At present, a primary technical objective is to provide advanced IP networking services to support an evolving set of new applications like, for example, IP-telephony, video teleconferencing, Web TV, multimedia retrieval, remote access to and control of laboratory equipment and instruments. To achieve the objective, the Internet must transition from a best-effort paradigm without service differentiation to one where specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements can be met for different service classes in terms of bandwidth, delay and delay jitter. Another crucial goal is the ubiquitous deployment of a wide variety of advanced services over the global network resulting from the effective integration of wireless and satellite segments into the future Internet. Although many researchers and engineers around the world have been working on these challenging issues, several problems remain open. The 2001 edition of the Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications, focused on the Evolutionary Trends of the Internet, will constitute a highly selective forum aimed to cover diverse aspects of the next generation of IP networks. The single-track workshop program will be structured in technical sessions organized by leading researchers in the field, which will accommodate invited and regular papers selected on an open-call basis. The technical program will also include a poster session, where presentations will refer to short papers reporting prominent - but still in progress - research work. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by three members of the International Program Committee. Accepted papers (both regular and short) will be published by Springer-Verlag in the workshop proceedings, which will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. Contributions are solicited on all topics concerning advanced research issues in IP networking, including (but not limited to): - QoS in the next generation Internet - Real-time services support over the Internet - Multicast and routing in IP networks - Mobile and wireless Internet access - Satellite IP networking - WDM technologies for the next generation Internet - Performance analysis of Internet protocols Paper Submission Guidelines Manuscripts to be considered as regular papers should be original work limited to 20 double-spaced pages. Work-in-progress papers to be considered for the poster session should be limited to 10 double-spaced pages. Any paper submitted to the Workshop must not have been published in or submitted to other technical conferences/journals. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. The preferred format for electronic submission is PDF suitable for Acrobat Reader, or Postscript. All submissions must be sent to the workshop General Chair.

           2001 Tyrrhenian International Workshop on
                    Digital Communications

                          IWDC 2001

            Evolutionary Trends of the Internet

In recent years the Internet has seen a tremendous growth in terms of
amount of traffic and number of users. At present, a primary
technical objective is to provide advanced IP networking services to
support an evolving set of new applications like, for example,
IP-telephony, video teleconferencing, Web TV, multimedia retrieval,
remote access to and control of laboratory equipment and instruments.
To achieve the objective, the Internet must transition from a
best-effort paradigm without service differentiation to one where
specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements can be met for
different service classes in terms of bandwidth, delay and delay
jitter. Another crucial goal is the ubiquitous deployment of a wide
variety of advanced services over the global network resulting from
the effective integration of wireless and satellite segments into the
future Internet. Although many researchers and engineers around the
world have been working on these challenging issues, several problems
remain open. The 2001 edition of the Tyrrhenian International
Workshop on Digital Communications, focused on the Evolutionary
Trends of the Internet, will constitute a highly selective forum
aimed to cover diverse aspects of the next generation of IP networks.
The single-track workshop program will be structured in technical
sessions organized by leading researchers in the field, which will
accommodate invited and regular papers selected on an open-call
basis. The technical program will also include a poster session,
where presentations will refer to short papers reporting prominent -
but still in progress - research work. All submissions will be
peer-reviewed by three members of the International Program
Committee. Accepted papers (both regular and short) will be published
by Springer-Verlag in the workshop proceedings, which will be
copyrighted and widely disseminated.

Contributions are solicited on all topics concerning advanced research
issues in IP networking, including (but not limited to):

- QoS in the next generation Internet
- Real-time services support over the Internet
- Multicast and routing in IP networks
- Mobile and wireless Internet access
- Satellite IP networking
- WDM technologies for the next generation Internet
- Performance analysis of Internet protocols


Paper Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts to be considered as regular papers should be original
work limited to 20 double-spaced pages. Work-in-progress papers to be
considered for the poster session should be limited to 10
double-spaced pages. Any paper submitted to the Workshop must not
have been published in or submitted to other technical
conferences/journals. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.
The preferred format for electronic submission is PDF suitable for
Acrobat Reader, or Postscript. All submissions must be sent to the
workshop General Chair.
