The conference technical program contains significantly more papers, with the goal of diversifying the topic set and balancing theory and practice. Additionally, a wide range of viewpoints is represented in the position paper session, and a poster session will showcase work-in-progress with particular emphasis on student research. A set of workshops and tutorials are interleaved with the technical conference to encourage participation by all attendees. Five workshops are held for the first time, covering networking research (MoMeTools & NREDS), future architectures (FDNA), network-I/O convergence (NICELI), and a QoS retrospective (RIPQoS). The highly successful education workshop (NetEd) returns for a second year. Tutorials given by renowned experts cover network security and self-similar traffic.

Dear Augusto Can I thank you and all in TC 6 who have contributed for their thoughts. It is a very complicated picture to try to unravel. I am glad that Leon and Basie are also participating. No doubt we will be undating you all in due course as the picture clarifies. Good wishes Roger -----Original Message----- From: Augusto Casaca [mailto:augusto.casaca@inesc.pt] Sent: 09 June 2003 16:41 To: Roger Johnson Cc: TC6; Leon Strous; Basie von Solms Subject: IFIP Publisher Dear Roger, In our last meeting in Budapest we had been working on the refinement of the IFIP conditions for the new bid. We sent our contributions to Leon Strous, who included them in the final document, which has already reached you last week. Your mail from May 21st with the news that IFIP and Springer are in the same company now, reached us after the TC6 meeting. This is definitely new information which needs to be considered. I circulated the mail within TC6. I have got a few comments and suggestions from TC6 members on your mail. I decided that instead of trying to reach by e-mail a consensual message to send to you, as the time urges, I will forward in separate mails the most relevant messages that I have received from TC6 members. I really hope that they can help us in reaching the best decision. Please notice that all of them insist that electronic publication is also mandatory. Best regards Augusto

FW: IFIP Publications issue
by Augusto Casaca 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

Dear TC6 members, I forward you the mail from Leon Strous (TC11 chairman) on the publications issue. Please do not get confused with the different mails circulating on publications. This mail is the result of the work that the TC chairs had agreed to do after the Council meeting in Bilbao. This is the final document, whose draft version we have analysed in Budapest. The mail from Roger Johnson, which I circulated to you a few days ago is orthogonal to this one. Up to the moment I have only had feed back to that mail from TC6 members. The attached message from Leon does not make any reference to that mail and proceeds as had been agreed in Bilbao. I will investigate the situation and keep you informed. Best regards Augusto -----Original Message----- From: Leon + Pattry Strous [mailto:strous@iaehv.nl] Sent: sexta-feira, 30 de Maio de 2003 23:34 To: Brunnstein, Klaus; Ralston, Prins; Solms, Basie von; Johnson, Roger Cc: laprie(a)laas.fr; Reis, Ricardo; Khakhar, Dipak; wangqs(a)cidc.com.cn; Wibe, Jan (chair TC-3); Roode, Dewald (chair TC-8); Casaca, Augusto (chair TC-6); Olling, Gustav (chair TC-5); Ito, Takayasu (chair TC-1); Lasiecka, Irena (chair TC-7); Berleur, Jacques (chair TC-9); Rammig, Franz (chair TC-10); Neumann, Bernd (chair TC-12); Karat, John (chair TC-13); Meersman, R. (vice-chair TC-2) Subject: Re: IFIP Publications issue Dear Roger, Prins, Basie and Klaus, we have received comments from most of the TC-chairs and some EB members. Please find attached the adjusted requirements document (version 30-5) where I have tried to accomodate all comments. This list could be the input for the Request for Proposals. According to our time plan, the next step is that the IFIP President appoints the negotiating sub-committee who will start the tender process. I was asked to bring forward the wish not to limit the tender process to only a few well-known publishers but to start an open tender process. My suggestion in this respect is to compose a long-list of possible candidates who will be approached with the question whether they would be interested in bidding. The requirements document could be used to inform those candidates about what we are looking for. The list of interested parties will probably a short-list. Concerning the IFIP Publications Policy document, I have received only one comment. It was suggested to replace "IT" by "Information Science and Technology". I have no problem with that but have not changed the document yet. Please advise how to proceed in order to finalize / formalize this document. kind regards, Leon > Rest of the time line: > May 31 Agreed set of requirements ready / President appoints negotiating sub-committee / Tender list > generated > June 30 Notice of non-renewal of contract sent to current publisher > July 1 Issue Invitation to Tender > Sept 30 Close of bids > Oct 31 Evaluation of bids complete / Recommendation for selection sent to EB > Dec 31 IFIP signs new contract >
