Re: [ifip-tc6] Publisher's Rationale for IFIP LNCS/ LNCS costs

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, here is a first reaction from Guy Leduc (TC6 delegate from Belgium) concerning the "explanation" obtained from Jennifer Evans who tried to explain the price differences between Springer LNCS and Springer IFIP LNCS. A small comment: My explanation of the reason for price difference is quite easy (and, unfortunately, maybe true): If Springer employees need two month in order to produce such an "elaborated" document, i.e. if two month working time is wasted for such a poor few lines, then it is no wonder that the company will be in financial trouble and must ask for substantially higher prices. Best regards Otto Spaniol -------------------------------------------------------------------- >Dear All: > >To follow up on the IFIP Publications Committee Meeting, I have >delineated several points in the rationale for IFIP LNCS series pricing >below: > >1. SpringerHD/LNCS is selling its product at high discounts - up to 64% >off list prices. For large bulk sales of proceedings with a page count >exceeding 800 pages or occupying two volumes, the discounts increase >considerably. Still unclear. I'd like to see a reference document where the discount is clearly stated, possibly as a function of the page count or other criteria. 'Up to 64%' does not say anything about 'At least ...%'. > >2. IFIP LNCS projects cause a substantial amount of additional effort >during the entire cycle of project administration at the LNCS editorial >office, as well as in the overall society cooperation, than regular LNCS >projects. Are we going to believe this? Adding the IFIP logo on a book, and adding a copyright sentence on the front page of every paper can be part of the automated formating procedure. > >3. Due to IFIP copyright policy, etc., IFIP LNCS proceedings also >require significantly more effort at the pre-production and production >work level. I don't believe this. I don't see which additional effort is required. The only tricky business is to estimate the amount of royalties due to IFIP (and it's covered in item 4 below). > >4. The publication fee paid for IFIP LNCS proceedings to IFIP is paid as >an up-front payment which has to be pre-financed by Springer. > I understand Springer has to pre-finance the royalties (which are 10% on the estimated non bulk sales). But this is not a reason to sell the (bulk and non bulk) IFIP LNCS at 30% higher price than standard LNCS! We could easily simplify this by changing the agreement and replace the up-front payment of royalties based on ESTIMATED sales by a post payment based on ACTUAL non bulk sales. I'd advise to do so. >I hope that the above helps explain the necessity of a price discrepancy >between the IFIP LNCS series and the regular LNCS series. Please let me >know if you have any questions Now, I'm convinced Springer is really cheating. It is clear that few conference organizers will accept to publish in IFIP LNCS under these conditions. They will just go for standard LNCS and we'll have no rational argument against it. And the IFIP primary series is of course not at all a substitute for IFIP LNCS as it's not attractive at all. It's urgent to start the IFIP TC6 DL and say bye bye to Springer...

Final CFP: IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems

von Moustafa Youssef

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Second IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems (DSSNS'2006) http://www.dssns.org In conjunction with 2nd NASA/IEEE Systems and Software Week 30th NASA/IEEE Software Engineering Workshop (SEW'2006) Columbia, Maryland, USA ~ April 24-28, 2006 Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use of networked sensors in applications such as smart environments, disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that networked sensors will play a complementary role that enhances the quality of these applications, recent research results have encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on sensor networks and systems (SN&S) in such critical and sensitive applications. Therefore to realize their potential, necessary dependability and security (D&S) measures have to be incorporated in the design and during the operation of SN&S. Dependability is usually specified using attributes like reliability, survivability, safety, maintainability, and availability in presence of failure, while security is specified by attributes like integrity, authenticity, confidentiality, and availability in presence of attacks. D&S services accomplish tasks for attack and failure prevention, detection and response. The scope of D&S services may span the deployed sensors to command nodes and likely beyond. It also involves D&S support at, and cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers from physical to application. Achieving dependability and security in SN&S will require non-conventional mechanisms due to many factors including: (1) sensors are significantly constrained in the amount of available resources such as energy, storage and computation; (2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large numbers in normal as well as harsh/hostile environments; (3) sensor networks suffer from structural weakness and limited physical protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due to the un-tethered nature of SN&S and of the potential attackers. In addition, D&S requirements may vary according to mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data collection), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on dependability and security in SN&S. Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: - Fault and intrusion-tolerant architectures, middleware and operational models - Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data - D&S architectures, protocols and tools - Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures - Monitoring and evaluation techniques - Robust clustering techniques - Self-awareness and context-awareness - Resilient virtual infrastructures - Autonomic and adaptive D&S support. - Formal representation and verification of D&S properties - Network inference support for D&S - Quality of service provisioning - Models, metrics, and measurements for D&S - Privacy-aware D&S services - Testbeds, simulation and visualization - Agent-based D&S management - SN&S support for D&S in larger information grids - SN&S application development environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. The manuscript should not exceed 20 single-column double-space pages in PDF format, font size 11 or larger. The first page should include title, authors' contact information, abstract and five keywords. Please e-mail (subject: DSSNS 2006) the paper as an attachment in PDF format to: submission(a)dssns.org The e-mail should include title, authors, and the corresponding author's contact information. Important Dates ---------------- Submission deadline: November 7, 2005 Decision notification: December 20, 2005 Final manuscript due: January 20, 2006 The accepted papers will appear in a proceedings published by IEEE. The best paper will be recognized and selected papers will be invited to a Special Issue of the Journal of Ad Hoc and Sensor Wireless Networks.

Fwd: Publisher's Rationale for IFIP LNCS/ LNCS costs

von Otto Spaniol

---------------- Anfang Weiterleitung ---------------- Betreff: Publisher's Rationale for IFIP LNCS/ LNCS costs Gesendet: Montag, 31. Oktober 2005 11:09 Uhr Von: IFIP Mailbox, Springer US <ifip(a)springer-sbm.com> An: spaniol(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de , brunnstein(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de , turner(a)cs.clemson.edu , rgj(a)dcs.bbk.ac.uk , eduard.dundler(a)ifip.org Dear All: To follow up on the IFIP Publications Committee Meeting, I have delineated several points in the rationale for IFIP LNCS series pricing below: 1. SpringerHD/LNCS is selling its product at high discounts - up to 64% off list prices. For large bulk sales of proceedings with a page count exceeding 800 pages or occupying two volumes, the discounts increase considerably. 2. IFIP LNCS projects cause a substantial amount of additional effort during the entire cycle of project administration at the LNCS editorial office, as well as in the overall society cooperation, than regular LNCS projects. 3. Due to IFIP copyright policy, etc., IFIP LNCS proceedings also require significantly more effort at the pre-production and production work level. 4. The publication fee paid for IFIP LNCS proceedings to IFIP is paid as an up-front payment which has to be pre-financed by Springer. I hope that the above helps explain the necessity of a price discrepancy between the IFIP LNCS series and the regular LNCS series.
