Dear Guy and evryone,
In reaction to my mail informning the TC6 about the actions I have taken concerning the publication of IWQoS'05 with IFIP, Otto and myself received a mail from Klaus Brunnstein that I reproduce hereafter. This mail indicates that our contact person in Springer is now Jennifer Evans. But I do not know if this implies that the publications will still be in the LNCS series or in another SSBM series directed by Jennifer Evans. Any comments ?

Dear Otto and Dear Elie, having been made aware of the appended email (which covers new publications (from 2005 onwards), I wish to inform you that SSBM director of publications Dr. Heinze has agreed, in close contact with Jennifer Evans and Alfred Hofmann, that all contractual issues between SSBM and IFIP shall operate through a single point of contact at SSBM. With his decision, Dr. Heinze wished to assure that information flow between IFIP and SSBM is optimized and that no information is lost (as sometimes before).
May I consequently ask you to assure that all contacts with SSBM should operate through Jennifer Evans. Concerning publications before 2005 under LNCS contract, naturally operated by Alfred Hofmann, can you please cc: Jennifer so that SSBM can maintain a complete picture of publications, including successes and potential problems.
Thanx for your support, and please feel free to contact me if you have any question. Best wishes: Klaus Brunnstein (June 8, 2005)
