CALL FOR PAPERS ACM SIGCOMM 2001 CONFERENCE August 27 - August 31, 2001 Mandeville Auditorium, UC San Diego, CA, USA. http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2001 Important Dates: Paper submission: January 26, 2001 Tutorial proposals: February 12, 2001 Notification of acceptance: April 23, 2001 Camera ready papers: May 21, 2001 The SIGCOMM 2001 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 2001 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 2001 will offer tutorials by noted instructors on the two days preceding the actual conference, and feature an outrageous opinion session where fresh and unconventional perspectives will be offered. 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/sigs/sigcomm/sigcomm2001/submission/index.htm. Authors not able to comply with these instructions should contact the Program Co-Chairs at sigcomm2001@seas.upenn.edu . 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 2001 web site prior to the conference unless authors specifically request that this not be done. Tutorials: ---------- SIGCOMM 2001 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 travel grant of approximately $500. 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 2001 will be the 2001 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 obtainedfrom Scott Shenker (shenker@aciri.org).

Important Dates:

Paper submission: January 26, 2001
Tutorial proposals: February 12, 2001
Notification of acceptance: April 23, 2001
Camera ready papers: May 21, 2001

The SIGCOMM 2001 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 2001 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
2001 will offer tutorials by noted instructors on the two days
preceding the actual conference, and feature an outrageous opinion
session where fresh and unconventional perspectives will be offered.

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),

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/sigs/sigcomm/sigcomm2001/submission/index.htm.
Authors not able to comply with these instructions should contact
the Program Co-Chairs at sigcomm2001@seas.upenn.edu .  Papers
submitted after the deadline will not be considered without an
