Announcement and Call for Papers
The Second IEEE Workshop on Internet Applications (WIAPP '01)
July 23-24, 2001
San Jose, CA

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~gribble/wiapp01

Innovations in Internet applications continue to have ever-growing
impact on our world, resulting in a surge of research interest in
both applications and the network infrastructure that supports
them.  Networks and applications have a symbiotic relationship, each
vastly affecting the other. On one hand, applications must take
into account network performance, transport protocol design, and
higher-level protocol design to achieve acceptable performance and
robustness.  On the other hand, emerging network technologies are
being determined in part by the kinds of applications that we wish
to run on them.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading application and
network designers from academia and industry to exchange ideas about the
problems they are facing and the functions they are expecting each other
to provide.   Topics of interest to this workshop include (but are not
limited to) the network effects on applications, and the application
effects on networking, of:

        Caching and replication    Content delivery
        Electronic commerce        Information retrieval & searching
        Internet telephony         Metacomputing
        Mobile computing           Monitoring
        Quality of service         Reliability & high availability
        Security                   Streaming media
        Traffic measurement/       Web/database integration
        modeling

We encourage papers that present well-developed research results, but
also papers that are more speculative in nature.  Participants will
be invited based on the originality, technical merit, and topical
relevance of their submissions, as well as the likelihood that the
ideas expressed in their submissions will lead to insightful technical
discussions at the workshop.

Authors should submit full papers of no more than 10 pages in length,
using 11 point font.  Papers must fit properly on US letter-sized paper
(8.5 x 11 inches).  Extended abstracts will not be considered.
Detailed submission instructions will be posted to the workshop web
site by December 1st, 2000.

Important Dates:

Submissions due:                February 1, 2001
Acceptance notification:        March 29, 2001
Camera-ready copy due:          May 4, 2001
Conference:                     July 23-24, 2001

All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, to be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
