Greetings Dewald and Happy New Year to you and our Colleagues:
As I view the provisional Agenda I see that there is very little time to
introduce TC activities. Would it make sense for Leon to use some of the
VISION FROM THE IT ENGINE ROOM where, as you remember, TC Chairs
highlighted briefly their focus. What do you think dear colleagues?

Subject: IFIP DAY 27 February 2004
Dear All
I attach a provisional, draft agenda for the planned IFIP Day on 27
February
2004 in Cape Town prior to the Council Meeting. Please scrutinize this and
provide me with you comments as soon as possible but not later than Monday
19 January.
The idea behind the planned schedule is to attract an audience from the
Western Cape constituency of the CSSA (Computer Society of South Africa)
Chapter in the Western Cape. The programme therefore provides some
overview/introduction to IFIP as an organization and its activities, but
includes a number of presentations from persons from the WC CSSA
Constituency. The latter to make it interesting for CSSA members to
attend,
and also to provide IFIP with an insight into activities in this region of
South Africa.
This is just a draft, and titles/speakers are provisional. Nothing has
been
finalized - so your comments are vital and welcome.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Conference Theme
----------------
Applying formal methods may involve the modelling
of different aspects of a system that are expressed
through different paradigms. This motivates us to
research the combination of different viewpoints upon
a system, either by the creation of hybrid notations,
by extending existing notations, by translating between
notations, or by incorporating a wider perspective by
innovative use of an existing notation.
The integration of formal methods promises great benefits
for systems modelling and software development.
Whichever approach is taken, significant issues can arise
in areas such as semantic integration, the tractability of
notations, the integration of tool support, the integration of
proof systems, consistency and completeness. Issues arise
equally in our modelling of systems at different levels
of abstraction and the development of these models through the
process of refinement.
The scope of IFM2004 includes all aspects of integration of
different notations, paradigms, and tools, including integration of
state-based and behavioural formalisms, and the formal
strengthening of informal notations (e.g., UML). Special sessions
are planned on the themes of Unifying Theories of Programming as
well as Testing, and submissions for these are welcomed.
The necessity of tool support for formal methods is widely
accepted. However, much existing tool support fails to exploit
the advantages that formality brings. This year's IFM is therefore
particularly interested in how integrating formal methods can
facilitate tool support for the development process, either by
integrating tools or exploiting the particular languages combined.
The conference also seeks and welcomes contributions in related
areas such as: hybrid systems, the embedding of one formalism within
another, and the integration of formal methods with informal or
semi-formal diagrammatic notations and structuring techniques.
Location
---------
The fourth international conference on Integrated Formal Methods
will be held at the University of Kent at Canterbury. The County of
Kent is situated in the South-East of England, and the University sits
on a hill over-looking the City of Canterbury and its world-renowned
Cathedral.
Accommodation for delegates will be provided on campus, other

Dear all,
at the occasion of meeting 2003/1 in Muscat it was decided to have
meeting 2004/1 in Athens (Greece)
on Sat, May 15 + Sun, May 16 (see meeting minutes distgributed by Augusto).
However, this would not be very convenient for those who want to
participate to Networking 2004 (May 9-14 where the first days are
devoted to tutorials).
Thus let me suggest to have the meeting on
Friday, May 14 (starting early afternoon)
+ Saturday, May 15 (full day).
In that case delegates could either leave on Sunday or have some sightseeing
and they could profit from cheaper plane tickets.
By the way: There are now many low cost airlines all over Europe which
offer no frills flights to Athens for phantastically cheap rates - if you
book early!
One way rates are less than USD 20, if you are lucky.
Please tell me whether you agree with the new date proposal (May 14+15 for
the meeting). A default message means that you agree.
Best regards
Otto
Dear all,
happy new year to all of you!
Please find below an information about the changed office address
of Tadao Saito (Japan).
Concerning the address list:
May I suggest that you communicate to me your mobile phone number, too.
At present, we have only few entries like that in our address list
but meanwhile the probability of reaching somebody by his mobile phone
is higher than to reach her or him by conventional phone.
Best regards
Otto
--------------------------------------------------
Message from Tadao Saito:
I would like to report that my office of TOYOTA Infotechnology Center
changed at the end of 2003
New address is as follows
Tadao Saito
Toyota Infotechnology Center
6-6-20, Akasaka, Minatoku, Tokyo, 107-0052, Japan
phone +81-3-5561-8200
Fax +81-3-5561-8290
Our new location is in the center of Tokyo, and 5minutes walk from office
of prime minister of Japan.
Dear TC6 members,
At the request of the IFIP President I forward you the message that he has sent to me and to Otto Spaniol.

Subject: [IFIP TC-6] Thanx, assignment and Happy New Year 2004
Importance: High
Dear Augusto, after 6 very successful years, the end of your term as
TC-6 chair has arrived. It is my privilege and honour to thank you
indeed
very much for the work and devotion with which you have mastered this
office.
I gladly remember the spirit of TC-6 which I experienced during your
anniversary meeting 2002 in Lisboa, Protugal. With so many gifted
and self-conscious members both in TC-6 and its working groups, it is
not always easy to find the best solution for upcoming problems but
you have succeeded to run TC-6 on a sustained level of activity and
intellectual capacity. Indeed, it is essentially due to your careful
and determined chairmanship that TC-6 is so highly respected in the
Informatics community and is regarded as one - if not the - most active
TC in IFIP.
Thanx also for the constructive advice with which you have contributed
to essential developments in Technical and General Assemblies. I
sincerely
hope that you continue in TC-6 as Protuguese representative and thus
make your advice available to your successor. I also hope that you
will be willing to lend your advice to IFIP EB on issues such as the
new publication contract.
Dear Otto, welcome as new TC-6 chair. After electronic election by TC-6,
I have the privilege to formally assign you as new TC-6 chair starting
January 1, 2004 for a 3-year period. Based on your own experience as
past TC chair, you are aware that this is a sometimes difficult but
hopefully often rewarding office. I wish you all success in assuring
that
TC-6 continues to operate in the spirit which was so successfully
developped and maintained by Augusto.
To both of you, and to all members of TC-6 and its Working Groups,
I wish a successful, healthy and happy Year 2004. And I hope to meet
many of you in Toulouse, site of IFIP World Computer Congress 2004.
Best wishes: Klaus (December 31, 2003)
PS: please forward this message to TC-6 lists. Thanx.
Dear TC6 members,
I attach the report concerning my chairmanship period from 1998 to 2003. The status of the Committee on the most relevant items is described there. I attach also some updated documents, which I usually transmit to you during our meetings. All other details and documents will be sent directly to Otto.
I pass the flag to Otto and my wishes for a Happy 2004.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca
