Dear TC6 members, I am pleased to attach the minutes of the TC Forum held in Bilbao and attended by almost all IFIP TC chairs. These minutes are important for TC6 members so that you can be aware of what is being discussed among the TC chairs. As soon as I receive the minutes of the Technical Assembly and of the Council I will forward them to you too. Please remember that our next TC6 meeting will take place in Budapest, Hungary on May 18th and 19th. Our host Sarolta Dibuz will send you an invitation soon. Best regards Augusto Casaca

TC6 calendar of events

von Augusto Casaca

Dear TC6 members, I attach two files to this mail, the first one with the events sponsored by TC6 in 2002 and a second one with the 6 year plan. In this last file you will notice that we are sponsoring 26 events in 2003, but the table is still scarcely filled for 2004 and empty for the remaining years. I will start working on filling the calendar from 2004 on until our next TC6 meeting. As I told in a previous meeting I am sceptical about keeping the six year plan. In present conditions I feel that a four year plan is already very good and is enough for planning. We can discuss it in Budapest. Best regards Augusto

IT and Sports

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, as you may know from the discussions at our previous meetings there is a new IFIP initiative on "IT and sports" (see annex). TC6 has cinsidered that topic as being of interest - and I have promised to coordinate those activities (one one hand for TC6 and on the other hand for IFIP with respect to Europe; there are some other IFIP volunteers, Erol Gelenbe e.g. would play a corresponding role for North America). My first actions have been contacts to the German Sports University in Cologne (I happen to be a member of their steering committee) in order to find out whether a workshop or a working conference could be held there together with IFIP. This turned out to be interesting for them. Indeed there are already conferences on such topics - without IFIP for the moment being - and the sports university would be very interested to get a better visibility by the help of IFIP. The conference is intended to take place in the second half of September 2004 in Cologne. Now I will have a next meeting with some experts of the "IT and sports" topic on March 27 and in order to prepare myself I would have the following questions to you: - Would you be interesting to support the initaitive (as a member of the PC, as a reviewer, as a possibe participant,..)? - Which topics would be interesting for you? Communication topics, but a mentioning of other topics would also be very helpful. - Or (the other way round) do you believe that TC6 should *not* make an effort in the announced direction? If you believe so: what are your reasons for that? (You will see from the annex that in IFIP General assembly the topics was not unanimously discussed but at the recent council meeting in Bilbao according to Plamen nedkov it was welcomed very much that IFIP proceeds in this direction). I would appreciate very much if you can give me a feedback (at least a short supporting message or a short note that you disagree) until the end of next week, i.e. until March 21. My message is also intended as a try for a revival of the Email discussion within TC6 which has been practically nonexisting since several months with the exception of the forwarding of some boring Call for papers ;-) Best regards and have a nice weekend Otto

Call for Papers: Mobile Distributed Information Systems on HICSS37

CfP: HICSS-37 Minitrack on Mobile Distributed Information Systems [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS HICSS-37 Minitrack on MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS Part of the Software Technology Track at the Thirty-seventh Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES on the Big Island of Hawaii January 5 - 8, 2004 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: March 31, 2003 Full Papers due: June 1, 2003 Website: http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss ===================================================================== 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. In addition to location, other environmental aspects, such as the user's current situation, topology and available bandwidth of wireless networks, battery power and characteristics of mobile devices, are also relevant for determining information and service requirements. For mobile applications, a dynamic re-configurable architecture is thus required to support flexible reaction to changing contexts and seamless operation in foreign environments, with little or no need for manual reconfiguration. With mobile devices becoming more and more popular and powerful, communication and cooperation between mobile users in an ad-hoc manner are strongly desired. Consequently, the long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred, which calls for an extension of the architectural paradigm towards peers 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: Modeling, Architectures and Applications - Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information - Mobile Ad-hoc Networking and Computing - Provision, Distribution and Management of Services for Mobile Environments - Directory Services, Service Discovery and Service Brokers - Middleware for Mobile Distributed Information Systems - Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Applications - Peer-to-Peer Computing and Cooperation: Scenarios, Platforms and Applications - Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration for Mobile Users - Mobile Multimedia Systems, QoS for Mobile Information Access - Management of Groups of Mobile Users - Mobile Devices: GUIs, Usability and Adaptability - Location Tracking Technologies - Security, Privacy and Billing Issues for Mobile Information and Service Access - Applications and Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems MINITRACK CHAIRS Andreas Meissner Zhou Wang Lars Wolf Fraunhofer IPSI Fraunhofer IPSI TU Braunschweig Dolivostrasse 15 Dolivostrasse 15 Mühlenpfordtstraße 23 64293 Darmstadt 64293 Darmstadt 38106 Braunschweig Germany Germany Germany {Andreas.Meissner, Zhou.Wang}(a)ipsi.fhg.de wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de The Minitrack Website is http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Please email general inquiries to hicss(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de MINITRACK PROGRAM COMMITTEE Heribert Baldus, Philips Research, Germany Andrew T.
