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unpublished papers addressing the following topics: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: June 2, 2003
- Deadline for work-in-progress papers: June 15, 2003
- Notification of acceptance: July 25, 2003
- Final versions: September 1st, 2003
- Conference dates : 17th to 21st November 2003

Subject: re(TC-6 resolution): IFIP Secretariat
Dear Augusto, thanx for forwarding the resolution of TC-6 to GA
and to me. Concerning the issue in question - the suspension of
Plamen Nedkov from the office as Executive Director - I have
meanwhile (after some hesitation concerning the unpleasant content)
informed GA about details which made the steps taken unavoidable.
At this time, I wish to assure you that secretarial work is properly
reallocated for an interim phase, and I hope that the procedure
will soon permit to hire a new manager for the secretariat. Con-
cerning publication (both with Kluwer and Springer), I am prepared
to assist TCs (I am in contact with Yana Lambert and Mr. Hoffmann,
and both are aware that I will help in cases of problems).
I hope that this adresses the essential concerns of TC-6.
Best wishes: Klaus (May 22,2003)

Dear All
This is Roger Johnson's view of the saga (he sent this to me but I have
checked that he is happy for me to forward it on).

Subject: RE: The IFIP ED Saga
Dear Peter
The situation is really very simple so far I see it.
There was an argument between one of the members of EB and Plamen in the EB
meeting following the Bilbao Council meeting. Klaus asked me to investigate
it and instructed everyone that nothing more was to be said until I had
reported. My view was that the argument was six of one, half a dozen of the
other and that by the time I reported it would probably just be forgotten.
However, Plamen went back to the office and emailed Council about it. Klaus
assumed he was still angry and reminded him of the EB decision to say
nothing. Plamen responded with a further email to Council including a remark
that he knew he was going against the President's instruction.
Klaus and I then drafted a short memorandum which we asked Plamen to sign
saying that he apologised for disobeying EB's instruction, agreeing that (as
it says in his job description) that he would comply with instructions from
the President in the future and finally it bound both Plamen and EB to keep
the whole matter private. We gave Plamen about 5 days to sign but he did not
do so. We then went to Vienna to see him and asked him if he would now sign
but he declined. Instead he proposed that an "amicable settlement" be
negotiated. We made him an offer of 6 months salary and he asked for a week
to respond.
We went back a week later and after checking that he still wanted to leave
IFIP we started to try to negotiate with him. We repeated our earlier offer
and his response was to ask for what Klaus estimated to be 250,000 euro. We
said that was out of the question (that would be about 4 years salary). When
he refused to negotiate or to give us the undertaking to work in accordance
with his job description, Klaus had no alternative but to terminate his work
for IFIP in accordance with his contract.
Klaus then put the matter into the hands of the Austrian Academy of Sciences
(who formally employ Plamen for IFIP) who are progressing the matter under
Austrian law.
That is just about the whole story. There is a bit of mud flying round about
the rights and wrongs of the original disagreement with Plamen but that was
NOT the reason Plamen's work was ended nor was it because of an argument
with Klaus who was just a bystander to the argument.
I hope this helps. It is really a very simple story albeit a sad one.
Good wishes
Roger

Subject: The IFIP ED Saga
Roger
I've just come back from the latest IFIP TC6 meeting.
Some time was spent discussing the saga of the IFIP Executive Board and the
IFIP Executive Director.
(A "motion of concern" was agreed, which Augusto Casaca should be passing on
once he gets back to base.)
We saw Klaus Brunnstein's most recent e-mail and had some input from Dipak
Khakhar.
I think there was a feeling, still, among some of the TC6 delegates that we
did not have all the facts.
Is there anything you can add to the story? (Or would you rather adhere to
"least said soonest mended"?)

Peter
