Dear all,
when I informed you about the SMARTNET photos which are now on our web pages
I forgot to express my very sincere thanks to Herbert Leitold
(Email. Herbert.Leitold(a)iaik.at)
for the design and the maintenance of our TC6 web pages.
Herbert does a really phantastic job. And the TC6 pages would deserve
to see more accesses - not only for the SMARTNET pictures.
As a "communication oriented" committee we should use the web pages
much more (to my opinion).
Best regards
Otto

http://www.ifip.tu-graz.ac.at/TC6/
and from there via "events" + click onto the SMARTNET picture
- or directly via

Hello TC-6 members,
Samir is organizing the business and I am organizing evenings parties of
the TC6.
So, on Saturday evening we will have a party at my home and we will have
to test some bottles of wine. So if you can bring just one bottle of
wine it would be nice but it's not a necessity at all.
On Sunday evening a dinner and The Crazzy-Horse-Saloon show was reserved
some month ago for those who answered positively. I kept some more seats
for undecided and those not sure to come. I need now to release these
extra seats if they are not used.
Here is the list of participants:
1 Lorne G. Mason
1 Arun Iyengar
2 Dipak Khakhar
2 Andre Danthine
1 Harry Perros
1 Lyman Chapin
1 Sarolta Dibuz
2 Guy Leduc
1 Villy B. Iversen
1 Neuman de Souza
2 Eric Horlait (Net2000)
2 Serge Fdida (Net2000)
1 Christophe Diot (Net2000)
2 Pujolle Guy
Please let me know if I forgot your name or if you want to be added at
the list.
See you in Paris
Best regards,
Guy

CALL FOR PAPERS
JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
Special Issue on
Web-Based Management
The use of Web technologies in network, systems, application and service
management--also known as Web-based management--has attracted a lot of
attention in the recent years. In the IP world, all major network management
platform vendors are migrating toward Web-based graphical user interfaces.
Current suggestions include to redesign entirely the managers and agents
using Java, take advantage of distributed object-oriented technologies such
as CORBA and Java RMI, base the manager-to-agent communication on HTTP, or
use XML to format and structure management data. Even in the OSI world,
especially for telecommunication switches, more and more vendors are turning
to solutions integrating CORBA and Java. What are the opportunities of Web
technologies in these two worlds? What are the principles behind the design
of Web-based management systems? How can we make such systems reliable and
scalable? What are their limitations? What are the advantages and
disadvantages of using HTTP, applets, servlets, RMI, JDBC, etc. in
management applications? Topics of interest for this special issue include,
but are not limited to, the following:
* Web technologies in network, systems, service and application
management
* Information models in support of Web-based management (semantics)
* Distributed computing for Web-based management applications
* Web technologies as facilitators of integrated management
* New designs for Web-based managers and agents
* Web-based communication between managers and agents
* How to format, encode and represent management data in transit
(agent/manager, manager/manager)
* Techniques to efficiently save and retrieve management data to/from
persistent storage (e.g. how to store time series?)
* Scalability, efficiency and reliability of Web-based management
* Performance analysis of Web-based management
* Case studies of Web-based management systems
* Experiences with commercial Web-based management platforms
