Dear WG 6.1 - 6.11 chair(wo)men.
it is about time to prepare the reports for the upcoming TC6 meeting in Bangkok.
Please send your reports to me not later than October 31, 2004 in order that I can include them in the meeting documents.
There is a request that event statistics should be collected (see below for details). Peter (Radford) promised to put together that information but we need most information from you - in some cases you might have to contact IFIP secretariat.
It would be very helpful if you send your report for meeting 2004/2 in Bangkok *** as well as your previous report for meeting 2004/1 in Athens *** also to Peter Peter.Radford@logicacmg.com. Please ensure that the copy of your Athens report reaches Peter no later than Oct. 15, 2004.
Best wishes Otto
------------------------------------------
Procedure for collecting the TC6 event statistics (as proposed by Augusto Casaca):
1. Insert the names of the conferences that have occurred since the last update. You get those names from the TC6 calendar (the example table for 2003 is attached).
2. The event number is taken from the ERF approved by IFIP.
3. City, Country, Type, Year are taken from the TC6 calendar.
4. Number of submissions, number of accepted papers, percentage, number of tracks and number of registered attendees are provided by the WG chair under which the conference is organized. This is information that the WG chair has compulsorily to include in his report according to the present format of the WG reports for the TC6 meeting. Sometimes you can get the information in advance if you ask the WG chair.
5. The publisher is known from the TC6 calendar and/or the WG chair.
6. The event proceeds are obtained from the IFIP Secretariat. christine.mckenzie@IFIP.or.at or eduard.dundler@IFIP.or.at
7. The book royalties and books sold are obtained from Kluwer reports to IFIP meetings. In case of Springer you get them from the IFIP Secretariat. This needs to be updated every year as the publisher continues to sell books every year.
