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);

Given your deadline the following comments have to be taken as "first
pass"!
I agree with Harry that the terms used are a little confusing; it would
be better to say a "simplified digital library" or "basic digital
library" rather than introduce an additional term like "electronic
repository".
There is an ambiguity in that "free" could mean either "at no cost" or
"with no restriction". Which of these is meant in step 1.c should be
made clear (or maybe it's both)! I'm not sure that I would want to
commit to either of them for the future (see below).
Similarly, there might be various interpretations of "when feasible".
What makes it infeasible: lack of effort, lack of money or legal
restrictions such as copyright.
I'm not sure that "source versions of IFIP publications" is necessary.
If the archive is to be useful, it should be possible to retrieve the
contents at some time in the future. It would be better to have
everything in one format, rather than having to use one of twenty
versions (well, maybe not 20 but...) of Word, WordPerfect, Wordstar ...
at some time in the future. Do the conversion NOW while we still have
the programs.
Equally, I'm not sure that "passwords" are the right mechanism to
control access, if access is to be controlled. They can be passed around
too easily and there are lots of problems with managing them. I think
the statement on page should be technology neutral and we should not
commit to passwords. Digital Rights Management or Content Management may
come up with something or it may be better to use digital keys of some
sort.
Finally, money! Most of the paper seems to assume that no-one gets
charged for accessing the material in the digital library but someone
has to pay, at least for the cost of running the system, even if it
doesn't make any money for IFIP. ("You have to make a profit to be
pious".) My view is that IFIP should look at the options and the
business models for pay to view (or even pay to submit) before it
commits to a long-term digital library that makes no charges. It may be
that someone like Google would be prepared to operate the digital
library at no cost to IFIP because it (Google) believes it could make
enough money from advertising (perhaps with adverts for related
conferences, books, etc). IFIP ought to explore this - and I'd be
interested in Guy Leduc's views on the question of charging.
I hope this helps!
Regards
Peter
PS I also agree with Harry that "the real work lies ahead"

Thank you very much for your comments.
My feeling is that by using the term "electronic repository" it was
intended to denote a "simplified digital librar".
This is expressed in page 3: "The digital library can be developed
incrementally, beginning with a simple repository and later adding more
capabilities".
Thus we have three things:
a. Electronic archive: For the past events. And also as a backup
storage
in case that there would be unforeseen
problems
with the digital library.
b. Electronic Repository: A first step towards a *real* digital
library.
First with limited functionality such as
paper abstracts and (whenever possible)
extended abstracts.
c. Digital library: The final step. The intermediate step b.
is intended to speed up the process since
we cannot wait four more years (until 2009)
which is the validity of the actual Springer
contract during which a DL has to be
established
by Springer. In clear text: Springer could
theoretically
wait for that until the end of the contract
period.

Otto

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
MED HOC NET 2006
The Fifth Annual
MEDITERRANEAN AD HOC NETWORKING
Workshop
http://www.medhoc.diit.unict.it/2006/
June 14-17 2006
Lipari, Italy
************************************************************
Ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research
community in the last several years. Now that some of the
fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have
been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to
new issues, which include application scenarios (road
safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.),
autonomous Organization and operation, optimization and
control, service creation and support, middleware. Moreover,
wireless MESH networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off"
aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm
with more traditional networking, which poses new and
exciting technical challenges.
Med-Hoc-Net 2006 is the major annual international workshop
aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and
visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from
all over the world. Sharing ideas, views, results, and
experiences in the field of wireless multi-hop networking is
what Med-Hoc-Net 2006 intends to be about. Anything from
theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad
hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of
interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community.
The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2006 cover a variety of
topics related to ad hoc and MESH networks, including but
not limited to:
- Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures
- Routing algorithms and protocols
- MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio
resource sharing
- Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks
- Middleware for ad hoc networks
- Application driven architectures and protocols
- Sensor network applications and protocols
- Vehicular networks
- Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access
networks
- Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes
- Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee,
IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, etc.)
- Self organization and network reconfiguration
- Optimization models and algorithms
- Resource and service discovery
- Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc
networks
- Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming,
etc.)
- QoS support
- Security and privacy
The members of program committee will referee all papers,
and accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be published in
the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks journal.

practical/technological content than the research presented in the main
conference.
Both workshops will be held on Sunday June 18, 2006. Workshop papers
will be published (full text) in a separate DCOSS 06 workshops
proceedings volume, and will be presented during the workshop.
Attendance at the DCOSS workshops is included in the registration fee
for DCOSS.
