This project takes our series of interviews to the "IFIP Engine Room", to borrow a term from a past president, with the intention to contribute to a more profound understanding of IFIP's TCs, their major activities, challenges and successes and their visions for the future. The current IFIP TC Chairs are in the hot seat to give their opinion and visions by answering 3 questions from the Delivery Co. concerning significant developments and activities of their TCs, activities with significant societal/economic impact and technical issues they find important for IFIP to address. The individual interviews will be posted at http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/tcvisions.htm and the full collection will be published by the Delivery Co. when the project is completed. We kick-off the series with our interview with Professor GIORGIO AUSIELLO [IT], TC 1 Chair (1996 - 2002) which is posted at http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/tcvisions.htm Giorgio is currently in the middle of an e-ballot to choose a successor and we are grateful he found the time to respond. Enjoy, 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/

IFIP GA representatives Re: IEEE CS International Design Competition (CSIDC 2003) Dear All, CSIDC 2003 will be our fourth annual competition for university students in computer science, computer engineering and related fields. Teams must design, build, test, and document a working system based on a PC, laptop, or hand-held computing device to solve a real-world problem. After six months of intense work, participants then must submit reports documenting the design and implementation of their prototype. Professor Alan Clements, the Chair CSIDC-- alanclements(a)ntlworld.com -- writes that the theme for this year's competition is "Added Value". Essentially, teams are free to take a PC or similar device and turn it into a socially useful application using no more than $400 US in additional components. This project gives teams an immense range of things that they can do. Since this competition could be of interest to IFIP's member societies we are pleased to advise that detailed information about CSIDC 2003, including a Call for participation, is available at the CSIDC website at http://www.computer.org/csidc Good wishes, -------------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 http://www.ifip.org/

FW: [IFIP] The Day After: Germany's Choice
by Augusto Casaca 23 Sep '02

-----Original Message----- From: owner-ifip_ga(a)ifip.or.at [mailto:owner-ifip_ga@ifip.or.at]On Behalf Of Plamen Nedkov Sent: segunda-feira, 23 de Setembro de 2002 11:30 To: all Subject: [IFIP] The Day After: Germany's Choice 23 September, Laxenburg -- Last evening Ralitsa Vassileva, the CNN anchor in Atlanta, kept millions of viewers in suspense with the CNN reporting on the closest post-war German elections. For most of the evening the SPD and the CDU/CSU were neck and neck. After a tight campaign race during which Gerhard Schroeder initially was thought to be the underdog, the "rot-gruen" coalition triumphed and will run Germany for another term. Unfortunately, during yesterday's climax there was absolutely no mention of the German political elite's attitude towards IFIP [ something that has to be amended in future by the current IFIP President] and early this morning the Delivery Co. had to carry out its own investigation. Here is a SNAPSHOT of the German engagement in IFIP: Germany was a founding member of IFIP. Since the establishment of IFIP in 1960 Germany was represented by : Walther (1960-1964) -> Bauer* (1964-1971) -> Samelson (1972-1975) -> Piloty (1976-1984) -> Brauer (1985-1998) -> Brunnstein (1999 -) DDR was represented by Lehman (1970-1987) -> Kempe (1997 until merger of German representation). *Prof. Bauer was responsible for the preparations of the 25th IFIP Anniversary Symposium in March 1985 in Munich . German Vice- Presidents were Walther (1960 -1962), Lehmann [DDR] (1980-1983), Piloty (1980-1984), Brauer (1995-1998), Brunnstein (2001-2002). On 2 September 2002 Klaus Brunnstein was elected as IFIP President for the period 2002 - 2004. We are impressed by the leadership Germany has provided and continues to provide to IFIP's Technical Committees. The following individuals served as IFIP TC Chairs: TC 2 - Manfred Paul (1976-1984) TC 3 - Wilfried Brauer (1984-1990) TC 6 - Otto Spaniol (1992-1997) TC 7 - Joseph Stoer (1979-1984) TC 9 - Klaus Brunnstein (1989-1995) TC 10 - Robert Piloty (1976-1981), Egon Hoerbst (1993-1995), Franz Rammig (2002 - ) TC 12 - Bernd Neumann (1997- ) Two IFIP World Computer Congresses were held in Germany - the 2nd Congress in 1962 in Munich and the14th Congress in Hamburg in 1994. After we gathered this data, we paid a visit to the Hall of Fame of the German Informatics Society at http://www.gi-ev.de/verein/hall_fame/hall_of_fame.shtml and were pleased to note that the majority of "Hall of Famers" are indeed people who helped build IFIP. These are: *** Friedrich L. Bauer GA representative from 1964 to 1971 *** Wilfried Brauer - 5th IFIP Auerbach recipient in 2002 *** Jose Encarnacao - ex WG 5.10 Vice-Chair & TC 5 member *** Gunter Hotz - TC 1 member *** Nikolaus J. Lehmann - DDR GA representative from 1970 to 1987, Vice-President from 1980 to 1983 *** Robert Piloty - GA representative from 1975 to '80, TC 10 Chair 1976-1981 Finally, the Delivery Co. checked its fans and supporters list and was very pleased to find that there are excellent jokes coming from Germany. Here is one joke shared by one of the German representatives referred to above who gave us 10 GOOD REASONS FOR BEING GERMAN : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Hmmmmm - He was requested to be more constructive and was given a second chance :-) 1 Oktoberfest 2 Oktoberfest-beer 3 BMW 4 VW 5 Audi 6 Mercedes 7 On a highway you can travel at a speed that would bring you to jail in any other country of the world 8 You do not have to learn German as a foreign language 9 You think Sauerkraut is delicious 10 Contrary to common belief laughing is not forbidden by law (yet) Good wishes to our German friends and neighbors, 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/
