Dear Dr. Casaca:
You might be knowing that 5th International Workshop IWDC'2003 is going to
be held in Calcutta during 27-30 Dec. 2003. Last year LNCS published the
proceedings (www.iwdc2002.org), and they will probably continue to publish
the proceedings this year too.
This year it will be jointly organized by IIM-Cal with Jadavpur Univ. with
IEEE AES COM LEO SOCIETY CHAPTER INDIA as a co-sponsor of this big event. In
2001, IFIP TC6 was a collaborator of IWDC. This year too, we like to have
TC6 as a collaborator with IEEE Computer Society Chapter India.
Also, I shall be happy if you kindly agree to be a TPC member of IWDC2003.
You will be responsible for reviewing 3/4 papers during June/July.
Looking for your kind nod,
With regards,
-Debashis

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

Call for Papers
Fifth International Workshop on
Networked Group Communications (NGC'03)
Organized by UniBwM and COST 264
in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM (approval pending)
co-located with the
Third International Workshop on
Internet Charging and QoS Technology (ICQT'03)
Group Communications and Charges - Technology and Business Models

University of Federal Armed Forces Munich (UniBw Munich), Germany
URL: http://www.ngc2003.org/
Scope
-----
Communications by technical means forms the major interconnection for
distributed electronic applications, ranging from business processes
to entertainment. 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. Submissions should already follow the author
guidelines as specified below and must include: title, authors,
affiliations, 100-word abstract, and a list of at most five

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.'
