Dear TC6 members,
I just returned from the IFIP Council in Bled, Slovenia. In this mail I only
wish to report that the new name, aims and scope of WG 6.8 were approved in
the Technical Assembly. WG6.9 was also approved but we should still modify
the aims and scope to show better that we are not interfering with other
TCs. I will bring a proposal to our TC6 meeting.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca
Dear WG chairmen,
We have no news about ERFs for the following 2002 events:
Latin America Networking (WG6.9)
Electronic Publishing (WG 6.11)
Forte (WG 6.1) [waiting for the risk loan agreement]
Active Networks (WG 6.7).
All the others have been submitted or are being signed.
Could the respective WG chairmen please try to get the ones mentioned above
from the organisers?
Thank you
Augusto

Subject: [WWW2002-ANNOUNCE:8] WWW2002 Early Bird Registration Extended!
For friends of the International WWW Conference Series, we want to let you
know that early bird registration rates have been extended until March 15.
So there's still time to get the best price for WWW2002 registration!
Check it out at:
http://www2002.org
For budget travellers, the Sheraton-Waikiki conference hotel tells us that
the least expensive rooms are just about gone so don't forget to make your
hotel reservations early as well!
We're sending each of you for whom we have a postal mailing address a copy
of our paper brochure. Pass it around the office or show it to your boss!
And let us know at info(a)www2002.org if you need more copies.
A quick reminder that WWW2002 is shaping up to be the best yet in this
outstanding conference series. With a great set of Tutorials & Workshops,
an exemplary core technical program and the signature WWW Developers Day
to top off the week you'll find WWW2002 to be a great value.
Our Featured Speakers will include:
Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the Web, W3C Director and...
Richard DeMillo, VP and CTO of Hewlett-Packard and ...
Ian Foster, Leader and Innovator in Grid Computing and...
Pam Samuelson, McArthur Fellow and...
Alfred Spector, IBM Research VP and...
Read more about them at: http://www2002.org/speakers.html
While much of the program is set, you can still propose BoFs at:
http://www2002.org/bofs.html
You can still propose sessions for what's shaping up to be a great
Developers Day including Tim Berners-Lee by checking out:
http://www2002.org/devday.html
and sending email to the track chairs or devday(a)www2002.org
And the Vendors Track is just about to close up shop, but you can still
submit (quickly) at:
http://www2002.org/cfp-vendors.html
And there are still sponsorship and exhibition opportunities available --
see the conference web page for contact information.
Looking forward to see you you in Hawaii!

CALL FOR PAPERS
HICSS-36 Minitrack on
MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS
http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss
Part of the Software Technology Track
Thirty-sixth Annual
HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
January 6 - 9, 2003,
Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstracts due: March 31, 2002
Full Papers due: June 1, 2002
=====================================================================
In today's mobile society, access to relevant information and to
context-specific services "anytime, anywhere" is becoming increasingly
important. Mobile users are often particularly interested in information
about and services in their immediate vicinity, thus Mobile Distributed
Information Systems must address location-dependent distribution of and
access to services and information from mobile devices. The user's
topological and geographical location becomes relevant for the semantics
of communication, and such communication has to remain seamless even in
foreign environments, with little or no need for manual reconfiguration.
Frequently, in addition to his location, the user's current situation
determines his information and service requirements. With mobile devices
becoming more and more powerful, mobile users themselves may offer
information and services to peers in an ad-hoc manner. Consequently, the
long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred,
which calls for an extension of the architecture paradigm towards peer
and/or alternating roles.
This Minitrack will address current topics in the field of
Mobile Distributed Information Systems, such as:
Location and Situation aware Information Services
Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information
Ad hoc Networking
Quality of Service for Mobile Information Access
Directory Services, Service Discovery, Service Brokers
Service Interoperability, Service Distribution, Service Management
Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration
for Mobile Users
Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Access
Modeling a User's Situation
Mobile Devices: GUIs and Usability
Management of Groups of Mobile Users
Location Tracking Technologies
Fundamentals of location-based Information and Service Distribution
Architectures for Mobile Computing and Peer Service Provision
Security Aspects of Mobile Distributed Information Systems
Charging Models for Mobile Information and Service Access
Business Opportunities and M-Commerce Potential of
Mobile Distributed Information Systems
Mobile Service and Information Provision in the Tourism Industry
Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
* Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of: Internet servers,
Web architectures, communication networks, computer architectures,
database systems, operating systems, Web server software, distributed
systems, multimedia systems, mobile and wireless systems, file and I/O
systems, memory systems, real-time systems, and fault-tolerant systems.
* Techniques and algorithms for: analytic modeling, performance
optimization, queueing analysis, stochastic modeling, model
verification and validation, power analysis, hybrid models,
experimental design, system measurement and monitoring, reliability
analysis, workload characterization, simulation, and statistical
analysis.
Program
