LANMAN 2001 - Call For Submissions
Deadline: EXTENDED to November 15th, 2000

Multimedia services, including voice, can be delivered over wireless links
with end-to-end IP-connectivity. So-called 'hot spots' equipped with
wireless LAN extensions to the Internet are becoming available, and today
provide us with even higher bandwidths. Broadband Internet access is being
provided in a rapidly increasing number of public locations and homes in
urban areas, for example via Gigabit-Ethernet network access. Furthermore,
mobility solutions and IPv6-migration paths are available to provide the
necessary scalability that accommodating millions of users and devices will
require. We have strong reasons to believe that the global networking
landscape regarding personal computing and communication is evolving in a
radically different direction than as outlined in the envisaged smooth
migration paths towards third-generation wireless networks. Then, how are we
going to deal with quality-of-service regarding end-to-end IP-connectivity?
Will QoS  still be part of the network design, when these wireless and high
speed wired networks are becoming increasingly heterogeneous? How will we
provide services and IP-connectivity across these heterogeneous networks
(also belonging to different ISPs)? Will our home networks become part of a
global computing and communication Infrastructure? What about security
issues? What role are new technologies, such as long-range Bluetooth and
HyperLAN II going to play in this field? Where will DWDM systems at terabit
per second speeds and 10 gigabit per second Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ae) take us
regarding local networks and backbones? Does it reduce or eliminate the need
of content caching and how does this relate to large-scale user-mobility,
especially since we envisage wireless Internet to provide real-time or
streaming media?

This workshop provides an informal setting for discussion and debate on such
questions and issues that affect the technological and business evolution of
local and metropolitan area networks, with special attention devoted to
high-speed and shared media, wireless technologies. A single-track paper
session is planned. Papers should be short, focused, and provide a forum for
discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas. Novel and speculative ideas
are especially encouraged.
