Dear potential Speaker:
This is an invitation for you to attend two IPSI BgD multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary conferences, one in Hawaii, and one in Amalfi, as follows:
IPSI-2005 HAWAII
Big Island Hawaii (arrival: 06.01.2005. departure: 09.01.2005.)
Deadlines: 1 October 2004 (abstract) + 30 October 2004 (full paper)
IPSI-2005 AMALFI
Amalfi, Italy (arrival: 17.02.2005. departure: 20.02.2005.)
Deadlines: 17 October 2004 (abstract) + 7 December 2004 (full papers)
If you like to obtain more information on both conferences, please reply to this email. All IPSI BgD conferences are non-profit! They bring together the elite of the world science (so far, 7 times a Nobel Laureate was talking at the opening ceremony), and they take place in the leading hotels of the world.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Internet, Computer Science and Engineering, Management and Business Administration, Education, e-Medicine, Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering, Environment Protection, and e-Economy. These conferences are in line with the newest recommendations of NSF and EU to stress multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research, and truly support this type of scientific interraction.
Sincerely Yours,
Prof. V. Milutinovic, Chairman
PS - If you plan to submit an abstract/paper, let us know immediately. If you are not able to attend now, but you like to be informed about the future IPSI BgD conferences, please let us know. If you do not like to receive future invitations, let us know, as well!

network measurement and monitoring security and resiliency
peer-to-peer/overlay protocols routing protocols
wireless and mobile networks ad-hoc and sensor networks
QoS and signaling flow and congestion control
multimedia distributed gaming
The primary author of a poster submission must be a student. While the
poster need not describe completed work, it should report on research
for which at least preliminary results are available.
Poster proposals must be submitted as a single postscript or pdf file
with no more than 2 pages. The first page must contain an abstract
describing the research content of the poster, along with title,
authors, institutional affiliations and contact information.

Dear Mr. Dundler:
As directed by Prof. Basie von Solms, I am herewith sending the following
attachment to be distributed to TC Chairs before they leave for
Toulouse....
_________________________________
Dear Basie & TC Chairs:
I have been thinking about suggesting a change in bylaws to accomplish the
following:
Any TC can establish SIG's Special Interest Groups, which would be treated
like Working Groups, but must convert either to a WG or disband after 5
years.
Any TC or Working Group can establish a Task Force with a specific study
mission, limited life span and be disbanded.
The Specialist Group can have Working Groups, but must convert either to a
TC or be dissolved.
I've had some feedback from Leon Strous and we generated the following
schematic (see attachment 1).
Attachment 1 :
Second, I generated (not being a Parliamentarian) suggestions to changes
in the bylaws (see attachment 2)
Attachment 2 :
Thirdly, I received suggestions relating to the bylaw changes from Leon
Strous (see his comments & bylaw changes below)
Dear Gus,
in the meantime I took a closer look at the proposed changes to the
Statutes & Bylaws. I have made some additional changes, also in the order
of the articles to make it a more logical sequence. In order not to
confuse a lot of red coloured changes, I have used only red for a part
that needs additional text / work.
The most notable changes concern the membership of a SG, this cannot be
exactly the same as for a TC, especially not at the start of it. Let me
know what you think of my proposal.
A suggestion which relates to your powerpoint figure is the name of a
working group of an SG. I would just call this a working group and not a
Special Working Group.
kind regards,
Leon
