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)

Dear TC6 members,
The deadline for hotel registration in Libon ended yesterday. I managed to
get an extension of that deadline until September 13th. Please remember that
the hotel cannot guarantee rooms after that date. I would thank also that
those of you who come to the Lisbon meeting, but are not staying in the
Melia Hotel, please let me know.
Best regards
Augusto
Dear all,
until now (approx. four hours since sending my corresonding
message) only one -but very detailed and constructive - answer
has been obtained concerning the IFIP strategy document.
We need an earlier deadine since
Basie von Solms leaves for Europe already on June 6 and needs
the comments by June 5.
Thus either you send your comments directly to him
or send it to me *** until June 1 ***. (June 4 + 5 are holidays
in catholic countries).
Best regards
Otto
Dear all,
Samir Tohme (the French delegate to TC6) has informed me that he
wants to resign due to his health problems which make longer
trips difficult or impossible for him. (See below).
This decision is very regrettable but what can we do?
Jean-Claude Laprie (the French representative in IFIP GA)
has nominated Guy PUJOLLE (chairman of WG 6.2) as his successor.
Guy has already accepted the nomination.
Welcome Guy in your new function! We look very much forward
towards further good cooperation. Do you have any ideas already who could
take over the chairmanship of WG 6.2.? (Since your term would have come
near to its end anyway).
And for you, Samir: We deeply regret that you cannot be
any longer the French delegate to TC6. My suggestion is that you
attend if possible our next meeting in Paris (September 29+30
in Paris) in order to make an official and nice farewell. We promise
to make a particuler event for you at this occasion.
Thank you very much for your contributions in the last 15 years.
We'll stay in contact!
Best regards
Otto
---------------------------------------------------------------
Message received from Samir Tohme
(if necessary, we can translate it to Englsih language):
Cher Otto
Je viens d'envoyer un email a Guy en te mettant en copie
pour lui annoncer que je souhaite le retirer de la representation
aupres du TC6. C'est avec un grand regret que je le fais apres
15 annees de presence passees avec vous. Comme je l'ai dit a
Guy, ce n'est pas par manque de motivation que je le fais mais
c'est pour menager ma sante car depuis mon operation je tente de
limiter les longs voyages.
Amities
Samir

as practical and industrial experiences, with an emphasis on contributions
to solve the many still open research problems that are of significant
impact to the field of service oriented applications. Topics include but are
not limited to the following:
* Business Service Modeling: Methods and tools for capturing business goals
and requirements, Decomposition into business services, Business
processes, Business policies, Modeling, analysis, and simulation,
Specification of functional and non-functional quality requirements;
* Service Assembly: Development and Discovery: Model-driven development,
Service composition architectures, Service registries, Service discovery
mechanisms, Semantic matching, Methods and tools for service development,
Governance, Verification and validation, Deployment strategies;
* Service Management: Instrumentation and service related data aggregation,

Definition of deployment topology, Infrastructure configuration,
Problem determination for SOAs, ITIL processes, Change management in
live systems.
* SOA Runtime: Service Bus for mediation, transformation and routing,
Runtime registry, Integration of legacy applications, Information
services for data access and data integration, Scalability, Topology
and Optimization, Service oriented middleware, Policy-based
configuration & Workload management
* Quality of Service: Reliable Service-Oriented Computing, Security and
Privacy in Service-Oriented Computing, SLA and Policy specification,
QoS Negotiation, Autonomic management of service levels, Empirical
Studies and Benchmarking of QoS, Performance and Dependability prediction
in SOA;
* Grid Services: Services and architecture for management of infrastructural
resources, Data and Compute intensive applications, Execution and resource
allocation services for job scheduling, Protocols for coordination across
multiple resource managers, Business value based allocation, Innovative
Strategies for Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and
Organizations, Prototype systems and Toolkits.
There will be two independent tracks for Research and Industrial papers,
each managed by a different program committee and with a different set of
evaluation criteria. The authors must clearly indicate the track to which
the paper is being submitted.
* Research Papers: The conference is soliciting original research papers on
all aspects of web services and service-oriented computing. The
submissions should contain results which advance the state of the art in
service-oriented systems, either through theoretical analysis or
experimental analysis. They should clearly establish the research
contribution, the relevance to service-oriented computing and the relation
to prior research. Submitted papers will be judged according to their
scientific merit and evaluated on significance, originality, technical
quality, and presentation.
* Industrial and Application Papers: ICSOC'06 places a strong emphasis on
its industrial program and encourages submissions covering the application
of service-oriented computing in practice, including papers describing
innovative service-based implementations, novel applications of service
oriented technology, and major improvements to the state-of-practice.
Actual case studies from practitioners emphasizing applications, service
technology, system deployment, organizational ramifications, or business
impact are especially welcomed. Industrial and application papers should
give sufficient details on the application domain, on the service oriented
techniques that have been used, on the issues surrounding actual
implementations and applications, and on the lessons learned in developing
service oriented applications. The papers submitted to this track can
range from a few page extended abstract to a full paper. The track will
also include a small number of invited visionary papers.
All papers should be submitted electronically in PDF and in Springer/LNCS
format. Research and industrial papers are not to exceed 12 pages. Abstracts
for research and application papers - not exceeding 200 words - need to be
submitted one week prior to the paper submission deadline. All submissions
should include title, authors, full contact information, and references.
Submissions should indicate at least two main topics and the scientific area
(or areas) that best fit the paper. For selected papers, authors will be
given the opportunity to submit a one-page reply, within one week, to answer
to the reviewers' concerns. This is done in the effort to improve the paper
selection process and make sure that papers are not rejected based on some
misunderstanding or erroneous interpretation by the reviewers that is easy
to correct in preparing the final version. All accepted papers will appear
in the ICSOC'06 archival proceedings, published by Springer.

industry. In particular, these workshops should bring together scientists
that are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging
their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. They also aim
at the promotion of research and development for the improvement of formal
methods and tools for industrial applications.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
-----------------
Submissions must be made electronically through the FMICS Web site. There
are two categories of submissions:
A. Regular papers: Papers should be up to 16 pages in LNCS format, with a
clear abstract. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked
appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee.
All submissions must report on original research. Submitted papers must
not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published
proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other
conference. Any partial overlap with any such published or concurrently
submitted paper must be clearly indicated.
B. Tool presentations: Submissions, not exceeding 4 pages using LNCS
format, should describe the implemented tool and its novel features. A
demonstration is expected to accompany a tool presentation.
PUBLICATION
-----------
Accepted regular and tool papers will be published after the meeting
jointly with accepted papers from PDMC'06 in an LNCS volume.
As last year, the European Association of Software Science and Technology
will be offering an award to the best FMICS paper.
