TC6 calendar and something else
by Otto Spaniol 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Dear all, please find the new TC6 calendar as attachment. It would be good if you check the entries (in particular if you are a WG chairperson) and if you would communicate missing entries and modifications to me. This is probably necessary since in the hectics of the Toronto meeting not everything was perfectly remembered by me. Some other things (which are relatively serious): 1. In some cases our preplanning is far from being perfect. We don't know too much even about 2006. For example: Even the location of FORTE 2006 has not been decided! Some years ago we have had a six-year plan which now becomes more and more a 6-month plan. 2. Many organisors behave really crazy: - they change the publisher with respect to the announcement in the call for papers without notifying the authors about that, i.e. they don't karmouch (= care much) about the event - others sign an event request form where Kluwer is mentioned as publisher, but thereafter they "decide" to make a printing somewhere in Singapore (even if the conference is in Colmar, France) just for so-called cost reasons even if they ask 350 EURO as registration fee - much of which is for gala dinners; they don't contact PC members for reviewing, they don't inform them about the outcome; they do not invite for a PC meeting; they accept many dozens of papers (with probably questionable overall quality); they ask for best paper awards without any justification; ....... Thus I really urge our WG chairpersons (predominantly) but also all other delegates to take somewhat better care of our events. We risk to get a very negative reputation! The overall strategy of TC6 must be discussed in Wroclaw (at Meeting 2005/2) at the very latest. Some changes are really unavoidable. Best regards Otto

(My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Dear Colleagues, Please find the call for participation for ISWCS 2005, 5 - 7 September 2005, Siena, Italy below. On behalf of the organizing committee, we look forward to receiving you at ISWCS 2005. Many thanks Best regards, Boon General Co-chair *************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ********************** ISWCS 2005 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems http://www.iswcs.org/iswcs2005 5 - 7 September 2005, Siena, Italy *************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ********************** The Technical Program includes 100 full papers and 33 poster papers. Out of 252 submissions, the Technical Program Committee worked very diligently and professionally in the selection of the final papers, with at least three reviews for each submitted contribution. The Program is structured in three parallel tracks and 5 sessions per track, with a total of 15 sessions. The three tracks represent key areas in wireless communications, namely: wireless network layer; radio channel modulation and coding, and; wireless network applications. The session topics (and the paper contributions) are very indicative of current research interests in the wireless field. Please find more information with regards to the technical program at the following URL: http://www.iswcs.org/iswcs2005/plan_technical_sessions_ISWCS_2005.pdf Posters represent work in progress and have been given a very visible role (and an important slot) in the program. In fact, the poster presentations will follow immediately the Plenary Session on the morning of Sept 7. We expect active discussion around posters and interaction with authors. The panel will precede the social dinner on Sept 6 it will be addressing the very timely and, in many aspects still controversial topic, entitled "Towards a wireless and ubiquitous information society". The panelists comprise of researchers from IBM, Harris Corporation, Alcatel, KDDI R&D Lab, among others. We have been very lucky to secure two well known and esteemed researchers in the wireless community Dr Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research and Prof Dharma P. Agrawal, University of Cincinnati - as keynote and plenary speakers respectively. Dr Bahl talk Bridging the Information Divide: Challenges & Opportunities will touch a very critical problem created by the Internet today and will describe how wireless technologies will enable ubiquitous connectivity and services connecting rural villages in remote areas using a programmable mobile platform. Prof Agrawal talk, entitled Why use Aggregate Logical Sensor Units for large Sensor Networks?, will address a critical area of sensor networks tight energy constraints. Dr Agrawal will show that such constraints can be relaxed by aggregating off the shelf sensors into logical units that support the desired functions.
