STUFF:
ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
SAC
2002 was held March 10 - 13, 2002, in Madrid, Spain. It will feature
a track on 'Standardisation
in IT'.
SIIT 2001
SIIT 2001 was held
on October 3-5, 2001, in Boulder, Colorado. It was hosted by the International
Center for Standards Research.
IEEE Communications Magazine
The April issue had a Guest Editorial on 'Innovation in
Telecommunications and IT' (actually, this should have been 'Standardisation
in.............', but never mind). Some information may be found here.
E-mail distribution list
An SIIT
distribution list has beeen established. This list will serve as a
platform for discussions, and to distribute potentially interesting information
on SIIT related issues, events, publications etc.
SIIT '99 - Gleanings
A first conference report (MS-Word) is available, written by Kurt Kosanke of the Cimosa Association. Click here for a PDF version.
Another, probably more biased report (produced by myself; in either MS-Word or PDF) will appear in a later issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine.
Meanwhile, Gary Robinson has written a very kind review of the conference in the Nov./Dec. 1999 issue of the IEEE Micro Magazine.
Likewise, Mostafa Hashem Sherif has written a report in the Jan. 2000 issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine. It has been published in the January 2000 issue. Click here for a preliminary version (the final paper is accessible only for ComSoc members).
Some slides are also available now; sorry for the delay. Please check out the Final Programme.
Finally, I have now got permission from IEEE to publish the proceedings electronically. They can be found here, together with audio recordings of some of the presentations. If you still liked to obtain a printed copy of the proceedings, drop me a note.
Some pictures from the conference will soon be available as well.
A participants list is also available now (in PDF).
Finally, let's not forget our sponsors. Without their
support there would have been no conference. Thanks.
New books on standards
Two books on standards have recently been published. SIIT
people heavily contributed to both, so you might want to check out some
more
information.
Photos
Some photos from the 1999 conference are also available.
To refresh your - hopefully fond - memories or to get an idea of how the
conference was like, click here.
Cheers,
Kai.
