   GENERAL INFORMATION

   The  2003  IEEE  International  Conference  on High Speed Networks and
   Multimedia  Communications  (HSNMC03)  is  sponsored by the IEEE, IEEE
   ComSoc  and  IEE.  HSNMC03  is  organized  by  academic,  research and
   industrial  societies  and  will  be  held  at Estoril, Portugal, from
   Wednesday  July 23 to Friday July 25, 2003. HSNMC03 will take place at
   Hotel Atlântico, in Estoril, facing the beautiful Cascais Bay. Estoril
   is about 20 minutes from Lisbon International Airport.

   HSNMC03  is  the  6th conference of a successful series started, under
   the name of International Conference on ATM (ICATM), in Colmar (1998),
   and  subsequently  held  in  Colmar  (1999),  Heidelberg (2000), Seoul
   (2001) and Jeju (2002).

   In   order  to  encourage  closer  interaction  between  academic  and
