Dear IFIP TC6 members,
I have now to attribute the chair positions for the sessions of Autonomic Networking conférence (4 positions are available). Autonomic Networking 06 is the join conference of IWAN, WAC, IntelComm and SmartNet. Let me know if you are interested in such a chairpersonship.

I'll be attending for sure, but due to teaching commitments that are not yet finalized, I cannot guarantee a slot where I'll be there for sure.

 
As one of the flagship conference of TC6, you are invited to register in this conference through the web site.
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

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 would be nice to have a WG addressing fully Autonomic Communications/Networking in TC6. Clearly WG6.7, hosting events like INTELLCOMM, SMARTNET and IWAN, is somehow already addressing this topic. Similarly, WG6.6 on management is also addressing AC. And finally, NETCON is also in a related area (don't remember in which WG it is).

Would it make sense to have 3 WGs (6.6, 6.7 and ACF) intersecting that much, or would it be better to keep only 2 WGs, possibly reshaped, with one of them clearly addressing Autonomic Communication/Networking?

I'm just tring to figure out what would be the ideal struture of TC6, but I would support getting ACF on board in one way or another.

Best regards,
Guy


Best regards,
Guy

ACF (Autonomic Networking Forum) is a forum created two years ago. There are 600 members. Radu Popescu Zeletin is at the head of this consortium. One of the potential proposal that could be an output of the ACF meeting in Paris during the Autonomic Networking Conference could be to propose to become a Working Group of the IFIP. This WG focus could be on the normalization of AC interfaces and environment (this is an output of discussions held some time ago in a conference in Mykonos). So the TC6 could propose officially this solution and let the ACF continues its very strong work within the TC6  with a large freedom. This could be a strong action of the TC6.
