July 1, 2003, the deadline for paper submission to IEEE INFOCOM 2004,
to be held in Hong Kong, March 7 - 11, 2004, is rapidly approaching.
The Call For Papers can be found at
http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2004/.
We are well aware that there is concern about SARS among some
potential authors. However, the lifting of the travel advisories on Hong
Kong
by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Center for Disease
Control (CDC) affirms that SARS is under control. There has not been
any new SARS case in Hong Kong for the past several days. Of all the
cities under WHO travel advisory in the rest of China, Beijing is the
only
one which remains on the list, although we expect it to be removed soon.
While we continue to closely monitor the situation, be assured that we
do have contingency plans. We will see what happens the rest of this
year and will be prepared to reevaluate the situation in late November
before the Advance Program is published.
For now, we would like to reassure you all that IEEE INFOCOM 2004
will be held as planned. We encourage you to submit your work before
July 1, 2003, and be considered to present your paper in a beautiful
setting overlooking Hong Kong Harbor.
You may also be interested to know that to welcome the world back to
Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Tourism Board has prepared "coupons"
to
enhance overseas visitors' experience. These coupons will be available
for download from the INFOCOM website soon, and you can redeem them
when you come to Hong Kong next March.
