WG aims and scope
by Augusto Casaca 19 Dec '00

19 Dec '00

Dear TC6 members, I received two comments on the Aims and Scope of the WGs until the deadline (last Friday). They came from Arun Iyengar and Peter Radford. I attach them to this mail. If anyone wishes to react please send your comments to the TC6 list until the end of this week (22/12). After that date I will revise the document according to the received comments and will forward the revised document to you. Best regards Augusto Casaca Subject: Working Groups' Aims and Scopes Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 18:37:51 -0000 From: "Radford, Peter" <RadfordP(a)logica.com> To: "Casaca Augusto [TC6] (E-mail)" <Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt> Augusto Just a few comments: One general comment is that it is noticeable how many of the Groups have QoS/Quality of Service some in their Aims and Scopes! A second comment is that the Aims and Scopes ought to be in the same font throughout. More specific points: WG6.1 For consistency with the other Aims, the Aims here ought not to be bullet points. WG6.3 There's a typing error in the second Scope bullet point ("addmission" should be "admission") I'm not sure what the fourth bullet point ("... technology towards internetworking of communication systems") is trying to say; it does not do it very well! WG6.4 For consistency the Infrastructure, Applications and Performance ought to be bullet points. How does Performance here relate to WG6.3? WG6.6 I'd put the two sentences of the Aims as separate paragraphs. The sentence beginning "The scope of WG6.6 ..." is long and complicated; can it be split and rephrased? (I'll have a go if you'd like.) In any case, "continuous" ought to be "continuously". WG6.7 In the Scope I would write "concentrate on research into telecommunications" in the first line. I would start the second sentence "The concept of Intelligent Networks (IN) was ..." WG6.8 Do we need both "land and space" and "terrestrial and satellite" in the Aims? (I'd just put "terrestrial and space".) Get back to me if you want anything more doing or if there's anything you don't understand. Regards Peter Subject: Re: [ifip-tc6] WG aims and scope Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 13:33:24 -0500 From: "Arun Iyengar" <aruni(a)us.ibm.com> To: Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt Augusto: I recommend the following for the scope of WG 6.4. My change is to alphabetize "Applications, Infrastructure, Performance". Best Regards, Arun SCOPE This WG provides a framework for the launching and the organization of activities in the area of Internet applications engineering, including: Applications: agent technologies, distributed games, hypertext and hypermedia, multimedia on the Web; Infrastructure: audio/video/voice coding for Internet services, Internet security, multicast, searching and querying, virtual private networks, Web navigation strategies; Performance: caching, quality of service, scalability aspects, traffic characterization. Augusto Casaca <augusto.casaca(a)inesc.pt>@lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE on 12/05/2000 06:58:08 AM Please respond to Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt Sent by: ifip-tc6-admin(a)lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE To: TC6 <ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> cc: Subject: [ifip-tc6] WG aims and scope Dear TC6 members, Following the discussion in our last meeting and also the suggestions made in the IFIP Technical Assembly, I prepared a revised list of the aims and scope of the TC6 WGs, which I submit for your approval. I remind you that the idea was to give more uniformity to the different descriptions of the WGs and also to find a new name to WG 6.11. The old name (Electronic Commerce) was too broad for IFIP as included activity of other TCs as well. I had the collaboration of the WG chairmen involved in these modifications and I hope that the attached document expresses their ideas correctly. I will wait for your comments until December 15. No comments mean approval of the document from your side. After approval at TC6 level I will submit it again to the TA by mail. Best regards Augusto Casaca
