CALL FOR PAPERS
1st IEEE European Conference on Universal Multiservice Networks
ECUMN'2000
IP Networks Versus Conventional Switched Networks
October 2-4, 2000 - CREF, Colmar, France

URL: http://iutsun1.colmar.uha.fr/ECUMN2000.html

Conference Scope:

This conference follows the two successful ATM conferences events held in
Colmar, France in 1998 and 1999. The conference scope has been extended to
deal with the different topics related to Multiservice Network
Architectures, and Implementation, including among others, protocols,
signaling, traffic flow, addressing schemes, …

Fundamental questions still have to find an answer, such as:

How will the Internet, symbol of freedom, compete with the world of
traditional carrier networks or cooperate with it? 
Will alternate Technologies be needed to meet high level quality of service
requirements ?
What restrictions, if any, will result on the desired degree of freedom ?

Emphasis shall be put upon network convergence, including fixed/mobile
convergence  satisfying the needs of person to person communications, as
well as  Information and Entertainment applications.

The scope of ECUMN'2000 encompasses but is not limited to:

Evolution of Telecommunication Networks Architecture:
	*	Core network
	*	Access networks
	*	CPN (Customer Premise Networks including home networks)
	*	Multiservice mobile networks
	*	Interoperability issues, Interfaces and Reference points
Packet, frame and cell protocols:
	*	Addressing
	*	Multicasting
	*	Switching and routing
	*	Signaling
	*	Traffic control and QoS
Network management and control:
	*	Network design - Migration strategies
	*	Active networks versus Intelligent networks
Service impact (multimedia, VPN, ...) on network architecture:
	*	Fixed-Mobile Convergence
	*	Packetized voice
	*	Experimentation and fields trials

With such a variety of problems to be solved, and such high economical
interests at stake there is a definite interest to exchange ideas,
technical results and proposals, between the academic and industrial
communities and this is the major goal of the conference.

Instructions for Authors:

Mail four paper versions or E-mail preferably in Word 6 format, or
alternately a postscript version of a 2000-word extended abstract
summarizing an original work finalized or in progress. All the manuscripts
must be written in English. The top of the first page of each paper should
include the title of the paper, authors' name, position, address, telephone
and fax numbers, Email of the author responsible for correspondence and a
list of four keywords at least. 

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit full-length
manuscripts for inclusion in the proceedings. All submitted papers should
be sent to the following address:

Important Deadlines:

Extended abstract due: February 11, 2000
Notification of acceptance: April 10, 2000

paper will be organized to recognize and encourage excellence in graduate
studies.

Tutorials:

Tutorials will present overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals
tutorials are due by February 11, 2000.
