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 soc~eties working in information processing, IFIP's aim is two-fold: to support ~nformatlonprocessing within its member countries and to encourage technology transfer to developing nations. As its mission statement clearly states, IFJP's mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical orgariizatior~ whcch etlcowages and assists in the development, exploitation and applicatiorl ofirEfbrnzatiorz technology for the benejt o f all people. IFIP I S 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; Work~ngconferences. 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 h ~ g h . As w ~ t hthe Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may be ~nvitedor 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 worklng conferences are often published as collections of selected and edited papers. Any nat~onalsociety 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 ent~tled 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 rlghts. 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.
