Building International Consensus
IFIP -The International Federation for Information Processing
IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the First World Computer
Congress held in Paris the previous year. An umbrella organization for societies working in
information processing, IFIP's aim is two-fold: to support information processing within its
member countries and to encourage technology transfer to developing nations. As its mission
statement clearly states,
IFIP's mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which encourages
and assists in the development, exploitation and application of information technology for the
benefit of all people.
IFIP is a non-profitmaking organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers. It operates
through a number of technical committees, which organize events and publications. IFIP's
events range from an international congress to local seminars, but the most important are:
• The IFIP World Computer Congress, held every second year;
• open conferences;
• working conferences.
The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and contributed
papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the rejection rate is high.
As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may be
invited or submitted. Again, submitted papers are stringently refereed.
The working conferences are structured differently. They are usually run by a working group
and attendance is small and by invitation only. Their purpose is to create an atmosphere
conducive to innovation and development. Refereeing is less rigorous and papers are subjected
to extensive group discussion.
Publications arising from IFIP events vary. The papers presented at the IFIP World Computer
Congress and at open conferences are published as conference proceedings, while the results of
the working conferences are often published as collections of selected and edited papers.
Any national society whose primary activity is in information may apply to become a full
member of IFIP, although full membership is restricted to one society per country. Full members
are entitled to vote at the annual General Assembly, National societies preferring a less
committed involvement may apply for associate or corresponding membership. Associate
members enjoy the same benefits as full members, but without voting rights. Corresponding
members are not represented in IFIP bodies. Affiliated membership is open to non-national
societies, and individual and honorary membership schemes are also offered.

Acknowledgements
We sincerely thank all of the workshop and conference participants and
all the authors for their valuable contributions. We appreciate the efforts of
the scientific and the technical committee that helped to plan and organise
the workshops and conference and provided their time to review and im
prove the quality of the papers published herein. Special commendation is
due to Ted Goranson and Martin Zelm, both of whom have been committed
to the success of the ICEIMT activities this time and in the previous initia
tives.
We greatly appreciate the efforts of EADS, Gintic, NIST, and IPK for
providing venues for the enormously productive workshops preceding the
conference. We are grateful to the Polytechnic University of Valencia, espe
cially to Professor Francisco-Cruz Lario Esteban, Director of the Centre for
Investigation and Production Management and Engineering (CI-GIP). He
and his team provided the resources and facilities to create an environment
that made the conference a great forum for learning and exchanging new
ideas to further inter-and intra-organisational interoperability.
Finally we thank the European Commission and NIST for their financial
support, which enabled us to involve key people and host the workshops in
Asia, Europe and the USA enabling a more global participation in the initia
tive. We are happy to acknowledge the support of the International Federa
tion of Information Processing through the IFIP TC5 WG 5.12, leading to
the publishing of these proceedings as an IFIP Publication.
