least one of the electronically submitted > papers fails due to continuous timeout We've made some efforts to have a Web-site for you to read the papers, but I am reported there're some administration problem. Anyway, we'll try out best to solve the access problems. In fact, we may send compressed files to you according your requiste. Have you the list of paper's titles? Would you make a selection from the topics and indicates the relevant numbers? > - apparently no PC member knows which paper should be reviewed by whom > and how many papers should be reviewed per PC member; > it might be that 342 papers would not get a single review whereas > 51 manuscripts would get more than ten reviews, who knows??? We invited some experts to do the review tasks, now we have already asigned more than 400 papers to more than 50 experts (including TPC members), each have got 10-20 papers, and most papers have got two reviewers. Yours sincerely GONG Ke Tsinghua University Beijing 100084 China
