Dear Guy P. (and others),
I'm not yet sure when I can arrive in Paris; this is due to some other things (PhD defenses etc.) which might be scheduled for the last week of September. Paris is too near and therefore some other business cannot be avoided in the same week! Thus it is better not to foresee a session chairmanship for me.
During the meeting in Paris just after the conference we will have to discuss of the next Autonomic Networking conference (I get some informal demands to organize the conference in 2007) or to come back to individual conference or continue AN and WAC and IWAN in parallel or any other possibility. Autonomic Networking 2006, Paris 27 to 29 September 2006 www.autonomic-net.org
My suggestion is to have one strong conferences rather than a subdivision into plenty of subcritical small events which would all end up in agony. Hopefully I can come early enough to Paris in order to defend this hypothesis. Take the success of Networking xx as an example.
I agree. I'd advise to merge them. I don't think it will be a problem for INTELLCOMM, SMARTNET and IWAN. I am less sure about WAC. This community may want to live on its own. We can also possibly add NETCON to the set.
Best regards, Guy
Finally, I had no answer at all on the following message (below is the interesting part of the message). The ACF meeting will take place during the confernce in Paris, just 2 days before the TC6 meeting. I think this is an important issue to discuss in Santiago for the preliminary meeting of the TC6. So, if you have some comments please let us know.
It is on the agenda of the Santiago meeting but I'm not sure whether there are enough delegates present in Santiago in order to come to an almost final conclusion. ACF is part of my GA report indicating that we may soon come with a proposal for new working groups. Til now, it was unclear whether we should establish new groups (ACF, sensor netowrks, ad-hoc networks,...) or whether we should enforce the existing ones such as WG 6.8 on wireless communication.
Please give us input about the WG 6.2 chairmanship. Only one potential candidate is known to me: Georg Carle from Tuebingen. Geord would be willing to come to paris for the second day of the mmeting, i.e. on Saturday only due to time conflicts. He would (or will) present his concepts for the further life of WG 6.2. I have already invited him to attend.
Best regards Otto
p.s.: Getting back no answer at all when you distribute a question for comments is not untypical. It happens for many messages. We are not even informed about established conferences which will have there next event in less than three month from now. Obviously, some WG chairpersons expect that I seek via Google in order to find the corresponding information. (And French based chairpersons don't make an exception of that observation) It has to be stated that I will not be able to continue this tedious and superfluous Google search activities. I really don't know what to do.
