Dear all,
A web page with a list of networking conferences, and statistics thereof,
is being established and maintained by Kevin Almeroth. See email below.
May I advise every TC6/WG chairman to collect statistics about his WG
conferences and send the information to Kevin.
IFIP conferences should appear in this list too ...
All the best,
Guy

Subject: [itc] Preliminary List of Conferences
Just wanted to point everyone to:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~almeroth/conf/stats/
I wanted to start keeping track of submission rates, accept rates,
percentages, and other misc information.
If you have information to fill in the gaps, I would appreciate it.
Also, if you have other conferences you'd like tracked, let me know,
and I'll add them... of course, they only get added if I have data
to fill in.

Dipak,
If our conferences are of good quality, there is no such risk.
If they are *not* of good quality, they will disappear anyway. There is no
room for losers these days. This is the Darwinistic approach. And it is
time to realize that.
Either we are where the best are, or we will be invisible soon.
So we have to go ahead, ... or retire.
That's also why it is crucial that IFIP publications be available on line.
On the free NEC research index (http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs), the
conferences (and also authors, papers, ...) are already ranked by numbers
of citations. This is even more dangerous for some of our conferences. And
IFIP cannot escape from that trend.
Best regards,
Guy

Dear all,
As a follow up to our discussion about Kluwer and its lack of willingness
to support electronic publications, here are some data.
We should definitely aim at making IFIP publications available on line.
Look at http://www.neci.nec.com/~lawrence/papers/online-nature01/
to see that articles freely available online are more highly cited.
To realize that IFIP publications are not well-cited overall, refer to
http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/impact.html
(PSTV's impact factor = 0.34, IWAN = 0.28, check your favourite, note that
SIGCOMM = 2.34 for example, and this is a logarithmic scale!)
Note also that Springer's LNCS is not bad at all (impact factor = 0.74).
Best regards,
Guy

Dear Augusto,
Regarding the risk loan approach for FORTE'2002. The paragraph does not say
exactly what we agreed on.
What was agreed is the following:
- if the fixed costs are <= 5,000 Euros, then 100% cover
- if the fixed costs are > 5,000 and <= 10,000 Euros, then cover = 5,000 Euros
- if the fixed costs are above 10,000 Euros, then 50% cover
The third item is not present in the minutes.
Best regards,
Guy
Excerpt from the minutes:
"TC6 agreed to experiment the risk loan approach with one conference. This
conference is FORTE/PSTV'2002 in the USA. As organisers requested full
cover of the risks, TC6 agreed that this can be done until the maximum
amount of 5,000 Euro. G.Leduc will communicate this to the conference
organisers. The profit taken by IFIP will be equal to the percentage of the
loan relative to the fixed expenses of the conference. If the full risk is
taken, all the profit of the conference, if any, will return to IFIP. The
organisers have to present a detailed budget, which will be analysed by
P.Nedkov (IFIP executive director), D.Khakhar (IFIP treasurer) and G.Leduc
(TC6/WG6.1 chair). These three people have to agree on the budget before
the loan is given. The organisers should be told that IFIP reserves the
right of auditing the conference accounting if judged necessary."

Subject: Correction to PWC 2001 registration fee
Dear Sirs/Madams,
We are deeply sorry for an unfortunate error in the PWC 2001
registration form at the PWC 2001 web pages. The PWC'2001 registration
fee for the whole conference has been miswritten as 2500 FIM for one
conference day. The correct registration fee should be 2500 FIM for the
whole conference, Thursday and Friday. Thus the registration fee for one
conference day is 1250 FIM.
This mistake has been corrected in the web pages now and will be
announced using all those mailing lists that have been used for
advertising this conference.
A two day registration will be offered for the participants who have
already registered for 2500 FIM for one day and the participants, who
have already paid 5000 FIM for the whole conference, will be refunded
2500 FIM at the registration desk at the latest.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
International Conference on Wireless LANs, PANs and Home Networks
5 - 7 December 2001, Singapore
Conference Web Site: www.icwlhn.org
Conference Outline
The IEEE ICWLHN 2001 is the first conference to integrate technical
presentations with live demos, allowing participants to see technologies
in action. It is this uniqueness that separates ICWLHN from the rest of
other conferences rather than compares ICWLHN to them. The conference
will focus on practical application of current technologies with an eye
towards the immediate future as well as innovative research. The purpose
is to bring together engineers, practitioners, scientists, as well as
industry professionals from manufacturers to service providers whose
technical interests are wireless LANs (e.g., IEEE 802.11, HiperLAN,
Wi-Fi) and personal area/home wireless networks (IEEE 802.15, Bluetooth,
HomeRF, WAP). In doing so, technical ideas can be exchanged, potentially
leading to the development of new innovations.
