many flights (SAS, Malev, Swissair, Lufthansa, JAL, ...) depart on Sunday
in the late morning.
Dear IFIP TC 6:
Here are some mailing lists for IEEE technical committees which are good
for publicizing technical events.
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on the Internet:
tci-announce(a)computer.org
IEEE Communications Society Internet Technical Committee: itc(a)ieee.org
IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Computer Communications:
tccc(a)ieee.org
In addition to these mailing lists, you may want to publicize your events
on mailing lists corresponding to other IEEE Computer Society or IEEE
Communications Society technical committees. You can obtain these lists
from the Web sites:
http://computer.org/tab/tclist/index.htm (IEEE Computer Society Technical
Committees)
http://www.comsoc.org/socstr/techcom/index.html (IEEE Communications
Society)
It is also a good idea to publicize your events on the IEEE Computer
Society and ACM calendars.
In order to list your event in the calendar section of IEEE Computer
magazine, send an e-mail message containing the event name, date, location,
sponsor, submission
deadline, contact person and e-mail address, and Web page to
calendar(a)computer.org. In order to list your event in the calendar section
of Communications
of the ACM, send a similar e-mail message to calendar(a)acm.org. Submit your
requests 2 months in advance of the issue in which you would like your
announcement to appear. Since listings are free, it is often advisable to
advertise your event in successive issues. You should ask them to place
your announcement
in both the calendar section of the magazines and on the Web sites as well
(www.computer.org and www.acm.org).
For large conferences with sufficient advertising budgets, I recommend
buying advertising space for announcements in IEEE Computer, Communications
of the
ACM, or magazines such as IEEE Internet Computing. Instructions for
posting such ads are contained in the magazines themselves.
Best Regards,
Arun Iyengar
Dear friends,
Till now Guy Pujolle and dipak Khakhar have accepted to give a tutorial
in Mexico DF (mexico) and in San Jose (Costa Rica) next September. In
Mexico in the week of September 18 and the week after in San Jose.
Is anybody else interested in giving a tutorial in the proposed places
and dates? If so, please send me asap your proposal (title, objective,
outline, intended audience and CV of the tutorialist) in order to
discuss with the organisers the details of the intervention.
I am looking forward to receive your proposals.
Best regards
Ramon

Opening Reception and Dinner events
The reception is generously hosted by Stockholm City, and includes a
sightseeing cruise on the water ways of Stockholm, through the Old Town
to the City Hall, site of the famous for the Nobel Prize festivities.
The banquet dinner is hosted at the Vasa Museum, site of the Sweden's
largest and most prestigious warship; dinner is included in the cost of
registration, and guest tickets are available. Advance reservations
necessary for all events.
Stockholm - the Royal capital of Sweden - is one of the most beautiful
cities in the world. It is built on fourteen islands and surrounded by
waters so clean that you can fish and swim right in the middle of the
city. Stockholm became the capital of Sweden 750 years ago. In the
winding alleyways of the city's medieval Old Town, the air is redolent
with history. And yet, only a few minutes walking distance away lies
the throbbing pulse of a modern city.
SIGCOMM Award
The SIGCOMM Award is given annually to a person whose career and
technical achievements demonstrate a long-term commitment to the field
of data communications. ACM SIGCOMM is pleased to announce that the 2000
SIGCOMM Award is being given to Prof. André Danthine, University of
Liege, Belgium, who will also provide the keynote address.
