TC5 TITLE

von gjo＠daimlerchrysler.com

Dear Colleagues: In preparation for our meeting in Korea I had an action item to review the proposed title change for TC 5 and revisit this subject again in Korea for closure. TC 5 had long deliberations on this subject and we believe that the title INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION best fits as a descriptor for our new AIMS and SCOPE, which have been unanimously approved at our last meeting. So, that indeed is our first choice. If, some of you have passionate objection, then we could live with the title COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION. Would you please think about this proposal so that we can put closure to this subject. Gustav TC5 Chair Visit the CAx R&T website at: http://roadmap/d2710

Fwd: AW: IFIP publications in LNCS

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, a question concerning LNCS publication was directed by Guy Leduc (thank you very much, Guy, for that) to Alfred Hofmann from Springer. Even if this quzestion was only for WG 6.1 I think that it is valid also for all other WG's and for TC6 as a whole. Best regards Otto ---------------- Anfang Weiterleitung ---------------- Betreff: AW: IFIP publications in LNCS Gesendet: Mittwoch, 1. Dezember 2004 17:55 Uhr Von: Alfred.Hofmann(a)springer-sbm.com An: Guy.Leduc(a)ulg.ac.be Kopie: spaniol(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de , Alfred.Hofmann(a)springer-sbm.com Dear Guy Leduc: Thank you very much for your mail regarding publication of the proceedings resulting from IFIP WG 6.1 conferences/workshops in LNCS, now under the IFIP-LNCS clauses of the IFIP-Springer contract. I am well aware of your role for IFIP WG 6.1 and of your scientific work generally; indeed, I had been knocking at your office door when I visitied Andre Danthine at Liege (now quite some time ago). Your analysis of what out of the WG 6.1 activities had been published so far in LNCS is accurate and in accordance with my understanding. I also would take this opportunity to express my thanks to IFIP WG 6.1 and you personally for publishing in LNCS at time when this still was not officially agreed upon. As to your question about the status of the six 2005 events listed in your mail regarding publication in LNCS, I do not see any problem: some/most of these six meetings are accepted (at least in principle), and given the previous publication record of these meeting in LNCS, evaluation of the inquires in discussion with the LNCS series editors is rather a matter of formality. So, please take it from this message that all six meeting can and will be published in LNCS also in 2005. There is other new inquireis refering to the IFIP Springer/LNCS Agreement which do casue more problems (due to the less technical orientation of some of them). Below, I attach the general terms for IFIP-LNCS publication. Roughly speaking, compared to standard (non-IFIP) LNCS, a list price mark-up of around 30 % is applied in order to compensate for the publication fee we have to pay IFIP for these proceedings. Regarding complimentary copies and discsounts for buying conference copies the same terms are applied like for standard LNCS; no mimimum underwriting guarantee is imposed to workshop/conference organizers for buying a certain number of their books, small workshops in principle can do with the 50 free copies alone. If you have further questions I would be happy to talk to you on the phone; I am sure we will have an opportunity to meet in person at some conference (somewhere/somewhen). I look forward to cooperating with you and the organizers of IFIP WG 6.1 events for publication of these proceedings in LNCS. Best regards, Alfred --- Alfred Hofmann Springer Editorial Director Computer Science --- Tiergartenstrasse 17 | 69121 Heidelberg | Germany tel +49 (0) 6221 / 487-85 99 fax +49 (0) 6221 / 487-85 88 <mailto:alfred.hofmann@springer-sbm.com> alfred.hofmann(a)springer-sbm.com <http://www.springeronline.com/lncs> www.springeronline.com/lncs --- ************************************ As to the financial side, no royalties are paid for editing LNCS Proceedings, however a standard number of 50 free copies of the book are given to the editor(s). Additional copies needed for distribution at the meeting or to contributing authors etc. can be bought at a discount of (at least) 45 % off the list price; this discount is increased to 47.5 % or 50 %, etc. if at least 100 copies or at least 200 copies, etc. are bought (respectively). For proceedings with more than some 750 pages, the aforementioned discounts can be (slightly) improved as well as the number of free copies. The list price of an IFIP-LNCS Proceedings essentially depends on the number of pages needed, as shown in the 2004 IFIP-LNCS Proceedings Price List below. Please note that, besides the cost for the books also the transportation cost has to be covered. Please note that, besides the costs for the books, the transportation costs also have to be covered and that there might be a slight price increase for 2005. 2004 IFIP-LNCS Price List ********************************************************* NET LIST PRICES FOR LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE published in cooperation with IFIP (effective: February 1, 2004) NUMBER of PAGES EUR up to 250 58.00 251-300 63.00 301-350 68.00 351-400 73.00 401-450 78.00 451-500 83.00 501-550 88.00 551-600 93.00 601-650 98.00 651-700 103.00 701-750 108.00 751-800 113.00 The page number ranges refer to the total number of pages needed (i.e. Roman numbered front matter pages plus Arabic page count). This list gives the full EUR list prices. For bulk orders of conference proceedings a discount off these list prices is granted; this discount depends on the number of copies bought. In addition to the cost for books shiped to conferences, the transportation cost has to be covered. The list prices of volumes with more than 800 pages are calculated individually. As a rough approximation, EUR 4.00 are to be added for each additional 50 pages needed beyond 800 pages; there are (slight) reductions for high printrun titles or two-volume proceedings. _____ Von: Guy Leduc [mailto:Guy.Leduc@ulg.ac.be] Gesendet: Dienstag, 30. November 2004 14:01 An: Hofmann, Alfred, SV Cc: Otto Spaniol Betreff: IFIP publications in LNCS Dear Mr. Hofmann, I've been the chairman of IFIP WG6.1 since April 1998. Our Working Group has been the sponsor (or sometimes co-sponsor) of several conferences and the following proceedings have already been published in LNCS: Middleware (IFIP is main sponsor, ACM and USENIX are co-sponsor) Middleware 5 Lake District UK 1998 Middleware 6 New York USA 2000 Middleware 7 Heidelberg Germany 2001 Middleware 8 Rio de Janeiro Brazil 2003 Middleware 9 Toronto Canada 2004 IWQoS (IFIP is co-sponsor with IEEE Communication Society) IWQOS 9 Karlsruhe Germany 2001 IWQOS 11 Monterey, CA USA 2003 FORTE (IFIP is full sponsor) FORTE 22 Houston (Texas) USA 2002 FORTE 23 Berlin Germany 2003 FORTE 24 Madrid Spain 2004 TESTCOM (IFIP is full sponsor) Testcom 15 Sophia Antipolis France 2003 Testcom 16 Oxford UK 2004 FMOODS (IFIP is full sponsor) FMOODS 6 Paris France 2003 DAIS (IFIP is full sponsor) DAIS 4 Paris France 2003 As WG chair I always advised our conference organizers to publish the proceedings in LNCS (despite the fact that the IFIP official publisher was KAP). Now, the new contract between IFIP and Springer Science + Business Media, and in particular its article 38, specifies explicitely that IFIP proceedings can be published in IFIP LNCS, and I am strongly in favour of this. For 2005 you've probably been already sollicited by several organisers of our events. Otherwise, I'd like to inform you that we would like to publish the following proceedings in IFIP LNCS: Middleware 10 Grenoble France 2005 FORTE 25 Taipei Taiwan 2005 Testcom 17 Montreal Canada 2005 FMOODS 7 Athens Greece 2005 DAIS 5 Athens Greece 2005 IWQOS 13 Passau Germany 2005 Could you let me know if you agree? Note in particular that IWQOS has been mostly published by IEEE (the co-sponsor) so far, but some organizers sometimes prefer LNCS. In 2005, they are contemplating the possiblity to publish in LNCS again, and I would like to confirm that this is indeed possible. In particular, I would appreciate receiving the data concerning the bulk price of LNCS volumes for organizers. I'm looking forward to reading you.

2nd Call for Papers-- IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems

von Wendi Heinzelman

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ========================================= IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems June 30 - July 1, 2005 Marina del Rey, California, USA ========================================= WWW.DCOSS.ORG The 2005 International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '05) will take place in Marina del Rey during June 30 - July 1, 2005. DCOSS is motivated by the successful ALGOSENSORS '04 (Algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks) workshop, which was co-located with ICALP and LICS in Finland on 16 July, 2004. While the scope of ALGOSENSORS was focused on algorithms for wireless sensor networks, DCOSS '05 is intended to cover several aspects of distributed computing in sensor systems such as high level abstractions, computational models, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, analysis and applications. The conference will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above high-level aspects of distributed sensor systems. In addition to contributed papers, the meeting will also include keynote addresses by leading researchers, a panel discussion, and a poster/presentation session. Located in Marina del Rey, a beach side community that is the home of the world's largest man-made harbor, the meeting venue can be easily reached from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Most of the world famous attractions of the greater Los Angeles area - including the Santa Monica mountains, the Getty Center, Hollywood, Venice Beach, Disneyland, and Universal Studios can be easily reached from the Marina. SPONSORED BY IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (TCDP) Held in co-operation with ACM SIGARCH ACM SIGBED European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) IFIP WG 10.3 MEETING INFORMATION The advance program will be available in April 2005. Check http://www.dcoss.org/ for updated information. IMPORTANT DATES January 10, 2005 Conference Submission Due March 15, 2005 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection April 15, 2005 Camera-Ready Paper Due ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ============================== CALL FOR PAPERS Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. While much ongoing research has addressed networking, communication and low-level self-configuration issues in such systems, there are also significant challenges pertaining to systematic design, algorithm development and analysis, and abstract modeling in order to achieve efficient and robust realizations of large-scale distributed sensor systems. The large number of sensor devices involved, severe power, computational and memory limitations, resource heterogeneity, dense deployment and frequent failures pose novel challenges to design, algorithms, analysis and implementation. The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Computation and programming models - Energy models, minimization, awareness - Distributed algorithms for collaborative information processing - Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability, fault-tolerance - Abstractions for modular design - Languages, operating systems - Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration - Dynamic resource management - Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level) - Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives - Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment and operation - Design automation and application synthesis techniques - Case studies: lessons from real world deployments Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed sensor systems. Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 14 single-spaced pages using 12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables. References may be included in addition to the 14 pages. Authors need to make sure that the electronically submitted files are formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal. Submission procedures are available via Web access at http://www.dcoss.org/ All manuscripts will be reviewed. Manuscripts must be received by January 10, 2005, by 5 p.m. U.S. Pacific Coast Time. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by March 15, 2005. Camera-ready papers will be due April 15, 2005. DCOSS '05 Proceedings will be distributed at the Conference. PROGRAM CHAIR Viktor K.

Call for Paper DAIS'05

von Hartmut König

Please excuse if you received that Call for Papers several times. ===================================================================== ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS DAIS 2005 5th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems Athens, Greece June 15-17, 2005 http://www.di.uoa.gr/dais-fmoods-2005/ To be held in conjunction with FMOODS2005 (Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems) ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The emergence of 4th generation communication systems, the evolution of the Internet technologies, the convergence of the telecom and datacom, wireless and fixed communication systems and applications pave the path for ubiquitous service and application provision. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. Today, systematic application development support is lacking for the emerging wide spectrum of distributed systems ranging from ambient intelligence to global computing scenarios. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'05 will focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications within all kinds of computing environments. DAIS'05 is the fifth event in a series of successful international conferences, which started in 1997. DAIS'05 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'05 will include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and work-in-progress presentations. CONFERENCE THEMES In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS'05 especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics: - software architectures and frameworks for application reconfiguration and adaptation, - component frameworks (e.g. CORBA Components, EJB,.NET), - autonomous systems and architectures, - modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and adaptive applications, - support for self-organisation and autonomic behaviour in distribution platforms, - application infrastructures for Service-oriented Architectures and Web Services, - application environments for specific technologies (e.g. GRID computing, mobile and wireless), - issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application integration, model-driven development and testing, - application management and tuning, - development methodologies for ambient intelligence and sensor net applications, - semantic interoperability and semantic web services. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES DAIS'2005 seeks submissions for: - Full technical papers in no more than 12 pages (about 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 simulta- neously for publication elsewhere. They will be refereed by the Pro- gram Committee. Accepted full papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. Submission format: PDF using the Springer LNCS style. IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: February 1, 2005 Work-in-progress papers: February 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2005 Camera ready version: April 7, 2005 Conference dates: June 15-17, 2005 VENUE & EVENT DAIS'05, organized by the Communications Network Laboratory of the University of Athens, will be held in Athens, Greece, colocated with the 7th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS'05). The accompanying programme of shared satellite workshops -- a call for workshop proposals is issued separately -- will in particular include a Ph.D workshop giving young researchers an international platform to present their results.

re:[ifip-tc6] Ramon is WCC 2006 IPC chair

von Ramon Puigjaner

Dear Otto and all the TC6, Otto, thank you very much for your encouraging words and by your own commitment. Like you I expect the support of all the TC6 members that promised some kind of help in Bangkok and the positive critiques of those that think, for different reasons, that I have taken the wrong decision. I am intending the create the IPC in which there will be the TPC chairs of all the conferences that will run in parallel in Santiago. So, as soon as you can, indicate the names of these persons. Best regards Ramon > Dear all, > > as you have already heard by himself, Ramon has finally accepted > to serve as IPC chair for WCC 2006 in Santiago de Chile. > This was a very difficult decision for him but we knew (at least some of us > knew) that he was extremely interested in this "burden" since his > heart beats first in Spain but secondly and not less strongly in Latin > America. > The topic was thoroughly discussed in Bangkok and TC6 promised to arrange > events for Santiago: > - tutorials > - conferences (Netcon, MWCN,...) > - LANC 2006 > - and, last but not least, meeting 2006/2. > Now we will have to satisfy these promises.
