Each year it hosts internationally-renowned events such as the Edinburgh International Arts, Fringe, Film, TV and Science festivals. Yet it is more than just a tourist attraction. Edinburgh is a thriving commercial and financial centre, the site of the new Scottish Parliament and a gateway to the coastline, hills and open country of the Scottish Highlands. Edinburgh is a beautiful, dynamic, prosperous European city that benefits from a unique architectural heritage and a magnificent natural setting. Edinburgh is also home to a thriving software industry supporting the major financial institutions in the city and creating new products. Over the past years Edinburgh has seen a huge increase in start-ups in the software area. Close to Edinburgh, the Silicon Glen houses major microelectronics, communications and software design companies. Scottish Enterprise, the development agency for Scotland, places a strong emphasis on developing industries providing key infrastructure for the knowledge economy. This is based on the firm foundation of a strong supply of appropriately-qualified graduates from the ten universities in central Scotland. -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Massimo Felici LFCS, School of Informatics The University of Edinburgh JCMB - KB, Mayfield Road Edinburgh EH9 3JZ - UK Tel: +44-131-650 5899 Fax: +44-131-6677 209 E-mail: massimo.felici(a)ed.ac.uk URL: http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/mas/ ----------------------------------------------------------

by Augusto Casaca 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Dear TC6 members, After receiving some answers from your side considering the new dates proposed for the meeting in Oman I conclude that there is a preference for October 16+17. The answers split as follows: Oct. 11+12: Otto, Peter Oct. 16+17: Harry, Finn, Lyman, Miquel Don't care: Koes, Guy Pujolle, Lorne, Ramon, Villy, Augusto. So the meeting will take place on October 16 and 17th in Oman. I asked Ahmed to confirm that there is no problem with these dates. Have a nice weekend. Augusto

While networked group communications in particular raise technology and protocol challenges, charging for Internet services inter-relates and enriches those techniques with economic models. Both workshops target the identification of solutions, investigations of their feasibility, and a consolidation of technical and economic mechanisms to enable a fast, guaranteed, and efficient provisioning of networked group communications in the Internet. Authors are invited to submit work on issues related to networked group communication (NGC'03) and Internet charging and QoS technologies (ICQT'03) according to the major list of topics: NGC'03 ------ - Multicast applications and services - Multi-player games - Novel group communication architectures - Group and session management techniques - QoS and traffic control for groups - Peer-to-peer systems and applications - Distributed multi-peer-to-peer algorithms - Content distribution systems - Wireless group communications - Security for group communications - Heterogeneous group communications - Multicast deployment mechanisms ICQT'03 ------- - Economic models for the Internet - Internet pricing, tariffing, and billing - Internet charging technology - Monitoring, measurements, and accounting - ISP cost and business models - Charging for peer-to-peer applications and games - Charging and QoS for multicast - Charging for QoS services - Pricing mobile and wireless services - Application service provider models - Security mechanisms for charging - Management of Service Level Agreements Papers and Submissions ---------------------- Papers are solicited as full papers (in English), of no more than 10 single-spaced pages, each of which will be subject to a full review process.

Location and Date ----------------- The location of the UniBw Munich is in the heart of the information technology area of Southern Munich, where, amongst others, Siemens Corporate Technology as well as EADS are located. A number of hotels are located in the neighborhood (2-3 km) to the university campus. Downtown Munich can be reached from there in 20 min by fast train (S-Bahn) or underground (U-Bahn). The Airport of Munich can be reached by S-Bahn in about one hour. Furthermore, by rental car the German and Bavarian Alps can be accessed in about 90 min drive, providing views to the most spectacular scenery of mountains and beautiful countryside. Finally, the two co-located workshops take place just in the week before Munich's world-known "Oktoberfest - Wies'n" in downtown Munich.

If you took part in the lottery check the link and the site. YOU might be the grand winner!!! Congratulations to the winners and good wishes for a nice weekend to everyone! The Delivery Co. P.S. And here's your Friday's Special Fun zone - joke lover's only!! "Italiano" A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years. One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for child support payments to begin. One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife. 'Honey, you received a very strange post card today,' she said. 'Oh, just give it to me and I will explain it later,' he said. The wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted. On the card was written: 'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without.' -------------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 http://www.ifip.org/
