Fellow TC6 members,
I am no longer employed by NextHop Technologies, but because I worked
from an office in my home, almost all of my contact information
remains the same. My email address is now lyman(a)acm.org. The old
lyman(a)nexthop.com address will continue to work until about August
15. Phone, fax, mobile, and postal address all stay the same (but
remove the words "NextHop Technologies" from my postal mailing
address).

Dear TC6 members,

Dear Augusto,
thank you very much for the document on "Entertainment Computing" which
will be
discussed at IFIP GA in Montreal. Obviously this was an outcome of IWC 2002
where TC6 members including myself) had been nominated for the steering
committee.
However, I was not contacted at all by the organisors. Maybe this was due to
the belief (see minutes of their meeting) that Europe where IFIP has a
rather strong
hold has not much activities in computer games and thus might be
reluctant to go into that area.
I append some comments below.
Best regards
Otto
--------------------------------
Comments on the proposal for a new IFIP TC 14 on "Entertainment Computing"
1. There is another discussion on IT & Sports which will also be discussed
in Montreal. It is recommended to combine both of them since they fit
very well together - and a concentration of "sports" or
"entertainment" alone
would fall short.
2. There were some overlaps mentioned: with TC3, TC5, TC9, TC12, and with
TC13.
Interestingly enough, TC6 was not included in that list but the topics
"network based entertainment" (i.e. distributed games), "mobile
entertainment",
"location-based entertainment" and some others have a clear relation
to aspects
which are treated byIFIP TC6.
I don't propose to stop any new activities but a strong cooperation
with TC6
is recommended.
3. The concentration on "entertainment" (i.e. on "algorithmic research on
board and on card games", "hardware technology research for
implementing enter-
tainment systems", "haptic and other human interface technologies for
enter-
tainment; see: Aims of the new TC) misses a lot of other aspects which
or of equal and even bigger importance for the society:
Namely: "Planning of Leisure activities", "Health improvement by IT
methods for
an ageing society (e.g. by robot assistance)", "Management and
Organisation of
Large Sport Events", "Networks for Efficient Drug Monitoring",
to name just a few topics which deserve to be included in the new TC.
Dear IFIP TC 6:
Please help distribute the following call for papers announcement for the
2003 International World Wide Web conference. Once again, this is being
organized in partnership with IFIP WG 6.4 on Internet Applications
Engineering.
Best Regards,
Arun Iyengar

POSTERS
Posters provide a forum for late-breaking research, and facilitate
feedback in an informal setting. Posters are peer-reviewed. Formatting
and publication details will be available on http://www2003.org/.
The poster area provides an opportunity for researchers and
practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent web-related
research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal
setting. It gives conference attendees a way to learn about innovative
works in progress in a timely and informal manner. Inquiries can be sent
to king(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk.
TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS
A program of tutorials will cover topics of current interest to web
design, development, services, operation, use, and evaluation. These
half and full-day sessions will be led by internationally recognized
experts and experienced instructors using prepared content.
Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, leaders,
and practitioners to explore current web R&D issues through a more
focused and in-depth manner than is possible in a traditional
conference session. Participants typically present position statements
and hold in-depth discussions with their peers within the workshop
setting.
Inquiries about the WWW2003 tutorials and workshops can be sent to
bieber(a)oak.njit.edu.
DEVELOPERS DAY
Developers Day (D-Day) will be devoted to the interests of web
developers, and will offer in-depth discussions of technologies and
tools at the forefront of the web. This day-long program will consist
of several parallel streams focused on specific content areas. D-Day
sessions are designed to be timely and state-of-the-art. Inquiries
about the WWW2003 Developers Day can be sent to ivan(a)w3.org.
