To IFIP GA, TC-Chairs, WG-chairs, TC-members, WG-members Member Societies. Subject: Complimentary registration at WITFOR 2003, Vilnius, Lithuania, 26-29 August Dear Colleagues, After popular demand WITFOR Steering Committee has decided to extend complimentary registration to WITFOR 2003 to IFIP Family. The goal of WITFOR is to prepare and help implement information development strategies and projects in the developing countries. This unique visioning conference will convene leading thinkers from around the world to discuss information and communication technology as a transforming force and to explore the possibilities, promises, and perils of our networked world. It is targeted to politicians and senior officials responsible for information development from both the developing and industrialized nations, representatives of non-governmental organizations, representatives of inter-governmental organizations, and business leaders. Governments of all countries in the world have been invited to send their delegations to WITFOR. As it can be noticed from www.witfor.lt, WITFOR is two and a half day meeting where eight commissions will be preparing proposals in different areas concerning information society. The final document will be the Vilnius Declaration aiming at advising governments on strategies for the use of ICT. WITFOR is an unique initiative by IFIP and we would like to be a part of it. Visit www.witfor.lt and register now. With best regards Peter Bollerslev Chairman, Steering Committee, WITFOR 2003

Dear all, I was certainly very shocked by these news. I had the opportunity to work with Olga at UPC during 5 years. I strongly support the suggestion of Harry Perros and Ramon. No doubt, Olga deserves it.

Apologies if you receive this more than once. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Call for paper Fourth International IFIP Working Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems DAIS 2003 19-21 November 2003, Paris, France to be held in conjunction with FMOODS'03 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Applications Systems http://fedconf.enst.fr/ A call for tutorials common to FMOODS and DAIS and a call for workshops will be issued separately. The ubiquitous explosion of the Internet and the fast proliferation of distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'03 will focus on models, technologies and platforms for reconfigurable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications. DAIS'03 will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing. DAIS'03 will include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and work-in-progress presentations. Tutorial proposals are also encouraged. Conference themes: In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for reconfigurable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics: - new/extended software architectures and frameworks for reconfiguration and adaptation including component-based approaches (e.g. CORBA Components, EJB, .NET), - modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and adaptive applications, - support for reconfiguration, self-organisation and autonomic behaviour in new/existing distributed platforms (e.g. CORBA, J2EE, .NET, WebServices), - integration of multi-agent distributed decision-making, - application environments that exploit characteristics of specific technologies (e.g. grid computing, mobile and wireless), - issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application reconfiguration, - semantic interoperability and semantic web services. Submissions: DAIS'2003 seeks submissions for: - Full technical papers in no more than 12 pages (approximately 6000 words); - Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results, in no more than 5 pages.
