Dear Prof. Gatani,

Thanks for your explanation, and your admission of a "deplorable mistake"
in your failure to cite the source due to strict page constraints.

However, we did some additional research and found three papers of
yours with similar statements, none of them cited the source:

Reinforcement Learning for P2P Searching
Found in: Seventh International Workshop on Computer Architecture for
Machine Perception (CAMP'05)    pp. 303-308

An Adaptive Routing Protocol for Ad Hoc Peer-to-Peer Networks
Found in: Sixth IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless
Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM'05)

An adaptive routing mechanism for P2P resource discovery
Found in: Fifth IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and
the Grid (CCGrid'05) - Volume 1

We are not convinced that the page constraints applied also to each
of these papers. We also noticed that some later publications by
others cited your papers, but not the Akavipat et al paper, indicating
that the apparent plagiarism did have a negative impact on the
authors of the original paper.

Needless to say, we are disappointed by our findings. Unless you
can satisfactorily address these issues within two weeks, this
message serves as notification that plagiarism has been found and
the result of our investigation will be reported to relevant parties
for possible further action consistent with ACM's Policy and
Procedures on Plagiarism, starting with your public apology to the
original authors and to the publishers of your relevant papers.

Thanks for your attention.
