SPECIAL FOCUS
Foundations of IT in the Era of Network and Mobile Computing
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Original and significant contributions on the special focus and on foundational
questions are sought from all areas of theoretical computer science.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS
A submission should consist of: 1) a cover page, including the track name,
the title of the paper, names and affiliations of authors, an abstract up to
300 words, and the contact author's name, address, phone number, fax
number, and email address; 2) the paper, which should provide a summary
of the main results and their details to allow the program committee to
assess their merits and significance, including references and comparisons.
Submissions are limited to 14 A4-size pages, in 11 point or larger font.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into a clearly marked
appendix.
The result of the paper must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere, including journals and the proceedings of other symposia or
workshops.
One author of each accepted paper should present it at the conference.
The Proceedings will be published by Kluwer, the official publisher of
IFIP.
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit electronically. A detailed
description of the electronic submission process will be found at the
conference
web site. Unprintable Postscript and Postscript submissions not formatted
for 8.5x11 inch paper will be rejected without consideration of their merits.
Authors who do not wish to submit electronically are invited to submit hard
copies by the following procedure: (a) The authors must first send an e-mail
to the relevant Vice-chair to state the intention of submitting hard copies
by November 25, 2001; (b) The authors must send 10 copies (printed
double-sided if possible) of the submission, INDICATING the conference title,
to the address below to be received by December 3, 2001. (c) Authors from
locations where access to reproduction facilities is severely limited may ask
for permission of submitting a single copy by first sending an e-mail to the
relevant Vice-chair at or before November 25, 2001.

LINKAGE SESSION : "Autonomous Agents-Control and Security"
A join invited session co-organized by TCS 2002 and IIP 2002
Autonomous software agents provide a fascinating metaphor for complex
software systems in a networked society. Leading researchers from three
different IT communities, represented by TC1 (Foundations of Computer
Science), TC9 (Relationship between Computers and Society) and TC12
(Artificial Intelligence), will give a comprehensive overview of
foundations, societal aspects and AI contributions.
