                                 HSN 2002
                           Part of Globecom 2002

                              CALL FOR PAPERS

   New generations of local, metropolitan, wide-area, access, and
   wireless networks are pushing the envelope on network speeds. Faster,
   more capable networks herald the convergence of voice, video, and data
   and promise to facilitate applications ranging from video-conferencing
   to grid computing. However, the challenges are many, requiring
   improved network architectures, protocols, routers, switches, and
   components, appropriate programming and operating system support,
   novel approaches for network management, security, and quality of
   service, sensible migration paths, and successful pilot studies.

   The High-Speed Networks Symposium 2002 (HSN'2002) will be held as part
   of Globecom'2002 to address these and other topics relevant to
   high-speed networking. Globecom is the flagship annual conference of
   the IEEE Communications Society and this year will be held in Taipei,
   Taiwan, from November 17 to 21.

   Researchers, developers, and practitioners of all areas of industry,
   academia, and governmental agencies of all nations are encouraged to
   submit papers to HSN'2002. Topics of interest include but are not
   limited to:
     *  Last-mile solutions, pilot studies, and deployment projections
       and evaluation
     *  Metropolitan-area networks, including Metro Ethernet and
       Resilient Packet Rings
     *  Optical networks, including switching technologies, dynamic
       provisioning, protection, and restoration
     *  Wireless networks, including 802.11x, 3G/4G, and All-IP
     *  Novel mechanisms for scheduling, buffering, switching, routing,
       and multicast
     *  Programming and operating system support for network processors
       and high-speed nodes
     *  Network management, traffic engineering, quality of service, and
       security in high-speed networks
     *  Inter-layer interactions (e.g., IP/SONET and electrical/optical)
       and interoperability in high-speed networks
     *  Viability studies and migration paths, e.g., from ATM to
       (G)MPLS-based core networks
     *  Governmental initiatives and regulatory agenda and concerns
     *  Applications, including video-conferencing, video-on-demand,
       telecommuting, VPNs, network-based storage, thin clients, grid
       computing, and respective pilot studies and deployment evaluation

   Papers should be at most 5 pages long and conform to Globecom 2002
   guidelines. Papers must be submitted electronically via the Globecom
   2002 web site at:

                                http://www.globecom2002.com/submissions/ 

   To ensure proper paper routing, authors should indicate that their
   papers are being submitted to the High-Speed Networks Symposium. It is
   suggested that contact authors also send to the HSN'2002 co-chairs
   (jcb@dnrc.bell-labs.com & andreaf@utdallas.edu) an email message
   containing their papers' title, abstract, and author list. Each paper
   will be refereed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be
   published by IEEE in the Proceedings of Globecom 2002.

   Best paper award

   IEEE TCGN will distinguish with its Best Paper Award one paper
   submitted to HSN'2002. This paper will be selected by the HSN'2002
   technical program committee.

   Student travel grants

   IEEE Communications Society will award a limited number of grants to
   authors who are full-time students and need to travel from another
   region to present an accepted paper at HSN'2002.

   Other sessions

   In addition to refereed paper sessions, HSN'2002 will feature a
   keynote address on optical networking by Dr. David Lee (Head of Bell
   Labs Research China) and a panel discussion on metropolitan networks
   organized by Prof. Hui Zhang (Turin Networks and Carnegie Mellon
   University).

   Important dates
     * Submission deadline: March 18, 2002
     * Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2002
     * Camera-ready version due: August 15, 2002
     * Presentations: November 18-20, 2002
