The ever changing traffic mix in the Internet and the increasing demand for mobility represent new challenges for performance analysis. The primary focus of the Ninth IFIP Working Conference on ATM & IP Networks (IFIP ATM & IP 2001) is to contribute to fundamental research in ATM and IP technologies and in internetworking issues focusing on performance and reliability modelling and analysis. The Conference is built on the tradition of the earlier workshops (Bradford - Ilkley, Antwerp,) with increasing emphasis on issues related to IP and to the global Internet. We specially encouraged researchers to submit original papers in the field of Internet performance evaluation.

In separate mails you will get some other TC6 documents that were updated in the meeting. Once again, I would like to thank Koos Koen for his kind invitation to set the TC6 meeting in South Africa.

RE: [ifip-tc6] TC6 Best paper award
by Radford, Peter 08 Jun '01

May I suggest that if we have offered $500 for previous conferences in a series, we should continue to do so. This applies particularly to conferences so near in time as those with which Guy is concerned. (Of course, this assumes that we have the money!) For new conferences we can justify using euros on the grounds that IFIP now works in that currency.

Dear Augusto and everyone, The IFIP TC6 Best Paper Award, which was of 500 US$, could be converted to 500 Euros. The amount remains approx. the same, and IFIP uses Euros now. What do you think?
