=======================================
Dear colleagues,
also from my side a merry Christmas 2004 and a prosperous 2005 !
After a heated copyright discussion in Bangkok things became a little bit
more quiet now.
But as a disturbing new I have to tell you that Springer has refused for the
first time to publish an event of TC6, namely Ie§ (Oct.2005) in Cracow!
See below.
I attach for your distraction:
1. A (maybe old) story concerning the nonexistence of Santa Claus
2. Some slides of a Christmas lecture concerning Computer Science and Religion
which I held yesterday under a pseudonym name (we call it Anagramm in
Germany).
Have fun.
Best wishes
Otto

The rejection message by LNCS follows:
Dear Wojciech:
Thanks for your reminder regarding the status of IFIP I3E 2005 for
publication in LNCS. I had been out for a two week trip to China and
could not sort out the matter before I left. So, I ask for your
understanding that I am coming back only now.
The main reason for the delay in coming to a decision at our side was
that we had a controversial evaluation of your proposal going back and
forth several times and that in this context we had to agree on a certain
principled approach.
I very much regret to have to inform you that we have decided not to
accept IFIP I3E 2005 for publication in LNCS. We feel that, topicwise as
well as regarding the people involved, the focus of I3E is rather on the
applications of techniques from information systems, computer
communications networking, etc. to business solutions than on advancing
these techniques themselves or the related methodologies or foundations.
We therefore feel that LNCS, with ist focus on serving the technical
computer science R&D community is not the propper platform for
publication of this proceedings.
As said, I regret that the LNCS series editors could not agree on
accepting I3E, however, I am sure that my colleague Jennifer Evans from
Springer US/Norwell would be interested and happy to arrange with you for
publication of I3E 2005 in the form KAP IFIP Proceedings publication
style. Jennifer's email address is Jennifer.Evans(a)springer-sbm.com
(Jennifer is my counterpart for the Springer CS publication program in
America and she takes care of IFIP related proceedings (while Yana
Lambert is out on illnee-leave)).
I ask for your understanding of our decision and hope that another
opportunity will occur for successful cooperation.
Seasonal greetings and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Alfred

Recent years have witnessed an enormous growth in the development
and applications of mobile computing environments and devices.
Many practitioners envision a future empowered with context and
location aware computation and communication infrastructure that
allow users to access data and receive service at any place and
any time. Compared to conventional platforms, the mobility of
computing nodes introduces many challenges to the design of almost
all systems components.
This symposium will foster a forum for discussing and presenting
recent research results on mobile computer systems. Original
papers are invited in the broader area of mobile computing. Papers
must report high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Architecture and infrastructure support
- Middleware and operating systems services
- Development platforms and environments
- Adaptive resource management schemes
- Pervasive and Context-aware Computing
- Performance metrics and studies
- Power aware computation and communication
- Data consistency and synchronization protocols
- Fault-tolerant architectural and operation models
- Wearable computing devices and systems
- Time constrained mobile systems
- Robust ad-hoc networking techniques
- Efficient localization techniques
- Wireless sensor networks
- Mobile peer to peer systems
- Quality of service provisioning
- Context-conscious computing
- Web caching and services
- Emerging applications and systems
- Mobile agents
- Mobile commerce
- Security and privacy issues
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to
younis(a)csee.umbc.edu. All papers are limited to 6 pages in MS-Word, PS

The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on
Mobile Commerce and Services
July 18-19, 2005, Munich, Germany
in conjunction with the
IEEE International Conference on Electronic Commerce (IEEE CEC 2005)
http://www.wmcs2005.org/
Paper submission deadline: February 14, 2005
-----------------------------------------------------------------
While wired E-Commerce has been accepted and used widely in recent years
and become significantly important in our daily life, mobile
commerce (M-commerce) is still an emerging discipline that is currently
experiencing massive growth rates. The success of M-Commerce is
basically dependent on the development and acceptance of new wireless
technologies over 3G and 4G networks as well as intelligent service
platforms on mobile devices. However, to fully exploit the high growth
potentials of M-commerce there is a strong need to adopt existing
E-commerce approaches for wireless networks and to develop new
sophisticated mobile applications to meet the needs of mobile
subscribers, for
example in the areas of financial transactions, mobile marketing and
gaming, as well as location and context-aware services. Compared with
the
traditional wired E-commerce, wireless networks and mobile devices
impose additional constraints, challenges, and requirements on building
M-commerce platforms and applications, for example content adaptation,
security and privacy issues, and mobile payment mechanisms.
The Second IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services
(WMCS) brings together researchers, scientists, software
architects, and industry professionals with the aim of discussing and
exchanging innovative ideas and research work in M-commerce and
services. The topics for submissions include but are not limited to the
following fields:
- Novel M-commerce applications and services
- Location and context-aware M-commerce services
- Service platforms for supporting M-commerce (mobile web enterprise)
- Brokerage and service discovery mechanisms
- Middleware, mobile components, and agent technologies supporting
M-commerce
- Platforms for client applications in mobile devices (J2ME, Symbian)
- Digital Rights Management
- Wireless security problems & solutions, and mobile privacy
- Mobile payment solutions, systems and platforms
- New wireless multimedia technologies and platforms for M-commerce
(e.g., DVB-H)
- Inter-organizational service provisioning (business models and their
realization)
- Wireless advertising solutions, systems and platforms
- Mobile entertainment applications, services and platforms for digital
mu-sic, videos and games
- Case-studies and experiences (experience reports)
Submissions
-----------
Authors are invited to submit original and significant research
contributions in the aforementioned areas. All submissions will be
peer-reviewed by
the members of the international program committee. It is planned to
publish the proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (

papers will be published in a special issue of "Electronic Commerce
Research
and Applications".
Full papers must not exceed 16 pages and conform to the LNCS style. We
accept papers in PDF and PS format. Authors should submit a full
paper via EDAS, see http://www.wmcs2005.org/ and
