FW: WARNING. Someone tried to send you a potential virus or unaut horised code
by Radford, Peter 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

To all Just in case your virus checkers haven't picked it up, I received this and another similar message relating to two messages which were claimed to come from ifip_nm(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca. I've also had a third message apparently from the same source and entitled "[ifip-tc6] Mailman results for IFIP_NM", which did get through but which I think I shall ignore!

Re: [ifip-tc6] New WG 6.10 chairman
by Arun Iyengar 19 Mar '04

Dear Otto: I also support the nomination of Harry Perros for the new WG 6.10 Chair. Best Regards, Arun Otto Spaniol <spaniol(a)informatik.rwth-a To: ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de achen.de> cc: Sent by: Subject: [ifip-tc6] New WG 6.10 chairman ifip-tc6-bounces(a)lists.RWT H-Aachen.DE 03/18/2004 09:45 AM 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 I've asked the WG 6.10 members (there are not too many of them and the email list is already somewhat outdated) whether they might have comments or objections but I don't reallybelieve that I will receive too many of such comments (if any).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 _______________________________________________ ifip-tc6 mailing list ifip-tc6(a)lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE http://MailMan.RWTH-Aachen.DE/mailman/listinfo/ifip-tc6
