The SIGCOMM 2000 conference seeks papers describing significant
research contributions to the field of computer and data communication
networks. Authors are invited to submit full papers concerned with
both theory and practice. Areas of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Distributed application networking infrastructure.
- Distributed common application services,
middleware protocols, and signaling.
- Routing, switching, and addressing.
- Resource sharing, quality of service, multimedia networks,
and OS support.
- Multimedia networking.
- Networking aspects of the WWW.
- Heterogeneous internetworking, large-scale networks.
- Network management.
- Active network architectures and protocols.
- Important experimental results from operational networks
and lessons learned from prototype implementations.
- Wireless networking and support for nomadic computing.
- Analysis and design of computer network architectures and algorithms.
SIGCOMM 2000 is a single-track, highly selective conference at which
successful submissions typically report results firmly substantiated
by experiment, implementation, simulation, or mathematical analysis.
In addition to the technical program (paper presentations), SIGCOMM
2000 will offer tutorials by noted instructors on the two days
preceding the actual conference, and a session during the conference
at which speakers may present speculative results and outrageous
opinions.
Submission Instructions:
------------------------
Papers must be less than 20 double-spaced pages long (formatted for
printing in the Proceedings, papers may not be longer than 12 pages),
have an abstract of 100-150 words, and be original material that has
not been previously published nor is currently under review by another
conference or journal.
Authors must submit papers electronically, using the instructions at
http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2000/submit. Authors not able to
comply with these instructions should contact the Program Co-Chairs,
or send mail to sigcomm2000-info@acm.org for more information. Papers
submitted after the deadline will not be considered without an
ahead-of-time extension from the Program Co-Chairs.
All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and
relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the
authors are withheld from the reviewers. Consult the on-line
submission instructions for information on preparing a manuscript for
double-blind review. Authors of accepted papers will need to sign an
ACM copyright release form and present their paper at the
conference. The Proceedings of the conference will be published as a
special issue of ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review. The
Program Committee may also select a few papers for possible
publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. Electronic
copies of the accepted papers will be published on the SIGCOMM 2000
web site prior to the conference unless authors specifically request
that this not be done.
Tutorials:
----------
SIGCOMM 2000 will begin with two days of full-day and half-day
tutorials covering single topics in detail, at both the introductory
or advanced level. Individuals interested in submitting tutorial
proposals are encouraged to contact the Tutorial Chair before the
deadline to discuss the proposed content.
Student Paper Award:
--------------------
Papers submitted by students may be considered for a student-paper
award, which includes full conference registration and a partial
travel grant. To be eligible, the student must be the sole author of
the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. A cover letter
or email to the Program Chairs must identify the paper as a candidate
for this competition.
SIGCOMM Award:
--------------
The keynote speaker at SIGCOMM 2000 will be the 2000 winner of the ACM
SIGCOMM Award for lifetime contributions to the field of computer
communication. Procedures for nominating candidates for the SIGCOMM
Award can be obtained from Craig Partridge (craig@bbn.com).

The Performance bulletin board is a moderated distribution list sponsored by
ACM SIGMETRICS. It is intended for the exchange of technical information
among members of the performance evaluation community. Typical submissions
include performance-related questions and announcements of research papers,
software, job opportunities, conferences, and calls for papers.
