IARIA Workgroup on Advances on Systems

Workgoup Meeting, April 13, 2010 - Menuires, The Three Valleys, French Alps, France
17:30 - 18:30

Attendance: TBD

Agenda: one tutorial was presented:

Protecting Critical Telecommunications and Networking Infrastructure

as well as three keynore speeches:

Multimedia Data Distribution and Processing in IP Networks
Cyber-physical systems for aeronautical applications
I have a Dream - Vision on Database Technology

and an expert panel:

Robustness in Real-time Complex Systems

Tutorials are posted at http://www.iaria.org/tutorials.html

Keynote speeches are posted at http://www.iaria.org/speeches.html

Discussions:

The promotion of young researches and PhD candidates was again reinforced; they can play different roles, and they are encouraged of being session chairs.
An open call to suggest regular refresh to the topics for ICONS 2011was launched
Please have a look at ICONS 2011
Suggestions are welcome at petre@iaria.org
The procedure of invitation-only for extended versions of selected papers among those presented for on-line IARIA journals, with no additional fees, was appreciated.
See: www.iariajournals.org

Suggestions:

Continue with ‘Poster’ and ‘Work in Progress’ tracks
Definitively, the technical program committee must be tuned to reflect new topics and assure a fair peer-to-peer review process.

Special topics for further consideration:

It is the IARIA Board position that everybody should benefit the same access and service during the conference; some suggested to have partial services and reduced registration fees for students. A detailed discussion went on the structure of the registration fees, simply sharing with the audience where each penny goes.
A particular suggestion will be implemented from the next event: Student Consortium.
Another suggestion was to have many POPs; while feasible, the drawback is that this will split the community. A try will be prepared for the next event.

Proceeding publications:

The option to publish in an open digital library was discussed; this will allow having all the proceedings of the co-located events on the same CD Proceedings, and full free access to any publication.
This issue will be carried further on to the IARIA Board to careful attention.
It was suggested that some national research Centers encourage scientist to rather publish in openly searchable digital libraries.

Next steps:

Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges
Extend invitations for ICONS 2011 committee membership
Attract scientists in the committee to cover the newly intended areas

ICONS 2011:

Announce the new topics with the CfP for ICONS 2011
The plan is to update it accordingly for ICONS 2011
Location: St. Maarten, The Netherlands Antilles
ICONS 2011 will be organized under GlobeNet 2011, in January 2011

Workgroup Meeting, Wednesday 2nd, 2009 - Cancun, Mexico
17:30 - 18:40

Attendance: 13

Special:

Everyone was impressed by the quick move from Guadeloupe to Cancun
The story was analyzed as ‘lessons learned’

Agenda:

No particular presentations were scheduled.
However, three tutorials

1. Cyber-Security: Current Practice and Future Trends
2. Mobility and Multi-access in Emerging Internet Architectures
3. Protecting Critical Telecommunications and Networking Infrastructure

were presented at GlobeNet 2009, along with two keynote speakers:

1. Goals and Policies for Telephony
2. Data Management for the Web: XML Standardization and Database Technology

See: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2009/ProgramICONS09.html

The tutorials are posted at http://www.iaria.org/tutorials.html
The keynote speeches are posted at http://www.iaria.org/speeches.html
Excellent discussions around these special talks.
There were discussions on enlarging the dissemination of ICONS (Claudia Arezio Ricardo)
Help is expected from all the committee members for a careful dissemination, avoiding spamming
The promotion of young researchers was appreciated (Julien Henaut); more work to be done offline with volunteers (Daniela Dragomirescu, Bernd Stadlhofer, Thomas Vlk).
It was an open call to suggest regular refresh to the topics under the Call on ICONS
Please have a look at: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2009/CfPICONS09.html
Suggestions are welcome (to petre@iaria.org)
The procedure of invitation-only for extended versions of selected papers among those presented for on-line IARIA journals, with no additional fees, was appreciated. See: www.iariajournals.org
The Poster session ICONS-oriented was well received.

Next steps:

Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges
Extend invitations for ICONS committee membership

ICONS 2010:

Announce the new topics with the CfP for ICONS 2010
The 2009 new explicit topics on “safety in industrial systems” and “Complex systems’ were not sufficiently promoted; as a result not too many papers to select from were submitted.
Location: yet to be defined, most probably in French Alps, Barcelona, or…Guadeloupe
Other locations, in Chile and Brazil, were also discussed; the distance was one of the main criteria when evaluating potential places.
ICONS 2010 will be organized under Globe Net 2010, most probably in March-April 2010
