Dear Jose,
I was very shocked by the news. Olga was a very good friend and an
exceptional professional with whom I had the pleasure of working. Please
give to her family my personal condolences and also from the IFIP TC6
community.

Call for paper
Fourth International IFIP Working Conference
on
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
DAIS 2003
19-21 November 2003, Paris, France
to be held in conjunction with FMOODS'03
International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-based
Distributed Applications Systems
http://fedconf.enst.fr/
A call for tutorials common to FMOODS and DAIS and
a call for workshops will be issued separately.
The ubiquitous explosion of the Internet and the fast proliferation of
distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create
a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the
development, implementation and operation of distributed applications
in complex IT environments full of diversity and
heterogeneity. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'03 will
focus on models, technologies and platforms for reconfigurable,
scalable and adaptable distributed applications.
DAIS'03 will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform
service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new
approaches, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing.
DAIS'03 will include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper
sessions, and work-in-progress presentations. Tutorial proposals are
also encouraged.
Conference themes:
In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for
reconfigurable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in
addition to its traditional themes, DAIS especially encourages original
unpublished papers addressing the following topics:
- new/extended software architectures and frameworks for reconfiguration
and adaptation including component-based approaches (e.g. CORBA
Components, EJB, .NET),
- modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and
adaptive applications,
- support for reconfiguration, self-organisation and autonomic behaviour
in new/existing distributed platforms (e.g. CORBA, J2EE, .NET,
WebServices),
- integration of multi-agent distributed decision-making,
- application environments that exploit characteristics of specific
technologies (e.g. grid computing, mobile and wireless),
- issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application reconfiguration,
- semantic interoperability and semantic web services.
Submissions:
DAIS'2003 seeks submissions for:
- Full technical papers in no more than 12 pages (approximately 6000 words);
- Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results,
in no more than 5 pages.
All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
simultaneously for publication elsewhere. They will be refereed by the
Program Committee. Accepted full papers will be published by Springer
Verlag in the LNCS series.
A call for tutorials common to FMOODS and DAIS and a call for workshops
will be issued separately.
Submission method:
Electronic submission in PDF format using the Springer LNCS style (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).

Call for Participation
Call for student travel award applications
ACM SIGCOMM 2003 -- A Data Communication Festival
25 - 29 August 2003
Karlsruhe, Germany
www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003
We invite participation in SIGCOMM 2003, which broadens the
traditional scope of the conference in a number of ways. The
conference technical program contains significantly more papers, with
the goal of diversifying the topic set and balancing theory and
practice. Additionally, a wide range of viewpoints is represented in
the position paper session, and a poster session will showcase
work-in-progress with particular emphasis on student research. A set
of workshops and tutorials are interleaved with the technical
conference to encourage participation by all attendees. Five
workshops are held for the first time, covering networking research
(MoMeTools & NREDS), future architectures (FDNA), network-I/O
convergence (NICELI), and a QoS retrospective (RIPQoS). The highly
successful education workshop (NetEd) returns for a second
year. Tutorials given by renowned experts cover network security and
self-similar traffic.

Can I thank you and all in TC 6 who have contributed for their thoughts.
It is a very complicated picture to try to unravel. I am glad that Leon and Basie are also participating. No doubt we will be undating you all in due course as the picture clarifies.
Good wishes

Dear Roger,
In our last meeting in Budapest we had been working on the refinement of the
IFIP conditions for the new bid. We sent our contributions to Leon Strous,
who included them in the final document, which has already reached you last
week.
Your mail from May 21st with the news that IFIP and Springer are in the same
company now, reached us after the TC6 meeting. This is definitely new
information which needs to be considered. I circulated the mail within TC6.
I have got a few comments and suggestions from TC6 members on your mail. I
decided that instead of trying to reach by e-mail a consensual message to
send to you, as the time urges, I will forward in separate mails the most
relevant messages that I have received from TC6 members. I really hope that
they can help us in reaching the best decision. Please notice that all of
them insist that electronic publication is also mandatory.
Best regards
Augusto
