Dear colleagues,
I send you the document with the IFIP voucher scheme, which can help
delegates from developing countries to attend TC6 meetings.

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.

Dear Jose,
I was very shocked by the news. Olga was a very good friend and an
exceptional professional with whom I had the pleasure of working. Please
give to her family my personal condolences and also from the IFIP TC6
community.

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.
All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
simultaneously for publication elsewhere. They will be refereed by the
Program Committee. Accepted full papers will be published by Springer
Verlag in the LNCS series.
A call for tutorials common to FMOODS and DAIS and a call for workshops
will be issued separately.
Submission method:
Electronic submission in PDF format using the Springer LNCS style (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
Submission dates:
- Deadline for full paper submissions: extended to June 22, 2003
- Deadline for work-in-progress papers: June 22, 2003
- Notification of acceptance: July 25, 2003
