WG 6.8 and 6.9
by Augusto Casaca 09 Mar '02

09 Mar '02

Dear TC6 members, I just returned from the IFIP Council in Bled, Slovenia. In this mail I only wish to report that the new name, aims and scope of WG 6.8 were approved in the Technical Assembly. WG6.9 was also approved but we should still modify the aims and scope to show better that we are not interfering with other TCs. I will bring a proposal to our TC6 meeting. Best regards Augusto Casaca

CfP: HICSS-36 Minitrack on Mobile Distributed Information Systems
by Andreas Meissner 04 Mar '02

04 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: March 31, 2002 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.

CfP: MMNS 2002
by David Hutchison 28 Feb '02

28 Feb '02

--> We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this. <-- Please feel free to distribute a copy of this call to those who might be interested. IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services MMNS 2002 Managing IP Multimedia End-To-End October 6-9, 2002 Santa Barbara, CA USA http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/conferences/MMNS02 CALL FOR PAPERS With the popularity of the IP-based Internet, there has been a major shift towards building a worldwide, all-service and all-media network based on the next-generation of IP technology. Rich multimedia is increasingly being incorporated into Internet applications (like Voice-over-IP, streaming video, etc.). However, more work is needed to evolve the Internet and the underlying networking technologies into an infrastructure capable of supporting all- service and all-media traffic. Significant management functionality is required to ensure that these applications have a network that is both capable and available. Management requirements may ensue from the fact that multimedia traffic may traverse networks using a wide variety of technology and each network may be owned, operated, and controlled by a different organization. In order to provide end-to-end, high quality multimedia services, the network must provide robust management functionality. The IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services will hold its fifth annual meeting Oct. 6 through Oct. 9, 2002 in Santa Barbara, CA. The IFIP/IEEE MMNS is a single-track conference and provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate. The program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of management of multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: o End-to-end IP multimedia network and service management o VoIP service management o IP Video, streaming, interactive video service management o Provisioning of multimedia networks and services o Wireless and mobile multimedia network management o Optical multimedia network management o Cable multimedia network management o Multimedia network traffic engineering and optimization o Distributed multimedia service management o Network management models and architectures o Billing and security for multi-media services o Content distribution internetworking o Resource, performance and fault management o Multi-point, multicast services management o Network programmability for multimedia services o Policy-based management for multimedia services o QoS management o Multimedia traffic management o Multimedia content protection o Deployment of multimedia services o Active multimedia network management o Multimedia session management o Middleware support for management PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted electronically in postscript or PDF format. Detailed instructions are provided on the conference web site, http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/conferences/MMNS02. Paper length is limited to 20 double-spaced pages.

FW: [IFIP] Information Release: The Reversi match
by Augusto Casaca 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

-----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, 27 de Fevereiro de 2002 10:25 To: all Subject: [IFIP] Information Release: The Reversi match IFIP Information Release In May 1997, Garry Kasparov, the then reigning World Chess Champion was defeated by IBM's Deep Blue Supercomputer in a fascinating game followed in real time via the web by millions of chess and computing fans. Five years later, in May 2002, IFIP and IPSJ, the Information Processing Society of Japan, will test NEC's ability to produce "intelligent" machines by staging another board game competition between a computer and a human, this time a former champion in "Othello" [also known as "Reversi"]. This game will take place during IFIP's first IWEC conference in the Sharp Conference Hall, Makuhari, Japan from 14 to17 May, 2002. Here is what Dr. Tak Kamae, the General Chair of IWEC wrote today to the IFIP Executive Director: "The reason we chose the reversi is that it is simple and does not take a long time. Fortunately there are several previous world champions in Japan ... NEC has a good software of reversi and will kindly provide it to us without any fee. Such demo was once done in New Jersey using NEC's software.We would like to exhibit the real time demo at IWEC on Internet ." IWEC is the first conference of IFIP's Committee for Cooperation with Industry (CCI) and IFIP's Task Force on Entertainment Computing. These initiatives were promoted by the Past IFIP Vice-President and Japanese GA representative, Dr. T. Miura. CCI is currently chaired by Dr. J. Lee, IEEE CS GA representative to IFIP.

TC6 members / WG chairmen Earlier today, I received the e-mail below from Andrew Martin of Oxford University. (I've had no previous contact with him.) Is anyone interested in Grid Computing and/or the Global Grid Forum? Does anyone think it relevant to any of our Working Groups? (As far as I can see it doesn't appear in any of the Working Groups aims and scopes.) If you reply to me (to save filling up everybody's mailboxes), I'll put together a response to Andrew (which, of course, I'll copy to everyone).

Hello, I understand you are the UK representative for IFIP TC6. I'm writing to ask if you are aware of any interest in that community in the `Grid computing' paradigm. You may know that the Grid/e-Science theme is presently receiving a great deal of UK and European funding, and gaining a great deal of interest and investment from companies such as IBM. I have just returned from a meeting of the Global Grid Forum (GGF4), which sees itself as a peer organisation to the IETF and W3C. I have been struck by how much that community appears to need input from the Software Engineering and/or computer science world. IFIP seems a likely framework for such input, and TC6 (WG 6.1, 6,2, 6.4 etc.) the most promising community. No doubt I'm not the first to make that connection; can you direct me to any like-minded people? Looking at IFIP web pages, I can see much discussion of internet applications, but no mention of the Grid. Thank you very much. Best regards Andrew. -- Andrew Martin.
