Dear all,
the IFIP treasurer (Dipak Khakhar, email see below) has presented
the TC budgets (see annex) and in particular the DCSC (developing country
support committee) funds for 2005.
*** If a TC6 conference wants to get a support from DCSC
then the organisor should send a request as soon as possible
to Dipak (deadline August 16) with a copy to me. ***
DCSC could be interesting for (at least) the following conferences in 2005:
Working Conference on Networking for Metropolitan Area Networks;
Working Conference on Electronic Government
WG 6.2 + 6.11;
March 28 - 31, 2005; Ho-Chi-Minh City (Vietnam);
Open Conference; 7th Conference on Mobile and Wireless Communications
Networks (MWCN'05)
WG6.2 + WG6.8 + IEEE
Fall, 2005; Marrakesh (Morocco);
Email contact: Hamid Aghvami
Best regards
Otto

>Dear colleagues,
>
>Please find the TCs budget in the attachment.
Please note that I have budgeted 20000 EUR for DCSC grants for year 2005
in IFIP budget.
I am looking forward to grant requests from you, if possible before 16 August
so that I can put approved grant in DCSC report.
Please note that the same condition as previous years applies to the grant.
That is to developing country which are full members of IFIP.

==================================================================================
I have received a request, for IFIP tecnhical co-sponsorship of the ICN'06
conference from the organizer (Prof. Alain Sentini). The conference is
already technically sponsored by IEEE. The conference will take place in
Mauricius. More information can be found at:
<http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html>
http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html
Mauricius information society is already member of IFIP, but we don't have a
representative at TC6. Prof Nawaz Mohamudally at the Technical University of
Mauritius has interest in Networks and might be interested in becoming TC6
national delegate.
Let me know, if you want me to pursue further the above two possibilities,
i.e., what WGs are interested in endorsing ICN 2006 and if we want to invite
Prof. Nawaz to become a TC6 delegate.

Raouf

Subject: ICN 2006 < http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html >
Salut Rauf,
J'arrive de la Réunion où Pascal Annelli me demande au nom de Pascal Lorenz,
de l'aider à associer les institutions mauriciennes concernées à ICN06 qui
aura lieu à Maurice < http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html >.
Au titre de secrétaire de ICTKMA qui représente Maurice à l'IFIP, je lui ai
proposé d'en faire un "IFIP event".
Pour cela il doit falloir d'abord le blessing du TC6, puisque cela relève de
vos compétences bien plus que des miennes.
Il s'agit d'une conf IEEE, il suffirait donc que vous soyez d'accord pour
qu'on y rajoute le logo IFIP.
Faire ça à travers ICTKMA permettra d'associer d'un seul coup l'université,
l'univ de technologie etc. On pourrait même en profiter pour demander à
Nawaz Mohamudally de représenter Maurice au TC6. Il travaille à l'Université
de Technologie et je crois qu'il s'intéresse aux réseaux. je ne sais pas au
juste quelle est la procédure, mais tu peux sans doute l'aider.

********************* UIC-06 *************************
The 3rd International Conference on
Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06)
- Building Smart Worlds on Real and Cyber Spaces -
http://grid.hust.edu.cn/uic06/
Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST)
Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP
In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying)
Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006
******************************************************
Following ubiquitous computers, networks, information,
services, etc., is a road towards a smart world (SW)
created on both real and cyber spaces. A SW is mainly
characterized by ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or
computational intelligence pervasive in the physical world,
filled with ubiquitous intelligent or smart things,
that are capable of computing, communicating, and behaving
smartly with some intelligence. One of the profound implications
of such ubiquitous smart things is that various kinds and
levels of intelligence will exist ubiquitously in
everyday objects, environments, systems and even ourselves,
and possibly be extended from man-made to natural things.
"Ubicomp" or "percomp" can be regarded as the computing of
all these intelligent/smart things/u-things, that are
essential elements and components of the SW.
A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of
intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive,
reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient,
perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking.
Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field
covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist
to move from the ubiquitous world with universal services of
any means/place/time to the SW of trustworthy services with the
right means/place/time. UIC-06 is a successor of the 2nd Int'l
Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds (UISW2005,
Japan, Dec. 2005) which succeeds the 1st Int'l Workshop on
Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005,Taipei, Mar. 2005). It offers
a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in
developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems
as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues
faced by UI and SWs.
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects
* Electronic Label, Card, E-Tag and RFID
* Embedded Chips, Sensor & Actuator
* MEMS, NEMS, Mote & Biometric Device
* Everyday Good, Artifact, Robot, etc.
* Smart Appliance and Wearable Device
* Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc.
* Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects
* Embedded Software and Agents
2. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Environments
* Room, Home, Office, Laboratory, etc.
* Building, Library, School, Campus, etc.
* Shop, Clinic, Hospital and Health Care
* Street, Yard, Park, Ground, City, etc.
* Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation
* Land, Pool, Space and Hyperspace
* Learning, Sport, Entertainment, etc.
* Novel Intelligent/Smart Applications
3. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Systems
* Sensor, Ad Hoc & Intelligent Networks
* Knowledge Representation and Ontology
* Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems
* OS, Middleware and Intelligent Association
* Intelligent Service Architecture, Grid & Mesh
* Massive Agents, Swarm/Amorphous Systems
* Proactive, Autonomic and Organic Systems
* Novel Intelligent/Smart Systems
4. Personal/Social/Physical Aspects
* Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics
* End-User Interface, Control & Programming
* Social/Natural/Physical Model of UI & SW
* User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition
* Security, Privacy, Trust and Legal/Policy Issues
* Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors
* Implication and Impact of UI and SW
* Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds

PURPOSE / HISTORY:
This set of joint conferences is the largest annual
gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
engineering and applied computing. Each of the 28 joint
conferences in WORLDCOMP is the premier conference for
presentation of advances in their respective fields.
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated
research conferences into a coordinated research meeting
held in a common place at a common time. The main goal
is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number
of research areas that interact. The model used to form
these annual conferences facilitates communication among
researchers in different fields of computer science,
computer engineering and applied computing. Both inward
research (core areas of computer science and engineering)
and outward research (multi-disciplinary, Inter-disciplinary,
and applications) will be covered during the conferences.
PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
Each technical session will have at least 6 paper
presentations (from different authors). The session
chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their
sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
selecting, ... The names of session chairs will appear
as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and
on the cover of the books.
Proposals to organize technical sessions should include
the following information: name and address (+ E-mail)
of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of
the topic of the session, the name of the conference the
session is submitted for consideration, and a short
description on how the session will be advertised (in
most cases, session proposers solicit papers from
colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the
