Dear TC6 members,
The deadline for hotel registration in Libon ended yesterday. I managed to
get an extension of that deadline until September 13th. Please remember that
the hotel cannot guarantee rooms after that date. I would thank also that
those of you who come to the Lisbon meeting, but are not staying in the
Melia Hotel, please let me know.
Best regards
Augusto

CALL FOR PAPERS (New this Year: a Broader Vision)
ACM SIGCOMM 2003 -- A Data Communication Festival
25 - 29 August 2003
Karlsruhe, Germany
www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003
DEADLINES
Submission of full paper: 31 January 2003 (firm)
Workshop proposals: 10 January 2003 (firm)
Submission of posters: tentatively June 2003
We invite papers that are about communications systems, whether imagined,
architected, built, measured, analyzed, or simulated and comprehended.
We have no preferred topics within the broad range of potential topics
from policy and operations through information coding and transmission.
Papers might be a detailed exploration of a well travelled path, or shed
light on the boundary between two or more areas. Papers might present
cross-cutting design principles, report on practice, or prove new properties
for networked systems. Papers on infrastructures or methods that enable new
research are also welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Operations Resource Management
Distributed Applications Security
Protocols Systems
Transmission Network Architecture
We invite full papers that present original, reproducible results (14 pages)
and position papers that present preliminary work rich in implications for
future research (8 pages). Both types of papers will be presented
and appear in the conference proceedings. Paper submission guidelines and
guidance on position paper content will posted on the conference web site
the near future.
In addition, SIGCOMM 2003 is open to proposals for panel discussions on
timely and controversial topics. Panel proposals should include the topic
and motivation for the panel, the names of the panel chair and panelists,
and an outline of the format of the panel discussion.
NEW THIS YEAR: SIGCOMM 2003 will dramatically broaden the vision of the
annual SIGCOMM conference. We seek to expand the intellectual diversity of
the papers, modify the program to be more receptive to new ideas and
community-driven initiatives, and expand the intellectual agenda to include
papers from a broader set of topics and recognize the wider range of
methodologies that constitute data communications research. More details
are available at http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/SIGCOMM-FUTURE.pdf.
We are also inviting new communities to hold workshops in conjunction with
the SIGCOMM conference and will provide them with the necessary support to
make those workshops a success. Two of these will be
Future Directions in Network Architecture
Education Workshop following on the heels of the successful 2002 event
More details will be available on the Web page soon.
TUTORIALS
SIGCOMM 2003 will feature tutorials to be announced at a later date.
STUDENT PAPER AWARD
Papers submitted by students may be considered for a student paper award.
To be eligible, a student or group of students must be primary contributors
to the paper. Such papers should be indicated as such on the paper
submission web page.
SIGCOMM AWARD
SIGCOMM 2003 will begin with a keynote by the 2003 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 Karen Sollins <sollins(a)lcs.mit.edu>.
As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2003 will have a poster session and student
travel grant program. Visit the conference web site for details as they
become available.

Dear Prof. Augusto Casaca
IST2003 Technical Committee Member
I would like to thank you once again for your favorable response to our
invitation to join the IST2003 Symposium as a member of the Technical
Program Committee.
The premier event, IST2001, enjoyed a high profile stature and owes its
success much to the collective effort and dedication of its TPC Members. As
such, I would like to request each of our esteem Members to actively
publicize the event among potential contributors in their immediate academic
or research environment and encourage them to contribute original papers in
their areas of expertise.
Please refer to the IST2003 website at its official address
www.itrc.ac.ir/ist2003 and the First Call for Papers (attached). You are
requested to visit the website regularly to observe updates. Also, we are
sending by post a number of the IST2003 printed brochure for distribution
among potential contributors.
I would be glad to receive your comments and advise. Look forward to hearing
from you and hopefully meeting you in Isfahan next year.
Best regards,
Mohammad Kamarei

Subject: [IFIP] TC 6 - A Sailboat in the Wind (contd.)
Dear All,
Our report on the 30th Anniversary of TC 6 in Lisbon -
http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/tc6.pdf - continues to be a topic of
interest within the IFIP Community. People write, people call, people visit
and tell us they enjoyed it a lot.
We received the following messages from two past Presidents and thought you
might appreciate to read what they say:

I enjoyed reading of the TC6 activities in Portugal.
I remember Luis Penedo very well. During his time as Portuguese
representative we became friends and I liked him very much. Through that
friendship Luis and the then Portuguese Computer Society invited me to
Lisbon in April 1985 and I delivered a paper on "Man and Computer", This
was after the IFIP Council meeting in Munich at which we celebrated IFIP's
25 Anniversary in a one -day symposium. All the then seven IFIP Presidents
were at those celebrations.
Getting back to Luis, he invited me to his home and he and his wife took me
to dinner at a delightful Portuguese restaurant, where the seafood were kept
live in pens and I still have the wooden gavel I souvenired which was
provided to crack the shells.
Luis was a great fan and exponent of fado and was expert at the Portuguese
guitar. I was fortunate to have him play it for me.The following evening I
was able to repay his hospitality and I took him and his wife to a lovely
restaurant in Lisbon and for the first and only time in my life saw a
bottle of red wine opened using a piece of heated wire and snapping the top
off the bottle.
The following year (1986) we held the March Council meeting in Lisbon. I'm
delighted to hear of Luis' activity in retirement doing something he loves.
I wish I'd been there

Your message of October 17 -- focused on TC-6 -- was in my e-mail box when
I returned from a memorial service that day. The service, beautifully done,
was for Keith W. Uncapher, who is listed in the TC-6 report as interim
Chairman during 1974 - 1975.
One of the speakers at the service was Vint Cerf, well known - indeed,
famous - in the Internet pioneering world. Vint and I had not spoken before
the service, so I was pleased and surprised when he discussed the TC-6
communication demonstrations in South Africa and Brazil.
He spoke anecdotally of the problems they encountered, ranging from working
with a communication connection consisting of three wires emerging from the
floor, to the difficulties of finding electronic parts locally to rig up
some kind of working network.
While there were several participants who made it possible, Cerf mentioned
specifically that Keith Uncapher drove the event, never faltering in his
optimism that, both times, eventually led to a successful outcome. I'm not
sure, but I don't think Vint Cerf was a member of TC-6. He went to South
Africa and to Brazil because the concept intrigued him, but, equally so,
because Keith was involved. Cerf was not the only one who made the event
successful, of course, but perhaps his role is illustrative of Keith's
ability to attract technologists who otherwise might not have been involved
with IFIP.
I was pleased to note that the TC-6 report speaks of the "past President"
who mentioned the TC-6 events of South Africa and Brazil, and I am glad
that I decided to include those events in my report to IFIP.
There will be another memorial service in November, at the University of
Southern California, where Keith was instrumental in founding and initially
directing what is known as the USC Information Sciences Institute, now a
300-person organization still actively engaged in communication technology.
The University wanted to organize its own tribute to Keith's contributions.
I plan to speak on his role in AFIPS and his support of IFIP's TC-6
activities.
Keith was a friend, a dear friend. We miss him.
