I am very pleased to announce that Mrs Brigitte Brauneis, who has worked half-time in the IFIP secretariat for a number of years, has agreed to move to the post of Event Facilitator on a full-time basis. Mrs Marion Smith joined IFIP mid of September. She is taking over the responsibilities of Mrs Brigitte Brauneis as an Administrative Assistant on a part-time basis. Mrs Smith is Austrian inhabitant, but she lived and worked in the USA for twelve years. I would like to wish Mrs Brauneis in her new function and Mrs Smith as IFIP new-comer a lot of success and fun in their work. Best regards Eduard PS: Email addresses: The email address of Mrs McKenzie is not longer valid.

Call for papers and workshop proposals - DAIS 2006
by DAIS'06 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS 6th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems DAIS 2006 "From service-oriented architectures to self-managing applications" Bologna, Italy June 13-16, 2006 http://www.discotec06.cs.unibo.it/DAIS06/ To be held in conjunction with FMOODS 2006 and Coordination 2006 http://discotec06.cs.unibo.it ABOUT THE CONFERENCE In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented architectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dynamicity of distribution constellations. The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications, including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contributions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and self-* properties. DAIS'06 is the sixth event in a series of successful international conferences which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing. Due to the success of the predecessor conferences and the emergence of many interesting and relevant new topics, DAIS has recently switched to a one-year-rhythm. CONFERENCE THEMES DAIS'06 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. DAIS'06 especially encourages submissions addressing the following topics: - novel and innovative applications in the areas of * enterprise computing * peer-to-peer systems and platforms * mobile computing * ubiquitous and pervasive computing * sensor networks - distributed application infrastructures * service-oriented frameworks, SOA, Web Services * component frameworks, such as CORBA Components, J2EE, .NET * peer-to-peer computing * mobile and wireless computing * Grid computing - software architectures supporting * autonomous systems * context-awareness * reconfiguration and adaptation * self-management * dependability - application integration and interoperability * enterprise-wide and inter-enterprise integration * integration vs. interoperability * semantic interoperability and semantic web services - life-cycle of distributed applications * modelling, specifying, monitoring and management * model-driven development and testing * tuning and re-engineering - dependability of distributed applications * trust and security * safety * fault-tolerance * dependability coordination in SOA SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions must be done electronically as postscript or PDF, using the Springer LNCS style. DAIS'06 seeks: - Full technical papers in no more than 14 pages, - Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results, in no more than 6 pages. Both categories of papers will be reviewed thoroughly by the DAIS'06 Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. More specific guidelines on the preparation of papers can be found on the conference website. WORKSHOP PROPOSALS DAIS'06 invites proposals for half-day or one-day workshops to be held before the conference on subjects that are related to the conference themes. Workshops can further investigate relevant research topics in more depth, or study application areas, or associate to existing or future networks of experts in industry and academia. Proposals should include the workshop title, the names and a brief (200 word) biography for each organiser and an extended summary of the workshop contents (approximately 1-2 pages). The proposals will be evaluated by the DAIS'06 steering committee together with invited experts and local organisers. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission January 10, 2006 Full paper submission: January 17, 2006 Work-in-progress papers: January 31, 2006 Notification of acceptance: March 7, 2006 Camera ready version: March 28, 2006 Conference dates: June 14-16, 2006 Workshop proposals: November 15, 2005 Workshop acceptance notifications: November 30, 2005 Workshop CFP publication: December 15, 2005 Workshop paper submission: February 28, 2006 Workshop paper notifications: March 30, 2006 Camera ready versions for workshop papers: April 30, 2006 Workshop dates: June 13, 2006 VENUE & EVENT DAIS'06 will be held in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy, colocated with the 8th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS'06) and Coordination'06. Attendants of DAIS'06 will have the opportunity to attend the sessions of the two colocated conferences. Bologna, a historical capital of culture, was founded by the Etruscans in the VI century B.C. Bologna sits in the southern part of the historically and gastronomically famous Po River plain, a natural crossroads in northern Italy. Bologna's location was important not only for the trading of goods but also for the exchanging of ideas and the disseminating of culture. The Università di Bologna, founded in 1088 is the oldest university in the western world. Bologna is famous for its porticoes. Dating back to the 12th century the porticoes were used to enlarge houses to support the growing University community. Today 350,000 people call Bologna their home, of which 100,000 are students. Bologna, Italy's culinary capital, is also famous for its food. Furthermore, Bologna is surrounded by the famous food/wine regions of Parma, Modena, and Tuscany. Bologna is very accessible, being served by an international airport and one of the main hubs of the Italian railway system. Within easy access is Florence (1 hour), Milan (1.5 hours), Venice (1.5 hours), Rome (2.4 hours) and the ubiquitous Italian countryside of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.
