publicizing events on IEEE technical committee mailing lists, IEEE and ACM calendars
by aruni＠us.ibm.com 16 Jun '00

16 Jun '00

Dear IFIP TC 6: Here are some mailing lists for IEEE technical committees which are good for publicizing technical events. IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on the Internet: tci-announce(a)computer.org IEEE Communications Society Internet Technical Committee: itc(a)ieee.org IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Computer Communications: tccc(a)ieee.org In addition to these mailing lists, you may want to publicize your events on mailing lists corresponding to other IEEE Computer Society or IEEE Communications Society technical committees. You can obtain these lists from the Web sites: http://computer.org/tab/tclist/index.htm (IEEE Computer Society Technical Committees) http://www.comsoc.org/socstr/techcom/index.html (IEEE Communications Society) It is also a good idea to publicize your events on the IEEE Computer Society and ACM calendars. In order to list your event in the calendar section of IEEE Computer magazine, send an e-mail message containing the event name, date, location, sponsor, submission deadline, contact person and e-mail address, and Web page to calendar(a)computer.org. In order to list your event in the calendar section of Communications of the ACM, send a similar e-mail message to calendar(a)acm.org. Submit your requests 2 months in advance of the issue in which you would like your announcement to appear. Since listings are free, it is often advisable to advertise your event in successive issues. You should ask them to place your announcement in both the calendar section of the magazines and on the Web sites as well (www.computer.org and www.acm.org). For large conferences with sufficient advertising budgets, I recommend buying advertising space for announcements in IEEE Computer, Communications of the ACM, or magazines such as IEEE Internet Computing. Instructions for posting such ads are contained in the magazines themselves. Best Regards, Arun Iyengar

In the winding alleyways of the city's medieval Old Town, the air is redolent with history. And yet, only a few minutes walking distance away lies the throbbing pulse of a modern city.

ACM SIGCOMM is pleased to announce that the 2000 SIGCOMM Award is being given to Prof. André Danthine, University of Liege, Belgium, who will also provide the keynote address.
