Greetings:
Attached you will find a preliminary draft of the Call for Papers of the 2005 Latin America Networking Conference (LANC 2005). This was essentially carried out by Ramon and me, starting from the 2003 CfP. You will note that a few points still need attention, for example the members of the Organizing Committee. Please send me your contributions as soon as is feasible. (If you anticipate delay in resolving a particular issue, I would appreciate knowing about this as well. This will be the First Call for Papers; there will be a Second, in which additional information may be provided. Thus, not all issues need be completely resolved by the time this First CfP is disseminated.)
Please check the attachment and transmit to Ramon and me any comments, questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., that you may have. We would like to reach closure fairly soon, preferably by our self-imposed deadline of Nov. 1, 2004, if not earlier.
In parallel, the commitments of ACM and IFIP to LANC 2005 should be addressed. While the organizational burden clearly rests on the Organizing Committee of CLEI, the anticipated contributions of ACM and IFIP (in particular, sending/financing speakers, supporting publication of the proceedings, etc.) need to be clearly defined. In this context, I would like to know whether the deadline for receipt of camera-ready papers is early enough for the publication process (hardcopy, rather than CD-ROM); if not, it would have to be changed appropriately.
I hope this provides some indication of how LANC 2005 is shaping up.
With best regards
Ernst Leiss
