by dncr 27 May '03

27 May '03

Apologies if you receive this more than once. Please redistribute this Call for Papers among interested colleagues. Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics: - new/extended software architectures and frameworks for reconfiguration and adaptation including component-based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).

-----Original Message----- From: Klaus Brunnstein [mailto:brunnstein@informatik.uni-hamburg.de] Sent: quinta-feira, 22 de Maio de 2003 16:33 To: augusto.casaca(a)inesc.pt Cc: Klaus Brunnstein; Basie van Solms; Dipak Khakhar; Jean-Claude Laprie; Prins Ralston; Ricardo Reis; Roger Johnson 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) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Augusto Casaca [mailto:augusto.casaca@inesc.pt] Gesendet: Dienstag, 20. Mai 2003 16:43 An: Klaus Brunnstein Cc: TC6; IFIP GA Betreff: IFIP Secretariat Dear Klaus, TC6 had a meeting in Budapest on May 18th and 19th. During this meeting the issue of the IFIP Secretariat was discussed and having analysed all the information available TC6 approved a motion, which is attached to this mail. TC6 asked me, as TC6 chairman, to send this message to you with cc to the IFIP GA. With my best regards Augusto Casaca

FW: The IFIP ED Saga
by Radford, Peter 21 May '03

21 May '03

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). Regards Peter -----Original Message----- From: Roger Johnson [mailto:rgj@dcs.bbk.ac.uk] Sent: 21 May 2003 09:37 To: Radford, Peter 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 -----Original Message----- From: Radford, Peter [mailto:Peter.Radford@logicacmg.com] Sent: 20 May 2003 12:05 To: 'r.johnson(a)bcs.org.uk' 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"?)
