Information Technology: the Need for Convergence between
Industry, Practitioners and Researchers



One of the goals of the International Federation for Information
Processing (IFIP) is to strengthen relationships between researchers
and industry representatives in the vast field of information
technology. Accordingly, the International Program Committee (IPC)
for IFIP 2002 has created a special Industry stream to focus on
practical needs in this area.

At the Montréal conference, papers will be presented in streams of
interest to experienced professionals and practitioners, as well as
those who are new to information and communication technologies. The
IPC plans to structure a strong and interesting program specifically
geared toward IT industry needs.

Paper submission on any of the conference topics are invited. Papers
should make clear the novel aspects of the work they present, and
describe their contribution to the development of information
technology for technical or business issues.


The Montréal Conference in 2002 will provide an opportunity for:

Researchers,
Professionals and information technology experts,
Educators,
Policy Makers,
Vendors and manufacturers,
Learners.
to share actions, present and planned. It will be a conference for
everyone involved in information technology who wish to improve their
know ledge and skills. The purpose is to bring together researchers
and practioners to discuss the state of the art in information
technology, raise questions, state problems, and identify concerns
for further action.


Authors are invited to present:

Papers on current research in organisations and enterprises;
Case studies on using new technologies;
Experiments with methods and procedures in industry and practice;
Success and failures of approaches and technology;
State of the art, technology watch and trends;
Changing role of research in industry;
Linking research and industry, industry research networks;
Developments of practical relevance for practitioners and industry.

to share actions, present and planned. It will be a conference for

STREAM 4 

   General description of the stream 

   Not long ago, communication systems played a minor supporting role in
   the evolution of computing from mainframes, to minis, to PCs and servers;
   today, they are an integral part of almost every aspect of computing, from
   distributed applications to the Internet. Even experts have trouble keeping
   up with all of the latest developments in a field that is growing and
   changing so rapidly. IFIP's Technical Committee on Communication
   Systems (TC6) therefore plans to present a comprehensive "State of the
   Art in Communication Systems" stream at the World Computer Congress
   in 2002. 





   Call for presentations

   The International Program Committee (IPC) seeks authoritative papers
   and/or presentations on the current state of the art in these areas: 

       Architectures and protocols for distributed systems 
       Network and internetwork architectures 
       Performance of communication systems 
       Internet applications engineering 
       Management of networks and distributed systems 
       Smart networks 
       Wireless communications 
       Communication systems for developing countries 
       Photonic networking 
       Communication systems in electronic commerce 

   The intent of this stream is to present the state of the art in each area,
   rather than specific research findings. Individual or collaborative
   presentation proposals from authoritative experts are therefore more likely
   to be accepted by the IPC than traditional technical papers.
   An important goal of the IFIP and of this World Computer Congress is to
   promote understanding and relationships among researchers and people
   working in industry. The IPC is therefore particularly interested in
   proposals that present the state of the art in both research and practice.
