Bring 26 document copies with you
by Otto Spaniol 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Dear all, the venue of meeting 1/2002 is a hotel which has rather limited (and expensive) copy machine facilities. Thus if you have some documents which are not already in the meeting documents (e.g. some late produced WG reports etc.) then please bring 26 copies with you to Saariselkae such that the can be directly distributed to the delegates. Alternatively you could send those documents by electronic mail to Ansa Laakonen <ansa.laakonen(a)hut.fi>. In this case, however, the documents should be there no later than Thrusday early afternoon (Finland time = GMT+3). Best regards and see 25 of you soon Otto

CfP: Abstract Deadline extended! HICSS-36 Minitrack on Mobile Distributed Information Systems
by Andreas Meissner 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

[Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS HICSS-36 Minitrack on MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Part of the Software Technology Track Thirty-sixth Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES January 6 - 9, 2003, Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: April 10, 2002 (new!) Full Papers due: June 1, 2002 ===================================================================== In today's mobile society, access to relevant information and to context-specific services "anytime, anywhere" is becoming increasingly important. Mobile users are often particularly interested in information about and services in their immediate vicinity, thus Mobile Distributed Information Systems must address location-dependent distribution of and access to services and information from mobile devices. The user's topological and geographical location becomes relevant for the semantics of communication, and such communication has to remain seamless even in foreign environments, with little or no need for manual reconfiguration. Frequently, in addition to his location, the user's current situation determines his information and service requirements. With mobile devices becoming more and more powerful, mobile users themselves may offer information and services to peers in an ad-hoc manner. Consequently, the long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred, which calls for an extension of the architecture paradigm towards peer and/or alternating roles. This Minitrack will address current topics in the field of Mobile Distributed Information Systems, such as: Location and Situation aware Information Services Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information Ad hoc Networking Quality of Service for Mobile Information Access Directory Services, Service Discovery, Service Brokers Service Interoperability, Service Distribution, Service Management Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration for Mobile Users Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Access Modeling a User's Situation Mobile Devices: GUIs and Usability Management of Groups of Mobile Users Location Tracking Technologies Fundamentals of location-based Information and Service Distribution Architectures for Mobile Computing and Peer Service Provision Security Aspects of Mobile Distributed Information Systems Charging Models for Mobile Information and Service Access Business Opportunities and M-Commerce Potential of Mobile Distributed Information Systems Mobile Service and Information Provision in the Tourism Industry Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems MINITRACK CHAIRS Andreas Meissner Wolfgang Schönfeld Lars Wolf Fraunhofer IPSI Fraunhofer IPSI University of Karlsruhe Dolivostrasse 15 Dolivostrasse 15 Zirkel 2 64293 Darmstadt 64293 Darmstadt 76128 Karlsruhe Germany Germany Germany Tel: +49-6151-869-847 Fax: +49-6151-869-6847 {Andreas.Meissner, Wolfgang.Schoenfeld}(a)ipsi.fhg.de Lars.Wolf(a)uni-karlsruhe.de The Minitrack Website is http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Please email general inquiries to hicss(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de MINITRACK PROGRAM COMMITTEE Heribert Baldus, Philips Research Labs, Germany Andrew T.

The first MobiHoc was held in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, as a workshop affiliated with the MobiCom conference also sponsored by SIGMOBILE. Since then, MobiHoc has become a separate symposium, held in 2001 in Long Beach, California, and now in 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Topics of interest include all areas of mobile and wireless ad hoc net working (above the physical layer), ad hoc computing, and sensor networks. PAPERS: There will be approximately seven technical paper sessions on a wide range of ad hoc networking topics. The list of accepted papers can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobihoc/2002/program.html. Paper topics include routing, sensor networks, scalability, multicast, energy consumption, TCP, and priority scheduling. POSTERS: There will also be a poster session, describing innovative and recent research on ad hoc networks. TUTORIALS: This year there is a new component to MobiHoc: technical tutorials. On June 9th there will be two tutorials. "Design and Modeling of Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks" will be held in the morning, and "Routing & Multicasting in Ad hoc Networks" will be held in the afternoon.

He is a Scorpio and this fact speaks a million words. His interview is the 6th published so far and presents an Insider's reflections on IFIP. All previously interviewed Presidents [Messrs. Speiser, Sendov, Zemanek, Bobillier and Rolstadas] appear to have continued the path of very successful academic, business and political careers. Ashley's interview strikes with how successful he is now on the business front. Mr. Goldsworthy's responses address some intimate matters related to IFIP's operations, including * The IFIP Engine room * Does IFIP need more Talking Committees as opposed to Technical Committees? * What is IFIP's vexing problem? * Would further IFIP specialization create a technical isolation and what can be done to overcome this? Go to http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/presidentday.htm and click under Ashley's photo for the interview.

-----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, 25 de Marco de 2002 16:27 To: all Subject: [IFIP] Spring Campaign Dear All, While Hollywood was admiring Beautiful Hinds during last night's Oscar winning ceremony we were busy planning our Spring Campaign. This campaign is intended to rally the IFIP Allies of Good so that IFIP can be a better place for everyone. The campaign will continue until the end of May and this first week is dedicated to your basic instinct to win. There are three initiatives: 1. I3E Lottery: I3E stands for the IFIP series of Conferences on E-Commerce, E-Business and E-Government The second I3E Conference will take place in Lisbon, Portugal from 7 to 9 October, 2002 http://www.siweb.info/ifip/ and promises to be a key IFIP event dealing among other issues with digital cities, e-learning, smart cards, consumer rights and protection, new supply chains and a medley of other hot topics. The deadline for paper submissions is set for 5 April 2002. We just had a telephone call with Mr. Jose Granado, the Conference Chair and Portuguese GA representative to IFIP, who offered one free conference registration (worth 300 EUR) as a Lottery Award. To participate, you will need to answer the following two questions: a. Who are the 3 IFIP Technical Committees involved in the organization? b. What are the names of the 3 chairmen of these 3 TCs [if in doubt check at http://www.ifip.or.at/tcs.htm ] Please submit your answers by 9.00 GMT on 28 March to <ifip(a)ifip.or.at> Persons with correct answers will enter a draw and the winner will be announced soon after. 2. Tomorrow, 26 March, we will publish our interview with the only IFIP President from the Southern hemisphere. Keep your locators set on http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/presidentday.htm to read the story of a President who continues to be a shooting star on the business front! 3. Another Delivery Co. Lottery is currently in progress [ ref. http://www.ifip.or.at/mail/msg00120.html ] If you have not yet entered the competition you can still do - deadline 29 March. There is more to come, 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/
