Tutorials and Demonstrations
Proposals for tutorials are solicited. Anyone wishing to provide a
tutorial session should contact the TPC Chair with a detailed
proposal including a stated objective for the tutorial, an outline of
the proposed material and the presenter's expertise and experience in
the proposed subject. Tutorials covering topics important in the
context of new technologies and approaches and are found to be of
special interest for workshop attendees, are especially invited.
Examples include
Overview of Active Networks
Alternative approached to IN (CORBA, Parley, Java, Gen)
Directory Enabled Networks/Policy Based Networking
New IN Access APIs (CPI, CGI, Code fusion)
VoIP Protocols (MEGACO, SIP, PINT)
Overview of Mobile Broadband Agents
Service Architecture for Distributed Applications. Proposals
for demonstrations are solicited.
Proposals should include: the focus area in IN, specific technical
and equipment requirements, and layout and space required setting up
the demo. Those interested in providing a demonstration should
contact the TPC Chair.
Patrons
A number of corporate sponsorships are available. For more
information, contact Kathy O'Hagan, Phone: +1 703-799-3130,
Fax: +1 703 799 4962, E-mail: kohagan@sage-x.com
Submission Instructions
Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published
elsewhere, without the permission of the TPC chair). Submissions
should clearly indicate which topic they are addressing. The
submission should consist of an abstract of approximately 500 words
describing technical topics for discussion and list of keywords.
Together with the abstract a brief curriculum vitae describing how
the presenter is involved in IN is requested.
The abstracts will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee for
relevance, content and originality. The abstract must include the
author's name, affiliation, return address, telephone and fax
numbers, and e-mail address. Authors are requested to ensure that the
contact addresses are correct. If submission is co-authored, the
primary recipient of the correspondence should be presented.
Submissions can be sent electronically as a Microsoft Word document,
PDF, or in Postscript format.
Submissions should be sent to:
