Conference goals

Latin America Networking Conference 2003 will provide an international
technical forum for experts from industry and academia everywhere in the
world, but especially from the Latin American countries, to exchange ideas
and present results of ongoing research in networking, with emphasis on
Latin America networking problems.

Some desirable topics

They include but are not restricted to:
Low cost access networks
Sensor networks
Low rate communications
National/Regional communication infrastructures
Wireless and Mobile Networking
PC Cluster computation
Applications for productivity

Besides papers covering general network solutions, we want to especially
encourage papers that cover solutions oriented to the specific network
problems of this region of the world.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

LANC2003, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers not be
submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication and that
submissions not be previously published. 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. Authors of
accepted papers will need to sign an ACM copyright release form. Electronic
copies of the camera-ready papers will be published on the conference web
site before the conference, unless authors specifically request that this
not be done.

** The deadline for registering a paper, with abstract, is midnight (Central
European time), Friday June 27, 2003.

Before submitting the paper, please prepare it following the Anonymity
Guidelines and if possible following the Formatting instructions.

Anyway, the paper should be in .pdf format. Papers are invited on the
conference theme, related topics and general topics. Authors must state that
their paper have neither been published before nor currently being submitted
elsewhere. Full papers should be no more than 15 pages, 12pt, including
figures.

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published at
least electronically by ACM.

TUTORIALS
