Impact of TC6 events from Citeseer
by Guy Leduc 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Dear TC6 colleagues, I've collected some information on Citeseer regarding the impact of our TC6 events. Please find these results below. It's always useful to know how our events are ranked with respect to others. This could be part of an agenda item on statistics of TC6 events in Athens and also in relation with publishers. Note that these data have been computed in May 2003, which means that only events organized until 2002 had a chance to have an impact. So, recent events are not well ranked, which is normal. Note also that with citeseer only papers available electronically are considered. So, a first step in reaction to this would be that all individuals publishing in our conferences put all their papers on their web pages and send their URLs to citeseer for reference. Unfortunately this is not always allowed by the publishers, but note that IEEE and ACM allow this. And I remember that Kluwer had accepted too for events where some authors would have otherwise refused to sign the copyright transfer form. A last comment in that only conferences referenced in the DBLP database are taken into account. And some TC6 conferences are not there. Some reaction is needed. Perhaps each WG chairperson could do the necessary steps to register them as IFIP events: check http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/series/ifip/index.html Best regards, Guy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated impact of publication venues in Computer Science (higher is better) - May 2003 (CiteSeer) Generated from documents in the CiteSeer </cs> database. This analysis does not include citations where one or more authors of the citing and cited articles match. This list is automatically generated and may contain errors. Only venues with at least 25 articles are shown. Impact is estimated using the average citation rate, where citations are normalized using the average citation rate for all articles in a given year, and transformed using ln (n+1) where n is the number of citations. Publication details obtained from DBLP <http://dblp.uni-trier.de/> by Michael Ley <http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/>. Only venues contained in DBLP are included.

New WG 6.10 chairman
by Otto Spaniol 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Dear all, you will remember from our previous meeting in Muscat or from the minutes of that meeting that we are seeking for a successor for Harmen van As as chairman of WG 6.10 (Photonic networking). Harmen's successful chairmanship came to an end after six very successful years; thank you very much, Harmen, for that work. As decided in Muscat, I asked four possible candidates whether they might be interested. Three of them refused by different reasons (see below). Only Harry Perros is interested. According to IFIP bylaws the chairman of a WG is nominated by the TC chairman upon the recommendation of the Technical Committee. We can do the ratification at our next meeting in Athens or - preferably - earlier by electronic consensus. I've asked the WG 6.10 members (there are not too many of them and the email list is already somewhat outdated) whether they might have comments or objections but I don't reallybelieve that I will receive too many of such comments (if any). My questions: - Should we approach even more candidates? - Or alternatively: Would you support Harry Perros as new WG6.10 chairman? Please give me a response until the end of March 2004. A missing response means that you agree that Harry Perros should be the successor of Harmen von As. Nevertheless, I would prefer a positive statmeent instead as of a missing response. Best regards Otto Best regards Otto ------------------------------------------------------- I copy the answers obtained by the candidates here: Dear Professor Spaniol, thank you for offering me the chance to compete for the position of WG 6.10 chairman. Unfortunately, after finishing my chairmanship of COST 266 management committee, my main activities in the field of telecommunications have become more general that include the regulatory issues. Therefore, I am unable to take up your kind offer. Best regards, Anton Kuchar --------------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Spaniol, Thank you very much for your email - I am honored by your offer to become a chair person WG 6.10. Unfortunately due to a number of appointments I have this year, I am afraid I will not be able to do a good service to the research community and IFIP, and dedicate sufficient time to that role. I hope however to be able to help in other ways - so, please do not hesitate to come back to me. For your convenience, I am attaching you my short resume - I hope we'll keep in touch. Thanks again. Kindest regards, Admela Jukan -- Dr. Admela Jukan currently serves as the Program Director in Networking Research at National Science Foundation in Washington, DC, and she also is a Visiting Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Jukan received the received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees Polytechnic University of Milan (Milan, Italy) and Vienna University of Technology (Vienna, Austria), respectively. Prior to coming to the US, she has been with the Vienna University of Technology in Austria (Senior Lecturer). In 1999 and 2000, she was a visiting scientist at Lucent Technologies, Bell Laboratories, where she was working on optical-IP networking. She has engaged in a variety of European network research projects, in particular the European research establishments for the Actions ACTS and COST. Dr. Jukan is the author of numerous scientific publications, she has edited three and authored one book, she is the award winner for the best innovative research proposals of Sprint Labs and Vienna Academic Anniversary Foundation and she is actively involved in organization and scientific leadership of a number of conferences and workshops in the field of networking systems and technologies. Her research interests include network protocols and architecture, in particular performance evaluation, intelligent network services, control and management. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Otto, first I wish to express my gratitude and happyness for having been mentioned as a possible Chairman of the WG 6.10 of IFIP to you and and the other colleagues of the committee who put forward my name. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Ericsson Lab Italy is not involved anymore in the design of optical networks, I am in the difficulty of accepting your kind invitation for opportunity reasons. I am really sorry to decline this invitation, that I would like to accept in other conditions of my company. Anyway, I wish to contribute in some way to other IFIP committees that match with my company current interests. With kindest regards Roberto Sabella ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hallo Otto Guy Pujolle spoke to me about it, and as I told him I would be interested in becoming the chairman of 6.10. I am not a member of 6.10, because I was not asked to join in, despite the fact that I have been working on optical networks full tilt since 1995. I do not know who the members are of this group. Also, I cannot attend your meeting in Athens, because I have to be back home on May 15th for my son's University graduation. Below please find a short biographical CV, and a vision statement. Cheers Harry BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH H. G. Perros is a Professor of Computer Science, an Alumni Distinguished Graduate Professor and Program Coordinator of the Master of Science degree in Computer Networks at NC State University. He received the B.Sc. degree in Mathematics in 1970 from Athens University, Greece, the M.Sc. degree in Operational Research with Computing from Leeds University, England, in 1971, and the Ph.D. degree in Operations Research from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, in 1975. He has held visiting faculty positions at INRIA, Rocquencourt, France (1979), NORTEL, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (1988-89 and 1995-96) and University of Paris 6, France (1995-96, 2000, and 2002). He has published extensively in the area of performance modelling of computer and communication systems, and he has organized several national and international conferences. In 1994, he published a monograph entitled "Queueing networks with blocking: exact and approximate solutions", Oxford Press, and in 2001 a textbook entitled "An introduction to ATM networks", Wiley. From 1995 to 2002 he was the chairman of the IFIP Working Group 6.3 on the Performance of Communication Systems, and currently he is a member of IFIP Working Groups 7.3, 6.3 and 6.2. He is also an IEEE Senior Member. His current research interests are in the areas of optical networks. VISION As I mentioned above I do not know who are the members of 6.10, and I was not able to find out though the TC6 web site. I suspect, though, that the membership is a small group of mostly European researchers. So, my first action will be to enlarge it to about 30 to 40 members, and also create a web site. The main thrust of the group will be on optical networking and not on the optical physical layer. The main issue to resolve is the optical networking conference. There is an annual conference sponsored by the 6.10, and also there is a new conference on optical networks sponsored by TC 6 (the first one will take place in Pisa this Fall). Obviously, these two have to be merged into one conference. Then, in USA there is Opticomm, which is owned by SPIE. We will need to come to an arrangement with Opticomm, so that we do not compete for the same papers and attendees. If we move fast, we may be able to dominate the conference scene, since Opticomm is not yet a well-established conference

RAID 2004 - Final Call for Papers
by Yves.Roudier＠eurecom.fr 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

[Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement] CALL FOR PAPERS RAID 2004 "Intrusion Detection and Society" Seventh International Symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection Institut Eurécom, Sophia-Antipolis, French Riviera, France September 15-17, 2004 http://raid04.eurecom.fr This symposium, the seventh in an annual series, brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to discuss intrusion detection technologies and issues from the research and commercial perspectives. The RAID International Symposium series is intended to further advances in intrusion detection by promoting the exchange of ideas in a broad range of topics. For RAID 2004 there is a special theme: the interdependence between intrusion detection and society. Thus, we will also welcome papers that address issues that arise when studying intrusion detection, including information gathering and monitoring, as a part of a larger, not necessarily purely technical, perspective. For example, the implication of information gathering and detection technologies on enterprises, organisations and authorities, as well as legislative and governing bodies is within scope, but also the impact and restrictions from those bodies on the design and technology. This would include issues such as privacy, risk and emergency management, crisis management, security policies, standardisation and legal issues. An increasingly important dynamic is the strategic importance of protecting national information infrastructures, which is in some tension with the fact that much of this infrastructure is in the private sector. Related to this is the potential strategic impact of attacks at the intersection of information and physical infrastructure. The RAID 2004 program committee invites three types of submissions: - Full papers presenting mature research results. Papers accepted for presentation at the Symposium will be included in the RAID 2004 proceedings published by Springer Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Full papers are limited to 20 pages when formatted according to the instructions provided by Springer Verlag. Papers must include an abstract and a list of keywords. - Practical experience reports describing a valuable experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual experience from intrusion detection or network monitoring. These reports are reviewed differently from full papers and do not necessarily include fundamental scientific contributions or new research ideas. Practical experience reports are limited to 12 pages when formatted according to the instructions provided by Springer Verlag. They must include an abstract and a list of keywords. - 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 Symposium attendees are preferred. All topics related to Intrusion Detection Systems and Technologies are within scope, including their design, use and maintenance, integration, correlation and self-protection, just to mention a few. With reference to this year's theme and extended scope we also invite papers on the following topics, as they bear on intrusion detection and the general problem of information security: Risk assessment and risk management Intrusion tolerance Deception systems and honeypots Privacy aspects Data mining techniques Visualization techniques Cognitive approaches Biological approaches Self-learning Case studies Legal issues Critical infrastucture protection (CIP) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Refik Molva <refik.molva(a)eurecom.fr> Program Chairs: Erland Jonsson <erland.jonsson(a)ce.chalmers.se> Alfonso Valdes <valdes(a)sdl.sri.com> Publication Chair: Magnus Almgren <almgren(a)ce.chalmers.se> Publicity Chair: Yves Roudier <Yves.Roudier(a)eurecom.fr> Sponsor Chair: Marc Dacier <marc.dacier(a)eurecom.fr> PROGRAM COMMITTEE Tatsuya Baba (NTT Data, Japan) Lee Badger (DARPA, USA) Sungdeok Cha (KAIST, Korea) Steven Cheung (SRI International, USA) Herve Debar (France Telecom R&D, France) Simone Fischer-Hübner (Karlstad University, Sweden) Steven Furnell (University of Plymouth, UK) Bill Hutchinson (Edith Cowan University, Australia) Dogan Kesdogan (RWTH Aachen, Germany) Chris Kruegel (UCSB, USA) Håkan Kvarnström (TeliaSonera R&D, Sweden) Wenke Lee (Georgia Tech, USA) Douglas Maughan (DHS HSARPA, USA) Roy Maxion (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) John McHugh (CMU/SEI CERT, USA) Ludovic Me (Supélec, France) George Mohay (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) Vern Paxson (ICSI and LBNL, USA) Giovanni Vigna (UCSB, USA) Andreas Wespi (IBM Research, Switzerland) Felix Wu (UC Davis, USA) Diego Zamboni (IBM Research, Switzerland) IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission : March 31, 2004 Deadline for panel submission : April 30, 2004 Deadline for poster submission : August 20, 2004 Notification of acceptance or rejection : June 4, 2004 Final paper camera ready copy : July 2, 2004 RAID conference dates : September 15-17, 2004 SUBMISSIONS Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop with proceedings. The full papers must list all authors and their affiliations; in case of multiple authors, the contact author must be indicated (note that RAID does not require anonymized submissions).
