Abstract: IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the first World Computer Congress held in Paris the previous year.A federation for societies working in information processing, IFIP's aim is two-fold: to support information processing in the countries of its members and to encourage technology transfer to developing nations.As its mission statement clearly states:IFIP is the global non-profit federation of societies of ICT professionals that aims at achieving a worldwide professional and socially responsible development and application of information and communication technologies.IFIP is a non-profit-making organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers.It operates through a number of technical committees and working groups, which organize events and publications.IFIP's events range from large international open conferences to working conferences and local seminars.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 generally smaller and occasionally by invitation only.Their purpose is to create an atmosphere conducive to innovation and development.Refereeing is also rigorous and papers are subjected to extensive group discussion.
