Hello Donald: I saw your call for papers for Uniforum 2000, it looks interesting. > I believe this is the only conference left in New Zealand where there's > room for serious technical content. (I'd be interested if anyone >knows of another one.) How about Passive & Active Measurements Workshop, PAM2000 see http://pam2000.cs.waikato.ac.nz This is a two-day workshop on network measuremnts, with about 20 papers from all over the world. If you're interested in this, it's not too late to register, you can do that on the Web site. (This is the first PAM workshop, I hope they'll become an annual event, but - alas - they'll probably be hosted at other places around the world).

Uniforum NZ 2000 Call for Papers
by Donald Neal 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

In case people missed it, the Call for Papers has now been issued for this year's Uniforum NZ conference . It says in part: "UniForum is about systems interoperability and the future direction of computing. ... We would particularly welcome abstracts about NDS, DNS and Active Server implementation and integration. We look for technical implementation abstracts on Linux, Win2K, Cluster computing and on web based applications. ... If you have an idea which you believe will be of interest and value to the NZ technical community please submit an abstract. SAGE-NZ will also be participating with UniForum this year, so system administration topics will have a dedicated stream, as well as the inclusion of ISOCNZ and internet papers. This residential conference provides an immersion environment where the speakers and attendees have extended opportunities in the "social" interludes to discuss the concepts being presented." "Important Dates for most speakers: NOW!! Registration of Interest March 22nd Commitment to Present a Paper April 5th Abstract and Speaker Profile Required April 19th Notification of Presentation Acceptance August 23rd Publication Materials Required" See http://www.uniforum.org.nz/ for full details. I believe this is the only conference left in New Zealand where there's room for serious technical content. (I'd be interested if anyone knows of another one.) - Donald Neal --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Since there's been discussion in here regarding DDOS, perhaps someone here may be interested in the new cyber crime website http://www.cybercrime.gov/ It tells you how to report a crime, what they do etc. Lin (one of those who read nznog via the web archive) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Another replacement part is being flown down from Auckland > this morning. This is an excellent example of why DOMAINZ should not be the only registrar for .nz. Fortunately under the current system, ISP's dont need the DOMAINZ website to maintain the registry. Under the new system, a failure of the DOMAINZ site will bring us all to a halt. A business critical site should be located on a bullet proof dedicated host, and in the unlikely event of failure, be setup so a move to another host is doable in minutes, not days. regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day.com -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Everybody Would Understand
by Joe Abley 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

Interesting comment in today's Herald: The question being asked in telecommunications circles is, how did it happen? Such systems are supposed to be fail-safe. Had a contractor put a digger through a fibre optic cable servicing the exchange, everyone would have understood. But not so the failure of a complex marriage of computer equipment from several international suppliers. Protecting the network from backhoe surgery is easy -- you just throw in diverse paths around any potential single point of failure. A "complex marriage of computer equipment from several international suppliers" on the other hand sounds like a recipe for disaster :) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
