-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] INFOCOM 2004: Updates and Call for Papers Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2003 16:10:45 -0400 From: Thomas Hou thou@VT.EDU Reply-To: thou@VT.EDU To: INFOCOM2004@LISTSERV.VT.EDU
July 1, 2003, the deadline for paper submission to IEEE INFOCOM 2004, to be held in Hong Kong, March 7 - 11, 2004, is rapidly approaching. The Call For Papers can be found at _http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2004/_.
We are well aware that there is concern about SARS among some potential authors. However, the lifting of the travel advisories on Hong Kong by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) affirms that SARS is under control. There has not been any new SARS case in Hong Kong for the past several days. Of all the cities under WHO travel advisory in the rest of China, Beijing is the only one which remains on the list, although we expect it to be removed soon. While we continue to closely monitor the situation, be assured that we do have contingency plans. We will see what happens the rest of this year and will be prepared to reevaluate the situation in late November before the Advance Program is published.
For now, we would like to reassure you all that IEEE INFOCOM 2004 will be held as planned. We encourage you to submit your work before July 1, 2003, and be considered to present your paper in a beautiful setting overlooking Hong Kong Harbor.
You may also be interested to know that to welcome the world back to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Tourism Board has prepared "coupons" to enhance overseas visitors' experience. These coupons will be available for download from the INFOCOM website soon, and you can redeem them when you come to Hong Kong next March.
