by Emilio Madaio 28 May '13

28 May '13

Dear colleagues, As part of the Cosmetic Surgery Project, the RIPE NCC is moving forward with a review of the policy document ripe-513, "Value of the "status:" and "assignment-size:" attributes in INET6NUM objects for sub-assigned PA space". At the request of the proposers of the original policy proposal that produced ripe-513, we’re sending a reminder about the document review and inviting the IPv6 Working Group Mailing List and Database Working Group Mailing List subscribers to participate in the review process. A draft of the policy document is now online and ready for community review at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/readability/improving-the-readability-of-ripe-doc… We encourage you to read the edited draft of ripe-513 and send any comments to <address-policy-wg at ripe.net> by 10 June 2013. Kind Regards, Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

MERIT Darknet Experiment, Guidance Sought in Routing WG
by Daniel Karrenberg 15 May '13

15 May '13

Some of you may remember the short discussion here last November about the MERIT Darknet experiment and the subsequent change in our permission to MERIT. This RIPE meeting we have heard a presentation from MERIT/US-DHS about first results: https://ripe66.ripe.net/presentations/121-v6darknet-ripe2013.pdf Given this, the RIPE NCC is seeking guidance on what our permission to MERIT should be in the future. Here are a couple of slides which we will present in the routing-wg: https://ripe66.ripe.net/presentations/259-20130515-v6-darknet.key.pdf Any reactions are welcome. I suggest to have any discussion over on routing-wg(a)ripe.net. Daniel

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science
by nelsonsteves＠hushmail.com 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP ( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia from University of Georgia, USA. We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: (1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa (2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic (3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance (4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model (5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer (6). Laptop is an example for a super computer (7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning. However, it was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP. DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one of the conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers about WORLDCOMP. If WORLDCOMP is not fake then why did DBLP suddenly stopped listing the proceedings after? The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from “scientific” to “other” (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. See the comments http://www.mail-archive.com/tccc@lists.cs.columbia.edu/msg05168.html of a respected researcher on this. Better not to have a paper than having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever! Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business, using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and threatens the critiques of WORLDCOMP (see Item 7 in Section 5 of http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf ).That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers published at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets. Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP until 2012) has refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their image being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. WORLDCOMP’13 will be held at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013. The paper submission deadline for WORLDCOMP’13 was March 18 and it was extended to April 6 and now it is extended to April 20 (it may be extended again) but still there are no committee members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact details available on WORLDCOMP’s website is just an email address! Prof. Hamid Arabnia expends the deadline to get more papers (means, more registration fee into his pocket!). Let us make a direct request to Prof. Hamid arabnia: publish all reviews for all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference. Reveal the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also request him to look at the Open Challenge at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and people. We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com Search Google using the keyword worldcomp fake for additional links.

Host tracking in IPv6 (SI6 Networks' IPv6 toolkit v1.3.3)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, We have released the SI6 Networks' IPv6 Toolkit v1.3.3. It is available at: <http://www.si6networks.com/tools/ipv6toolkit> (including a gpg-signed tarball). This minor update incorporates the "--tgt-known-iids" option, which can be used to track IPv6 nodes across networks, even if they employ the so-called "Privacy Address" (and yes, that includes Microsoft Windows systems).
