Subject: IFIP Schools / IFIP Academy
Dear Eduard,
Regarding the Minutes from the last GA:
Item:
4.8 Technical Assembly
IFIP Schools / IFIP Academy
Mr von Solms reported that the document on IFIP Schools that had been
prepared by the TC Chairs has been adopted by the Activity Management
Board (with a minor textual adjustment) and will be proposed to GA for
formal approval as a new type of IFIP event. TA is in agreement with an
IFIP fee of € 2 per participant per day.
The concept of the IFIP Academy will be taken up by a small team and a first
discussion document is expected to be ready for TA in March 2006. Mr J
Wibe will chair the team.
Comment:
Does it exist a complete list of the IFIP Schools which has been
arranged so far?
I suppose they have websites with information about them?
Has these "schools" generated income for IFIP?
Thank you for information if the Secretariat have it.
If not, I do hope that you can send a request to the TC-chairs about it?
Best regards
Jan

The Second International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems
(ICAS 2006) is organized July 19-21 2006 in Silicon Valley, California.
The conference focuses on general concepts of systems automation, and
methodologies and techniques for designing, implementing and deploying
autonomic and autonomous systems. Other special topics are concerning
context-aware networks, services and applications, and the design and
management of self-behavioral networks and services. It is also considering
monitoring, control, and management of autonomous self-aware and
context-aware systems and topics dedicated to specific autonomous entities,
namely, satellite systems, nomadic code systems, mobile networks, and
robots. It has been recognized that modeling (in all forms this activity is
known) is the fundamental for autonomous subsystems, as both managed and
management entities must communicate and understand each other. Small-scale
and large-scale virtualization and model-driven architecture, as well as
management challenges in such architectures are considered.

'Twas the Night Before Start-up'
STATUS OF THIS MEMO
This memo discusses problems that arise and debugging techniques used
in bringing a new network into operation. Distribution of this memo
is unlimited.
DISCUSSION
Twas the night before start-up and all through the net,
not a packet was moving; no bit nor octet.
The engineers rattled their cards in despair,
hoping a bad chip would blow with a flare.
The salesmen were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of data nets danced in their heads.
And I with my datascope tracings and dumps
prepared for some pretty bad bruises and lumps.
When out in the hall there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.
There stood at the threshold with PC in tow,
An ARPANET hacker, all ready to go.
I could see from the creases that covered his brow,
he'd conquer the crisis confronting him now.
More rapid than eagles, he checked each alarm
and scrutinized each for its potential harm.
On LAPB, on OSI, X.25!
TCP, SNA, V.35!
His eyes were afire with the strength of his gaze;
no bug could hide long; not for hours or days.
A wink of his eye and a twitch of his head,
soon gave me to know I had little to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
fixing a net that had gone plumb berserk;
And laying a finger on one suspect line,
he entered a patch and the net came up fine!
The packets flowed neatly and protocols matched;
the hosts interfaced and shift-registers latched.
He tested the system from Gateway to PAD;
not one bit was dropped; no checksum was bad.
At last he was finished and wearily sighed
and turned to explain why the system had died.
I twisted my fingers and counted to ten;
an off-by-one index had done it again...

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical
and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication
technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile
computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just
to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented archi-
tectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid
computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dyna-
micity of distribution constellations.
The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications,
including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting
middleware,
appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experi-
mental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contri-
butions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable,
scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards
service orientation and self-* properties.
DAIS'06 is the sixth event in a series of successful international conferences
which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers, application
and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about
new approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed
computing. Due to the success of the predecessor conferences and the
emergence of many interesting and relevant new topics, DAIS has
recently switched to a one-year-rhythm.
CONFERENCE THEMES

VENUE & EVENT
DAIS'06 will be held in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy, colocated
with the 8th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems
(FMOODS'06) and Coordination'06. Attendants of DAIS'06 will have the
opportunity to attend the sessions of the two colocated conferences.
Bologna, a historical capital of culture, was founded by the Etruscans
in the VI century B.C. Bologna sits in the southern part of the
historically and gastronomically famous Po River plain, a natural
crossroads in northern Italy. Bologna's location was important not only
for the trading of goods but also for the exchanging of ideas and the
disseminating of culture. The Università di Bologna, founded in 1088 is
the oldest university in the western world.
Bologna is famous for its porticoes. Dating back to the 12th century the
porticoes were used to enlarge houses to support the growing University
community. Today 350,000 people call Bologna their home, of which 100,000
are students. Bologna, Italy's culinary capital, is also famous for its
food. Furthermore, Bologna is surrounded by the famous food/wine regions
of Parma, Modena, and Tuscany.
Bologna is very accessible, being served by an international airport and
one of the main hubs of the Italian railway system. Within easy access
is Florence (1 hour), Milan (1.5 hours), Venice (1.5 hours), Rome (2.4
hours) and the ubiquitous Italian countryside of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.

I agree with Harry that WG6.11 should be the focus within TC6 (although
other working groups may have things to contribute) but Ms. Ghernaouti
should also get TC11 involved. Does WG6.11 have the appropriate
contacts?
Regards
Peter

Guy, thanks for the retransmission.
After what Ramon and Otto wrote, it would seem to me that Ms. Ghernaouti
should simply take this up with WG6.11. The topic is certainly
important but the writeup is written in rather poor English.
With best regards,
Harry
