Dear TC6 friends,
I wish you all my best wishes for 2007!
Relax a bit during the Xmas Holidays (if you have
any), because we'll soon have to work hard to
rescue IFIP (TC6) :-)
Best regards,
Guy

Dear All,
I received the following greeting from a lawyer friend:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an
environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive,
gender neutral celebration of the summer solstice holiday, practiced with
the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices
of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or
traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular
traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar
year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other
cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great
(not to imply that South Africa is necessarily greater than any other
country) and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms :-
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely
transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no
promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for
her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable
at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as
expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one
year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes
first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a
new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a
significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.
The same message from me:
Happy Christmas and a great 2007.

Notification for poster acceptance: July 23rd, 2007
Submissions:
------------
RAID 2007 invites four types of submissions:
1. Full papers presenting mature research results: Papers accepted for
presentation will be included in the RAID 2006 proceedings
published by Springer Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html)
series. Papers are limited to 20 pages when formatted according to
the instructions provided by Springer Verlag
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), and must include
an abstract and a list of keywords.
2. Short papers presenting original work that has not yet reached the
maturity required for a full paper. These are limited to 10 pages
using the same format required for full papers. Short papers can
describe new research results or practical experience that
demonstrates the limitations and capabilities of existing
approaches to intrusion detection and network security. They will
be reviewed by the program committee, and accepted papers will be
included in the proceedings (in short form - not expanded to full
papers - and with "Short paper" in the title) and presented orally
during the symposium (in shorter speaking slots).
3. Posters describing work in progress: submissions must consist of a
one-page abstract.
4. Panel proposals for presenting and discussing hot topics in the
field of intrusion detection systems: The panel proposals should
include both an outline of the format of the panel and a short
rationale for the panel. Panels that include time for general
discussion and questions-answers between the panelists and the
audience are preferred.
All submissions (papers, panel, and poster proposals) must be
submitted electronically, details will be provided at a later
date. Papers should list all authors and their affiliations; in case
of multiple authors, the contact author must be indicated (RAID does
not require anonymized submissions). For accepted papers, it is
required that at least one of the authors attends the conference to
present the paper. Further questions on the submission process may be
sent to the program chair. Submissions must not substantially
duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has
submitted in parallel to a journal or to any other conference or
workshop with proceedings. Simultaneous submission of the same work to
multiple venues, submission of previously published work, and
plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud. RAID, like other scientific
and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and
may, on the recommendation of the program chair, take action against
authors who have committed them.

International Conference on
COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
20th and 21st September 2007
Edinburgh, Scotland
http://conferences.inf.ed.ac.uk/cmsb07/
The CMSB (Computational Methods in Systems Biology) conference series
was established in 2003 to help catalyze the convergence of modellers,
physicists, mathematicians, and theoretical computer scientists from
fields such as language design, concurrency theory, program
verification, and molecular biologists, physicians, neuroscientists
interested in a systems-level understanding of cellular physiology and
pathology.
CMSB'07 solicits original research articles (including significant
works-in-progress), surveys of current research and posters. These may
cover theoretical or applied contributions that are motivated by a
biological question and can demonstrate either actual or potential
usefulness towards answering that question. They may also cover models
of computation inspired by biological processes; the motivation may be
as much computational as biological. Particularly relevant case
studies and open issues from the biological side that demands modeling
of systems are of interest as well. The introduction of formal models
should be supported by theoretical arguments about the model and/or on
the analyses that they enable, by comparisons with other network
models, and/or by examples of representation and analysis of a
biological system.
Topics of interest include, among others:
1. Biological systems and networks: inference, properties, modeling,
dynamics, simulation and reverse engineering
2. Formal methods for drug discovery and design
3. Methods to predict biological network behavior from incomplete
information
4. Models including symbolic evolution and learning
5. Models of self-assembly
6. Detailed case-studies on how a biological question was successfully
addressed using formal models
7. Emergence of properties in complex biological systems
8. Theoretical comparisons between different formal models of cellular
processes
9. Differential, discrete and/or stochastic modeling-language frameworks
10. Quantitative formal languages
11. Biologically-inspired extensions to concurrency theory, constraint
programming, logical methods or language equivalences
12. Computer models in nano-sciences applied to biological domains
13. Definition and study of theoretical properties of
biologically-inspired formal languages
14. Biological data bases and exchange formats for biological data and
standards

Dear all,
since many delegates wish PEACE for 2007 I cannot withstand from
giving you some nice wishes (for the year 1884!).
They stem from a priest in Münster (Germany)
and it is absolutely impossible to translate them into English.
Thus maybe 30 percent (or more?) of TC6 delegates will be
able to understand. I apologize.
All the best for 2007

HERR,
setze dem Überfluss Grenzen und lasse die Grenzen überflüssig werden!
Lasse die Leute kein falsches Geld machen und auch das Geld keine
falschen Leute!
Nimm den Ehefrauen das letzte Wort und erinnere die Ehemänner an ihr erstes!
Schenke unseren Freunden mehr Wahrheit und der Wahrheit mehr Freunde!
Bessere solche Beamte, Geschäfts- und Arbeitsleute, die wohl tätig, aber
nicht wohltätig sind.
Gib den Regierenden ein gutes Deutsch und den Deutschen eine gute Regierung!
