--Hi Carl-Uno,
Would it be possible for you to forward this announcement to the mailing list of the IPP working group? I think many members of the IPP WG would be interested in attending the WISEN workshop.
Thank you!

Workshop on Internet-Scale Event Notification (WISEN)
July 13-14, 1998 McDonnell Douglas Auditorium, UC Irvine Irvine, California USA http://www.ics.uci.edu/IRUS/wisen/
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES & AGENDA
WISEN aims to gather participants from industry and academia who are working on or researching event notification systems or protocols for use on the Internet. Communities interested in notification such as web authoring, instant messaging, buddy lists, workflow, and internet printing should find this workshop highly relevant.
The goals of the workshop include developing a better understanding among the different communities of interest, improved definition of requirements for an event notification service, a better appreciation of the application domains that will benefit from an event notification service, and suggestions for fruitful research directions.
The first day will feature a single track of presentations from invited speakers. The second day will feature presentations from invited speakers in the morning, and parallel breakout sessions in the afternoon. The workshop will end with participants gathering for a summary of the breakout sessions.
Breakout sessions are currently planned on the topics of:
* What are the requirements for internet scale event notifications? * What set of technologies can be leveraged to create an internet-scale notification service? * What are the scaling factors for internet event notifications? * What applications most benefit from an internet notification service? * What are the security considerations for notifications?
