Call for papers

Incorporating computational capabilities into the network is expected to ease
the provision of value-added services and to accelerate network infrastructure
innovation. Active Network technologies arise in this context as the solutions
for offering a flexible, dynamically customizable and programmable network
infrastructure. Network services are expected to be dynamically customized for
particular types of applications, users or individual packets. As the first
International Working Conference on Active Network held in Berlin, IWAN'99 was
aimed at providing the opportunity for discussions on various views,
frameworks, applications, and implementations of the Active Network
technologies. IWAN2000 follows this line, and also offers the opportunity for
evaluating this emerging technology. Reporting experience and results from
projects and trials are seen as a major goal of IWAN2000.

The scope of IWAN2000 shall include but not be limited to:Submissions should
describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 20
double-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length.

      Architectures and New Concepts for Active Networks 
      Architectures for active (IP) nodes 
      Platforms for the implementation of open active networking and computing architectures 
      Experiences and evaluation of the concepts and implementation 
      Programmable network elements and Active Networks 
      Open Management of Active Networks and generic control and management APIs 
      Security in Active Networks 
      Service creation, deployment, and management across broadband fixed and mobile Active Networks 
      Implementation of Active Network Infrastructures 
      Applications for Active Network Environments 
      Standardization on Active Networks 


Information for Authors

Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published
elsewhere) and be 20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length.
Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 150 words abstract,
