FW: [IFIP] A Developing Story: Sailboats in the Wind

-----Original Message----- From: owner-ifip_ga(a)ifip.or.at [mailto:owner-ifip_ga@ifip.or.at]On Behalf Of Plamen Nedkov Sent: quarta-feira, 6 de Novembro de 2002 08:06 To: all Subject: [IFIP] A Developing Story: Sailboats in the Wind Dear All, Following Ashley's and Dick's messages ref. http://www.ifip.or.at/mail/msg00185.html we received a note from past president Pierre Bobillier re. his first experience in computer connection between Switzerland and New York. May years ago, Pierre and a colleague were in Radio Suisse in Bern to establish a first computer connection with New York. They used a separate line for voice at the cost of 4.30 CHF/minute and "succeeded" to get a message from NY: "Hello Switzerland". Then the connection was lost and they were told that the transatlantic cable had been cut. They repeated the trial two weeks later, succeeded to exchange two or three messages and the line was cut - believe it or not, but the transatlantic cable had been cut again. Pierre's message made the IFIP Executive Director reminisce of his first email experience. One story leads to another so we decided to post both Pierre's full message and Plamen's account at http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/tc6/e_experiences.pdf The article will tell you about a Foundation, in which Saharov, McNamara, Sculley, the IFIP President and other personalities helped converge East and West by intensive use of email communications and of the planning of an education project based on Soviet and US satellites. It would also tell you who were the pioneer email users in IFIP and how many individual sessions are currently recorded at the IFIP website. If anyone of you has an interesting story to tell related to the first days of the Internet and IFIP (or covering national experiences) please write to the Delivery Co. and we will post your stories as a collection on the IFIP web site along with the TC 6 30th Anniversary report and related material. Greetings from Laxenburg, The Delivery Co. -------------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 http://www.ifip.org/

Dear Otto, Nobody reads IFIP books anyway ;-) We should focus on affordable electronic publication means, and look at paper publication as a side-effect.

-----Original Message----- From: SIGCOMM 2003 -- James P.G. Sterbenz [mailto:jpgs@acm.org] Sent: terça-feira, 29 de Outubro de 2002 18:21 To: Augusto Casaca Subject: CFP: SIGCOMM 2003, Karlsruhe Germany, 25--29 August CALL FOR PAPERS (New this Year: a Broader Vision) ACM SIGCOMM 2003 -- A Data Communication Festival 25 - 29 August 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003 DEADLINES Submission of full paper: 31 January 2003 (firm) Workshop proposals: 10 January 2003 (firm) Submission of posters: tentatively June 2003 We invite papers that are about communications systems, whether imagined, architected, built, measured, analyzed, or simulated and comprehended. We have no preferred topics within the broad range of potential topics from policy and operations through information coding and transmission. Papers might be a detailed exploration of a well travelled path, or shed light on the boundary between two or more areas. Papers might present cross-cutting design principles, report on practice, or prove new properties for networked systems. Papers on infrastructures or methods that enable new research are also welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to: Operations Resource Management Distributed Applications Security Protocols Systems Transmission Network Architecture We invite full papers that present original, reproducible results (14 pages) and position papers that present preliminary work rich in implications for future research (8 pages). Both types of papers will be presented and appear in the conference proceedings. Paper submission guidelines and guidance on position paper content will posted on the conference web site the near future. In addition, SIGCOMM 2003 is open to proposals for panel discussions on timely and controversial topics. Panel proposals should include the topic and motivation for the panel, the names of the panel chair and panelists, and an outline of the format of the panel discussion. NEW THIS YEAR: SIGCOMM 2003 will dramatically broaden the vision of the annual SIGCOMM conference. We seek to expand the intellectual diversity of the papers, modify the program to be more receptive to new ideas and community-driven initiatives, and expand the intellectual agenda to include papers from a broader set of topics and recognize the wider range of methodologies that constitute data communications research. More details are available at http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/SIGCOMM-FUTURE.pdf. We are also inviting new communities to hold workshops in conjunction with the SIGCOMM conference and will provide them with the necessary support to make those workshops a success. Two of these will be Future Directions in Network Architecture Education Workshop following on the heels of the successful 2002 event More details will be available on the Web page soon. TUTORIALS SIGCOMM 2003 will feature tutorials to be announced at a later date. STUDENT PAPER AWARD Papers submitted by students may be considered for a student paper award. To be eligible, a student or group of students must be primary contributors to the paper. Such papers should be indicated as such on the paper submission web page. SIGCOMM AWARD SIGCOMM 2003 will begin with a keynote by the 2003 winner of the ACM SIGCOMM Award for lifetime contributions to the field of computer communication. Procedures for nominating candidates for the SIGCOMM Award can be obtained from Karen Sollins <sollins(a)lcs.mit.edu>. As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2003 will have a poster session and student travel grant program. Visit the conference web site for details as they become available.
