Hello peter,
yes, please communicate this to Roger Johnson. We might even invite him to attend our meeting (as in Tozeur). But the minimum success would be that we get information about publication in a very early stage.
Best regards Otto
Gentlemen (I was about to type "Guys" and thought better of it!)
Would you have any objections to my raising this with Roger Johnson? (Either simply forwarding the dialogue so far or just asking him what is happening?) I think it would aid our discussions if we had an update as to what is expected to happen with "new Springer".
Regards
Peter

Dear Otto,
It would be interesting to have (again) an agenda item on 'publications' at the next TC6 meeting. This is a crucial issue. Especially because I don't see clearly where IFIP is going in this business.
If I remember correctly, July 1st 2004 opens a new IFIP publication era/contract with so-called new Springer (KAP, Springer). But what does it mean in practical terms? I hope we'll get some official document stating the official IFIP publication policy in due time before our meeting. If you have it, please circulate it.
Anyway, this new ACM international proceedings series is certainly worth considering, and I'm ready to present/discuss it in Athens.
Best regards, Guy

ACM has started a new international proceedings series. See http://www.acm.org/pubs/icp_series.html
IMHO this is a very nice publication channel, much more attractive for conferences than the more costly and less visible IFIP's "new Springer" (KAP, Springer) channel possibly coupled with an IFIP Digital Library.
IAB (In aller Bescheidenheit = IMHO = In my humble opinion?) this is an interesting point. Would you "defend it" at our next meeting in Athens? Please remind me that we make an agenda point out of it.
Best regards Otto

Dear Otto,
Let me give my opinion on the publishing of TC6 conference proceedings. As you know this was a point in which we have worked hard during the last years. We reached a situation in 2003, in which a large number of our conferences were publishing in the LNCS of Springer and a few ones were publishing in Kluwer. This seemed to be an acceptable situation because, as far as I know, the publication in the LNCS of Springer resolved most of our concerns and our conference organisers were happy too.
We knew that we had to take a decision in 2004 having in view the choice of a new publisher by IFIP. However, we have been told by the editor of the LNCS that the continuation of TC6 publication in LNCS would be welcome regardless of the new choice of IFIP.
I do not know at all what were the conditions offered in the different bids of the publishers to IFIP. However, I think, and this was my knowledge after the last GA in 2003, that the bid from LNCS would be a different one from the new Kluwer/Springer. This needs to be confirmed, but if this is the case, it means that we still have two possibilities for publication: new Kluwer/Springer or LNCS.
Of course we need to analyse the new possibilities that are opened to us with the new Kluwer/Springer and the ACM series of proceedings referred by Guy. However, to change again of publisher in our conferences, I feel that we must have clear advantages in the new offers.
In order to be able to take a decision in our next meeting it would be good if we could have the exact conditions offered by the new IFIP publisher, to know which were the conditions offered by the other proposals and to know if publishing in LNCS is still an option. I hope also that Guy can report on the ACM proceedings series.
Have a nice weekend
Best regards
Augusto
