Call for Submissions
13th IEEE Workshop on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN 2004)
April 25-28, 2004, San Francisco Bay Area, USA
http://www.ieee-lanman.org
Keynote Speaker : Dr. Lawrence Roberts, Internet Pioneer, CTO and Chairman
of Caspian Networks
The IEEE LAN/MAN Workshop continues its tradition as a leading
forum for discussing the latest technical advances in
networking in the local and metropolitan areas. A focus area
for the upcoming workshop will be metro and access networks,
where optical and broadband wireless technologies are vying to
realize true broadband connectivity, promising abundant,
inexpensive, and readily available bandwidth. Yet the
realization of agile and cost effective metro and access
networks requires both theoretical investigations (including
new architectures, concepts, and economic and service models)
and experimentation (including prototypes, testbeds, and
applications).
Single-track presentations are planned to stimulate technical
exchange among researchers and practitioners with a broad
interest in networking; we specifically welcome submissions on
both optical and broadband wireless networks and relevant
experimental activities. Submissions should be short, focused,
and provide a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary
ideas. Novel and speculative ideas are particularly encouraged.
Extended abstracts are solicited on any LAN/MAN topic
including, but not limited to, the following:
* Optical WDM networks based * Emerging access networks:
on packet, burst, and flow Ethernet in the First
switching Mile, EPONs, FTTx
* Resilient Packet Rings * Measurement and modeling
* Broadband Wireless Access of network operation and
Networks performance
* WiFi roaming services and * Resource provisioning,
architectures QoS, dynamic bandwidth
* IEEE standards (802.3ah, allocation, capacity
.16, .17, .20) placement
* Network survivability, * Routing
self-healing rings * Community networks and
* Topology adaptation, services
reconfigurability * Pricing, multi-vendor
* Optical network interoperability
management, security
The 13th LAN/MAN workshop will be held April 25-28, 2004 in the
San Francisco Bay Area, California. The workshop's proximity to
Silicon Valley places it at the center of innovation for
emerging networking technology.
Submission, Review and Publication: Please submit a 2-4 page
extended abstract, including figures and tables. All abstracts
must be electronically submitted in PDF according to the
guidelines in the workshop website http://www.ieee-lanman.org.
Abstracts and copies of slides will be included in the
proceedings, so please do not send or prepare full papers.
Selected papers will be directed to a post-conference journal
publication.
