Re: [ifip-tc6] WCC 2010 and Networking 2010
by Otto Spaniol 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Dear Raghavan, > >As TC-6 Representative from India, I would like to formally request IFIP and >IFIP TC6 to hold WCC 2010 and Networking 2010 in India. I did mention it >informally while we were together in Paris last month. > >After the Paris meeting, I have discussed the possibilities with President, >Computer Society of India (CSI) and he conveyed that CSI supports this idea. > >Computer Society of India will be formally approaching IFIP GA and Council >for WCC 2010 and I have been authorized to approach TC6 and the Working >Group for Networking 2010. Our (CSI) Public Relations will make the Country >Presentation whenever it is scheduled. > >The current thinking is that we will make it a unique showcasing experience >of Technology, Service, and India. Perhaps, multiple locations, video walls, >and immersion technologies! > Thank you very much for your offer to organise WCC 2010 and networking 2010 in India. I have forwarded your request to Klaus brunnstein (IFIP president and chairman of the congress selection committee) and to Eduard Dundler (IFIP secretariat); both of them get a copy of tis message, too. Eduard told me on the phone that exactly today the official procedure concerning bids for WCC 2010 will be started by informing the National Societies. Thus an official reply and a formal bid for WCC 2010 would have to come from the National GA Representative of India. With respect to Networking 2010 the committee TC6 will discuss your request at the occasion of the next meeting in May 2007. As you know, Networking 2008 will be held in Asia already (Singapore), Networking 2009 is still open (maybe in London). There might be some discussion whether we should return to Asia just two years after 2008. But, personally I think that this would be a possible option. Another discussion point is that traditionally Networking XXXX is held in May whereas WCC YYYY must be held in end of August or in early September together with a IFIP GA Meeting. We would have to discuss with TC6 whether we go away from our traditional date and whether we want to combine Networking with WCC; here I see some potential for conflicting views. A last point is the weather situation in India during August/September; as you told me in Paris, there is still some heavy monsoon rain in some parts of the country during that time of the year; this would make the organisation of a large congress less convenient. On the other hand, you said that in some other parts of India the weather would be quite good at that time of the year. You didn't indicate a town where WCC 2010 should be held. So you see that this and other points deserve thorough discussion. Thanks once again for your initiative. I look very much forward to it. Best regards Otto

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers in your email inbox. ========================================= IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems June 18 - 20, 2007 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA ========================================= WWW.DCOSS.ORG The 2007 International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '07) will take place in Santa Fe during June 18 - 20, 2007. The first and second DCOSS conferences, held at Marina Del Rey and San Francisco respectively, featured high quality research papers and interesting invited and contributed poster/presentation sessions. DCOSS '07 is intended to cover several aspects of distributed computing in sensor systems such as high level abstractions, computational models, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, analysis and applications. The conference will be co-located with several closely related workshops, and will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above high-level aspects of distributed sensor systems. In addition to contributed papers, the meeting will also include keynote addresses by leading researchers, a panel discussion, and a poster/presentation session. SPONSORED BY IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (TCDP) Held in co-operation with ACM SIGARCH ACM SIGBED European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) IFIP WG 10.3 MEETING INFORMATION The advance program will be available in April 2007. Check http://www.dcoss.org/ for updated information. IMPORTANT DATES Monday February 5, 2007 Paper Submission Due Monday April 2, 2007 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection Monday April 16, 2007 Camera-Ready Paper Due ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ============================== CALL FOR PAPERS Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. While much ongoing research has addressed networking, communication and low-level self-configuration issues in such systems, there are also significant challenges pertaining to systematic design, algorithm development and analysis, and abstract modeling in order to achieve efficient and robust realizations of large-scale distributed sensor systems. The large number of sensor devices involved, severe power, computational and memory limitations, resource heterogeneity, dense deployment and frequent failures pose novel challenges to design, algorithms, analysis and implementation. The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed sensor systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Computation and programming models - Energy models, minimization, awareness - Distributed algorithms for collaborative information processing - Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability, fault-tolerance - Abstractions for modular design - Languages, operating systems - Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration - Dynamic resource management - Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level) - Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives - Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment and operation - Design automation and application synthesis techniques - Case studies: lessons from real world deployments PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 12 single-spaced pages using 12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables. References may be included in addition to the 12 pages. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal. Submission procedures will be available via Web access at http://www.dcoss.org/ All manuscripts will be reviewed. Manuscripts must be received by February 5, 2007, by 5 p.m. U.S. Pacific Coast Time. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by April 2, 2007. Camera-ready papers will be due April 16, 2007. DCOSS '07 Proceedings will be distributed at the Conference. PROGRAM CHAIR James Aspnes Yale University USA PROGRAM VICE CHAIRS Algorithms: Christian Scheideler, TU Munich, Germany Applications: Anish Arora, Ohio State Univ., USA Systems: Samuel Madden, MIT, USA POSTER/PRESENTATION SESSION The conference will include a poster session for researchers and practitioners to present novel on-going work-in-progress and to obtain feedback from conference attendees in an informal setting. Authors of accepted posters will have an opportunity to briefly present their work in this session. Select invited presentations and posters from industry and academia may also be included in this session. Submission details and deadlines will be available at the DCOSS website. POSTER CHAIR Wendi Heinzelman Univ. of Rochester USA BEST PAPER AWARDS Awards will be given for one best paper in each of the three conference technical tracks: algorithms, applications, and systems. ================================= DCOSS '07 ORGANIZATION ================================= GENERAL CO-CHAIRS Sotiris Nikoletseas University of Patras and CTI Greece Viktor K.

Renewal of WG 6.x chairmanships
by Otto Spaniol 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Dear all, at the occasion of our recent meeting in Paris we have renewed the chairmanships of WG 6.2, 6.8, and 6.10. To my opinion in all cases with very convincing candidates (even if the procedure was not completely according to the IFIP statutes and bbylaws, e.g. concerning the designation of vice- chairpersons; see below). Checking the dates since when other chairpersons of WG 6.x working groups have been "in power" I found that by mid of 2007 (or even earlier) three other chairpersons will have reached the end of their 2x3 = 6 years period. This concerns the following WG's and chairpersons: WG 6.4: Arun Iyengar WG 6.6: Raouf Boutaba WG 6.7: Dominique Gaiti. In contrast to our previous habits, the WG chairman is *not* to be elected by the WG members but has to be recommended by the TC. This is also valid for the WG members (see below)! Excerpt from the Statutes and Bylaws of IFIP (section 4.3.7): -------- The members of a Working Group are appointed by the Chairman of the corresponding Technical Committee, with the approval of that Committee. Membership is not restricted to those who belong to an IFIP Member Society. The Chairman of the Working Group is appointed by the TC Chairman upon the recommendation of the Technical Committee. The Chairman may designate a Vice-Chairman and a Secretary with the approval of the Working Group. The term of office of Working Group Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen shall be three years and may be renewed once only. The term of office for Secretaries is three years which may be renewed without any limitation. The appointment of Working Group Chairmen may be terminated by the TC Chairman upon recommendation of the Technical Committee. -------- Thus, in order to follow these procedures more correctly, I invite you to nominate candidates (even outside of the actual WG members but such candidates would then be automatically accepted as WG members if they receive the recommendation of the committee) for the WG's well before our next meeting in Atlanta (May 2007). I (or the newly elected chairman of TC6) would then invite the candidates to attend meeting 2007/1 personally or to submit a written concept of their ideas (if they cannot attend the meeting for whatsoever reason). The Technical Committee would then come to a conclusion at the meeting itself or postpone the decision by an electronic voting (if the decision cannot bereached at the meeting itself). The newly designed chairpersons should take over by July 1, 2007. Hereby I invite you - to comment about the proposed procedure - to make nominations for new chairpersons. Best regards Otto

Dear Raouf, >Last week, during the WG6.6 meeting at MANWEEK 2006 in Dublin, I have >announced that my term as the WG6.6 chair is ending mid 2007. In order to >make the transition smooth, I suggest that we identify the new chair before >TC6 2007.1 meeting, so I can pass on to him/her the needed information. With >respect to the process as described in your email, I feel that it will be >more appropriate if the WG6.6 members can nominate and/or elect who they >feel can be a good chair of the working group. The TC6 committee can approve >or confirm the candidate chair. I can ask the WG6.6 members for volunteers >and if there are volunteers, TC6 can then look at the candidates and pursue >whoever is considered most appropriate for WG6.6 and TC6. I suggest that WG 6.6 members propose candidates for the chairmanship. There could also be some kind of election but this result is not binding for the committee (it can, however, give a strong indication of the WG feeling). The decision about a new chairperson has to be made by the TC6 committee - best after a personal presentation of one or two candidates concerning their intentions what to do with the WG. Best regards Otto
