Dear Sir, Thanks for your mail, which Prof. Hu forwarded to me. As you mentioned, it is very difficult task for us to distribute the papers to TPC members according to the specific field of each papers, especially, we are not familier with the TPC members' special fields. Furthermore, we've got most papers in the last days, so that we do have enough time to pre-review the papers for proper distribution. That's why we listed all the papers for your own choice, and we'd like to be informed about your choice (the papers you selected to review) and that would help us to distribute the papers. In fact, in the mean time, we were working hard to divide those papers to some categeries and distrubrited to relevant members, until now almost every paper have got two reviewers, but we still need the third one. Could you please indicate your special fields or interests so that we may distribute some papres for your reviewing. Finally, we are going to have a meeting on March 25 with TPC members, who are able to attend, to determine which papers will be accepted. For we are not experienced to organize such conference indeed, we are very grateful to your suggestions and comments.

Difficult selection procedure

von Otto Spaniol

Dear colleagues, the organisation of TC6 events is sometimes not so easy. Here is another example: A programme committee of a large event in August 2000 is composed of - 13 TC6 delegates (I'm one of those guys) - 18 other members (according to the email address list). The committee members received for reviewing purpose: - an impressive list of 473 submissions which was shortened to 'only' 455 submissions by removing the submissions which delivered not more than an abstract - a request to produce a grade (for all 455 papers???) by a number 5 (strongly accept) or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 (strongly reject); an explanation of the grade would be possible but is not required. So far so good but: - 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) - the attempt to get at a least one of the electronically submitted papers fails due to continuous timeout - 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??? But in this case it is probably the safer alternative no to do any review at all (which is apparently the strategy of all or almost all TC6 PC members) - and the (desired?) outcome will very probably be: - that the PC chairman will fix the whole programme alone - and that he will correctly state that TC6 was not helpful at all for the reviewing procedure. I don't know whether this is the intention of TC6 when we organize an event.

[Fwd: [ifip-tc6] Difficult selection procedure]

von Ramon Puigjaner

Dear friends, I have received the message form Otto Spaniol concerning the review process of ICCT'2000. I fully agree in most of his comments. My only difference is that I have been luckier tha him; I have succeeded to retrive at least one paper (while I was witting this message the second one is arrived) (I continue to be lucky; the third one is arrived). I have been chariman of several programme committees and one of the hardest taks is to distribute the papers among the program committee members trying to balance the workload of each of them and respecting theis expertise domains. In this conference, belonging to the IFIP World Congress, this trask has not been done. From the review form, apparently, we should review all the papers. Otherwise the papers will cover in a random way a sample of the papers, allowing the chairman to decide the accepted papers practically just in his own opinion. And this is not fair. If this is the process, I do not play this role. Best regards to all of you, but specially to those belonging to this extrange program committee Ramon ================================================================================ Ramon Puigjaner Universitat de les Illes Balears Phone: +34-971173288 Departament de Ciencies Matematiques i Informatica +34-971173401 Carretera de Valldemossa km 7.5 Fax: +34-971173003 07071 PALMA e-mail: putxi(a)uib.es Spain ================================================================================

Re: [ifip-tc6] IFIP Council report

von Guy Leduc

Dear Augusto, >Please find the TC6 report for the IFIP Council in attach to this mail. It seems that section 9 (Publications) is incomplete, although I don't know when the previous GA took place. In WG6.1, the following two books have also been published (probably in that period): - Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems II (Publication date: June or July 99) - Testing of Communicating Systems - Methods and Applications (Publication date: August or September 99) Please, don't forget to address the problem of the cost of IFIP books at the GA. This is becoming a problem, because this increases very much the registration fee, and organizers start contemplating the issue of publishing with another publisher. Also the delay of 12 weeks is still too long (compared to IEEE press and ACM press for example). Also, Kluwer does not seem to be willing to publish some proceedings electronically (on CD-ROM for example), which would be a way to decrease the registration fee. We approached them for electronic publication of the PSTV/FORTE proceedings without success. Finally, I'd like to know the number of IFIP books (and which ones) Kluwer has managed to sell at that huge price.

USM'2000

von Otto Spaniol

Hello Augusto, USM'21000 in Munich (Sept. 2000) is an IFIP TC 6 event. Now Claudia Linnhoff-Popien wrote: --------------- Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 17:52:55 +0100 From: Claudia Linnhoff-Popien <linnhoff(a)nm.informatik.uni-muenchen.de> Reply-to: usm2000(a)informatik.uni-muenchen.de Organization: LMU Muenchen, Inst. f. Informatik To: usm2000-pc(a)nm.informatik.uni-muenchen.de Subject: USM'2000: reviews, tutorials and invited talks Dear USM'2000-PC member, the deadline for USM 2000 passed a few days ago and the review process started as you probably noticed. We finally received 44 submissions. Springer Verlag acknowledged to publish the proceedings in their series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. --------------- Springer publications are good but.... What about royalties for IFIP? (Probably nothing!?). What did USM'200 announce about publications in their Event Request Form? Did they submit the Event Request Form? Our publication policy (and our income situation) risks to become relatively unstructured. Best regards Otto
