WG aims and scope
by Augusto Casaca 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

Dear TC6 members, I prepared a final document with the TC6 WG aims and scope, taking into consideration the comments I received from Peter Radford, Arun Iyengar and Harry Perros. Performance and QoS appear in a number of WGs but I hope that it is clear in the document that they relate to different levels of the network. Anyhow, I think that a complete separation of aims and scope in the 9 WGs is difficult to achieve. There are always border areas that lead to some overlapping. Please send me your final comments, if any, until Sunday evening (4/2/01). If no comments received I will consider the document approved within TC6 and I will submit it, by e-mail, to the IFIP Technical Assembly next week. Best regards Augusto Casaca

The objective of ELPUB2001 is to bring together researchers, managers, developers, and users working on the issues related to electronic publishing for public, scientific and commercial applications. The conference will continue the tradition of the previous conferences which took place in Great Britain in 1997, Hungary in 1998, Sweden in 1999 and Russia in 2000. The focus is on electronic publishing for academic and commercial purposes and for the general public. We welcome speakers on non-technical and technical developments.
