Subject: [IFIP] Problem in Secretariat
Date: Mon, 19 May 2003 12:52:38 +0100
Dear colleagues,
I have observed, with both bemusement and alarm, the "over the air" debate
concerning the position of Plamen Nedkov and the status of his contractual
position with respect to the IFIP secretariat.
I cannot pretend to understand the underlying cause of this issue, nor the
pragmatic issues associated with its resolution. However, what I can see is
that it is causing quite a lot of unnecessary harmful politicking and hurt,
both to IFIP, and IFIP's reputation, as an organisation, and also to IFIP's
membership.
I have not known Plamen for very long, having first met him at Montreal GA
last year. However, I know those who know him, and they universally express
astonishment at what has come to pass, and also the view that Plamen has
been, and can continue to be, an asset to IFIP.
Remember that we, the members, are IFIP - not the secretariat, not the
officers, and while it is these that present IFIP to the wider world, the
consequences are reflected back against the membership.
Therefore I would like to express the Irish Computer Society's full support
for Moshe Gottlieb's "Call for Reconciliation," and would urge others to do
the same, please.
Best Regards,
Declan Brady
Vice Chair, Irish Computer Society

Scope and Objectives
FORTE denotes a series of international working conferences on formal
description techniques (FDTs) applied to computer networks and
distributed systems. The conference series started in 1981 under the
name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both
series were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. Two years ago the conference
changed the name to its current form. FORTE provides a forum for
researchers and users to review, discuss, and learn about new
approaches, concepts,and experiences in the field of formal description
techniques and their application.
The 23rd FORTE conference will be held in Berlin. It is organized by the
Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus (BTU Cottbus) and the
Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin). FORTE 2003 is especially

Subject: [IFIP GA] FYI: Past president Prof. Ambros Speiser passed away
Dear members of the IFIP community,
it is with deep regret that I have to inform you that
Prof. Ambros P. Speiser
Past IFIP President (1965-1968)
passed away on Saturday May 10, 2003 at age of 81.
Following an information from Prof. Zehnder (ETH Zurich)
which Past President Prof. Bobillier forwarded to me, here
are few details of Prof. Speiser´s professional carreer:
Prof. Speiser was one of the founders of Informatics in
Switzerland where he lead, in 1954-1957, the development of
the ETH research computer ERMETH (which was in operation until
1963). He was the founding director of the IBM Research Laboratory
in Zurich-Oerlikon (from 1956-1966), and he was thereafter founding
director of the BBC/ABB research laboratory in Baden-Dattwil, from
1966 until 1987 when he retired. During his industrial career as
one on Switzerland´s most important engineers, he supported ETH
Zurich and esp. influenced the education of engineers specialising
in Informatics profoundly. The then newly established faculty for
Informatics at ETH Zurich honored him with their first honorary
doctor degree.
Moreover, please read the appraisal of Prof. Speiser which was published
in the "Day of President" series of IFIP secretariat (see appendix).
We will keep Past President Ambros Speiser well in our memories.
Klaus Brunnstein (May 15, 2003)
============= Excerpt from "Day of President Speiser" ===================
Re. Project "The Day of the President"
Swiss exports? Medicine, technology, watches, chocolate... How about
Presidents!
Prof. Ambros Speiser was the first of the magnificent Swiss trio to lead
IFIP. Ambros was the second IFIP President, from 1965 to 1968. Before that
he was appointed by the first IFIP Council meeting in 1960 as IFIP
Secretary-Treasurer. What is Speiser's story to us?
Click here >>> http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/presidentday.htm and then
follow the link to our interview to find out how IFIP made bureaucrats in
the Soviet Union and in IBM-France more considerate. Follow the story to
learn how Germany was united (and then separated) in IFIP 3 decades before
the Berlin wall collapsed.

description techniques (FDTs) applied to computer networks and
distributed systems. The conference series started in 1981 under the
name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both
series were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. Two years ago the conference
changed the name to its current form. FORTE provides a forum for
researchers and users to review, discuss, and learn about new
approaches, concepts,and experiences in the field of formal description
techniques and their application.
The 23rd FORTE conference will be held in Berlin. It is organized by the
Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus (BTU Cottbus) and the
Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin). FORTE 2003 is especially
dedicated to the application of formal description techniques to
practice, especially in the Internet domain. The conference will consist
of tutorial sessions on the first day, followed by presentations of
reviewed and invited papers, tool demonstrations, and panel and working
sessions.
Topics of interest
FORTE'03 will provide a forum for researchers and users to review,
discuss, and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the
application of formal methods such as finite state machines, process
algebras, Petri nets and logics and formal description techniques
including SDL, UML, LOTOS, MSC, ASN.1, and others. Topics of interest
include, but are not restricted to
- Use of formal methods: FDT based design of communication protocols and
distributed systems especially for Internet applications, Formal
verification, Performance modeling and analysis, Automatically
derived implementations, Test of distributed systems and
communication protocols including interoperability tests,
performance tests, robustness tests, and test generation procedures,
Tool support
- Theoretical aspects of formal methods: New approaches and theories,
Extensions of FDTs, Semantic foundations, Real-time and probability
aspects
- Practical experience with formal methods: Reports and case studies of
the deployment of formal methods and FDTs to the development and
validation of distributed systems and communication protocols, in
particular in Internet and communication domains.
We strongly encourage the submission of papers with practical
applications especially in the areas of multimedia applications,
wireless and mobile communication protocols, client/server applications,
secure systems/environments, e-business and mobile commerce,
and other Internet applications.
Submission policy
Several types of contributions are solicited:
- Full papers - research or practice results (not more than 16 pages)
- Tutorial proposals
- Work in progress papers (not more than 5 pages)
- Tool demonstration proposals
Only original papers, i.e. not submitted nor published elsewhere, should
be submitted. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format
using the following address:
