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
Dear WG chairmen,
We have no news about ERFs for the following 2002 events:
Latin America Networking (WG6.9)
Electronic Publishing (WG 6.11)
Forte (WG 6.1) [waiting for the risk loan agreement]
Active Networks (WG 6.7).
All the others have been submitted or are being signed.
Could the respective WG chairmen please try to get the ones mentioned above
from the organisers?
Thank you
Augusto

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

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

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).
Regards
(and, if the wish is not too late, have a good week-end)
Peter

Subject: IFIP TC6 / Grid ?
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.
