DAIS'2001 will be held in Krakow, a beautiful, old city, the Poland's
prime cultural and tourist attraction with hardly any equals in the
entire Central Europe, nominated the Capital of the European Culture
for the year 2000. The Old Town district is actually a medieval city
with a well preserved original grid of streets. The huge central
square, Europe's largest, seems the last stage in the perfection of
the art of city planning in the Middle Ages.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Krakow, in September 2001!
Dipak,
If our conferences are of good quality, there is no such risk.
If they are *not* of good quality, they will disappear anyway. There is no
room for losers these days. This is the Darwinistic approach. And it is
time to realize that.
Either we are where the best are, or we will be invisible soon.
So we have to go ahead, ... or retire.
That's also why it is crucial that IFIP publications be available on line.
On the free NEC research index (http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs), the
conferences (and also authors, papers, ...) are already ranked by numbers
of citations. This is even more dangerous for some of our conferences. And
IFIP cannot escape from that trend.
Best regards,
Guy
