Dipak,
If our conferences are of good quality, there is no such risk. If they are *not* of good quality, they will disappear anyway. There is no room for losers these days. This is the Darwinistic approach. And it is time to realize that.
Either we are where the best are, or we will be invisible soon.
So we have to go ahead, ... or retire.
That's also why it is crucial that IFIP publications be available on line. On the free NEC research index (http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs), the conferences (and also authors, papers, ...) are already ranked by numbers of citations. This is even more dangerous for some of our conferences. And IFIP cannot escape from that trend.
Best regards, Guy

Guy, Be careful. This could be competitive disadvantage as well. With best regards Dipak

Dear all,
A web page with a list of networking conferences, and statistics thereof, is being established and maintained by Kevin Almeroth. See email below.
May I advise every TC6/WG chairman to collect statistics about his WG conferences and send the information to Kevin.
IFIP conferences should appear in this list too ...
All the best, Guy

Just wanted to point everyone to:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/%7Ealmeroth/conf/stats/
I wanted to start keeping track of submission rates, accept rates, percentages, and other misc information.
If you have information to fill in the gaps, I would appreciate it.
Also, if you have other conferences you'd like tracked, let me know, and I'll add them... of course, they only get added if I have data to fill in.
