The TC6 web pages
by Otto Spaniol 25 Apr '00

25 Apr '00

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

22 Apr '00

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

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 Instructions to Contributors: We invite prospective authors to submit high quality papers via email to one of the guest editors, depending on their geographic zone.
