Augusto, Otto, Guy (and everybody else!)
I have had an exchange of e-mails with Roger Johnson (including forwarding
Guy's reference to the ACM's new series).
It looks as if it is taking much longer than predicted to sign a contract.
(What a surprise...!)
Some of what Roger told me is commercially confidential at the moment but I
will do my best to get a distributable update before the May TC6 meeting.
On the Kluwer / Springer / LNCS situation, I believe I can say that there
were two responses from the existing organisations because they were not
allowed (for legal reasons) to submit a "joint" bid. The legal restrictions
may disappear soon.
There are some important meetings to be held in the next few weeks and
nothing will become settled until these have been held.
I hope things will become clearer before the TC6 meeting

Subject: RE: [ifip-tc6] ACM new international proceedings series
Dear Otto,
Let me give my opinion on the publishing of TC6 conference proceedings. As
you know this was a point in which we have worked hard during the last
years. We reached a situation in 2003, in which a large number of our
conferences were publishing in the LNCS of Springer and a few ones were
publishing in Kluwer. This seemed to be an acceptable situation because, as
far as I know, the publication in the LNCS of Springer resolved most of our
concerns and our conference organisers were happy too.
We knew that we had to take a decision in 2004 having in view the choice of
a new publisher by IFIP. However, we have been told by the editor of the
LNCS that the continuation of TC6 publication in LNCS would be welcome
regardless of the new choice of IFIP.
I do not know at all what were the conditions offered in the different bids
of the publishers to IFIP. However, I think, and this was my knowledge after
the last GA in 2003, that the bid from LNCS would be a different one from
the new Kluwer/Springer. This needs to be confirmed, but if this is the
case, it means that we still have two possibilities for publication: new
Kluwer/Springer or LNCS.
Of course we need to analyse the new possibilities that are opened to us
with the new Kluwer/Springer and the ACM series of proceedings referred by
Guy. However, to change again of publisher in our conferences, I feel that
we must have clear advantages in the new offers.
In order to be able to take a decision in our next meeting it would be good
if we could have the exact conditions offered by the new IFIP publisher, to
know which were the conditions offered by the other proposals and to know if
publishing in LNCS is still an option. I hope also that Guy can report on
the ACM proceedings series.
Have a nice weekend
Best regards
Augusto

Hello peter,
yes, please communicate this to Roger Johnson. We might even invite him
to attend our
meeting (as in Tozeur).
But the minimum success would be that we get information about
publication in a very
early stage.

yes, please communicate this to Roger Johnson. We might even invite him
to attend our
meeting (as in Tozeur).
But the minimum success would be that we get information about
publication in a very
early stage.
Best regards
Otto

Dear all,
even if our meeting in Athens is still two month ahead
I recommend to make your flight bookings and hotel reservations as early
as possible
- since flights are beginning to get full already (at least for the
cheaper tariffs)
- and hotels are also quite well booked even today.
Thank you very very much, Ioannis, for providing details about hotels and
room rates.
For those of you who participate in the Networking2004 conference
(I hope that this holds for many delegates!)
a suitable option could be:
Best Western Museum Hotel
Bouboylinas Street 16
Athens
Tel: +30 210523 8038 (ask for Mrs. Palmou).
Fax: +30 210523 1458.
You will have to book the hotel by fax (using the registration form for
the Networking conference, see the conference web pages) and you will have to
provide full credit card information.
This is not liked by everybody but I did it once more for my own reservation
(and probably I will continue to do it until a disastrous financial event
will appear).
The hotel is not directly in the center of Athens but near to it.
One can go by metro or by taxi to the meeting and/or to the town centre.
A taxi should cost at most 5 EURO per trip.
[1 EURO = approx. 1,25 USD].
The hotel is very conveniently located regarding the conference
Networking2004.
5 Minutes walking distance.
Please check <http://www.ece.ntua.gr/networking2004>
and there "HotelInformation".
The hotel is the second out of three which has special rates - these
rates are valid
also for the days of the meeting.
The conference Networking2004 is held in
Park Hotel, 10 Alexandras Avenue, Athens
but this hotel asks for 150 EURO per night instead as of 60 EURO which is the
room rate in th museum hotel.
Apart from the museum hotel or from the park hotel
Ioannis recommends the following four hotels which are nearer to the
meeting location
(see below).
Best wishes and have a nice weekend
Otto

Dear TC6 colleagues
In preparation for the upcoming TC6 meeting, I would like to provide some
information and logistics.
The meeting will take place on Friday and Saturday, May 14 and 15, at the
Old University building of the University of Athens in Plaka (Old Athens),
below the Acropolis. I will send more info about the building in due time.
Its address is: Tholou 5, Plaka, Athens.
I expect that several of you may already be in Athens for the Networking2004
conference. The conference site is http://www.ece.ntua.gr/networking2004/ ,
where also hotel and other useful information may be found.
Those who select the Networking2004 hotel (Park Hotel) or a hotel close by,
will have to go to the TC6 meeting location by taxi (taxis are inexpensive
in Athens, less than 5 Euros for the ride), or walk to
Victoria Station ( Number 3 in Map 4 ), and take METRO LINE1
"Kifissia-Peiraias" in the direction to Peiraias. You get off at Monastiraki
Station ( Number 3 in Map1 ) and walk as marked on the
map (Map 1) towards the TC6 Meeting Venue ( Tholou 5), 10 minutes walk.
Before the week of the meeting I may send more updated info if needed.
If you are coming just for the TC6 meeting and do not have a reason to be
close to the Networking2004 location, you may choose to stay in any other
hotel located in Plaka (closest), or Acropolis, or Syntagma Square areas.
Some of these hotels are listed below, but you may find others as well. You
may find URLs for them by visiting
http://www.athens.greece-hotelsonline.com/index.html
Divani Palace Acropolis Hotel Athens is upscale, AMALIA Hotel is across the
Botanical Garden of Athens and 15-20 minutes walk.
If you have specific desires or you have difficulty finding a hotel, please
let me know and I will try to find something close to your needs.
I would also appreciate sending me a note indicating whether you are coming
to the meeting or not.
Best regards
Ioannis
ps. I attach 4 maps for you to get a sense of the chaotic city-plan of
Athens and the places you will move around.

Dear Otto,
It would be interesting to have (again) an agenda item on
'publications' at the next TC6 meeting. This is a crucial issue.
Especially because I don't see clearly where IFIP is going in this
business.
If I remember correctly, July 1st 2004 opens a new IFIP publication
era/contract with so-called new Springer (KAP, Springer). But what
does it mean in practical terms? I hope we'll get some official
document stating the official IFIP publication policy in due time
before our meeting. If you have it, please circulate it.
Anyway, this new ACM international proceedings series is certainly
worth considering, and I'm ready to present/discuss it in Athens.
Best regards,
Guy

WISP 2004
2nd International Workshop on Security Issues
with Petri Nets and other Computational Models
Bologna (Italy)
26 June 2004
http://www.iit.cnr.it/staff/fabio.martinelli/WISP2004cfp.htm
----------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers
OVERVIEW
The 2nd International Workshop on Security Issues with Petri
Nets and other Computational Models (WISP2004) aims at promoting
research about theoretical foundations of security analysis and
design with formal methods and languages. WISP2004 starts from
the positive experience with WISP2003, held in Eindhoven within
the 24th International Conference on Application and Theory of
Petri Nets (ICATPN'03). WISP2004 is co-located and will be held
just after the 25th International Conference on Application and
Theory of Petri Nets (ICATPN'04). Hence, original papers on the
application of Petri Nets for security issues are particularly
welcome. Also papers on security in other system models are
sought as well.
This year, WISP has a special focus in security aspects related
to coordination, composition and management of complex
e-services. Indeed, the rapid growth of the Internet as a
medium both for communication and computation fostered the
development of commercial products for distributed computation,
business process and workflow management. In such frameworks,
the information is seamlessly exchanged, accessed and manipulated
by many components and users with different goals, privileges
and obligations. Confidentiality, integrity and availability of
information need to be ensured during the whole lifetime
of such e-services, even in presence of abnormal behavior.
Monitoring and enforcing security may be considered much more
challenging than in common communication protocols. Formal
methods communities, and henceforth the Petri nets one, may
successfully contribute also in this area to enrich the existing
set of tools and techniques and thus to enhance user confidence
on e-services.
Suggested submission topics include:
- security issues in orchestration and composition of e-services
- comparison and classification of security models
- formal definition and verification of security, trust and privacy
- information flow analysis
- security issues in probabilistic and real-time models
- mobile code security
- tools and techniques for the formal analysis of security properties
- applications to E/M-commerce
- case studies
WISP2004 is a one-day workshop sponsored by the IFIP WG 1.7 on
"Theoretical Foundations of Security Analysis and Design".
GRANT
INTAS funds are available for supporting (including registration
fees for WISP and ICATPN'04, accommodation, travel) some
scholars and researchers from NIS countries. Priority will be given
to authors of accepted papers.
