Dear All,

This time our guest for Project "Visions from the IT Engine Room" is Augusto Casaca, Chairman of IFIP TC 6 on Communication Systems.

Augusto is a professor at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal and leader of the Research Group on Network Architecture at INESC. He has worked on Digital Systems Design and Computer Architecture and was involved in international research projects on networking and standardization activities.

He loves music and sport. "After playing basketball for about 15 years" says Augusto, "I convinced myself that my height was not the most appropriate to have a huge success in that sport and I moved into tennis and golf".

With this introduction may we invite you to click here -> http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/tcvisions.htm and follow the link under Augusto's photo.

We strongly recommend this interview to all communication gurus and to everyone who wishes to know more about IFIP TC 6 whose 30th Anniversary [ref. http://www.ifip.or.at/secretariat/tc6.pdf ] was selected as the IFIP 2002 Event of the Year.

Enjoy,

The Delivery Co.

Fun zone - joke lovers only!

And here is a nice one for a chuckle and to wish you a great weekend :-)

On a rural road a policeman pulled a farmer over and said, "Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the car several miles back?"

To which the farmer replied, "Thank God, I thought I had gone deaf!"
