GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2004 IEEE International Conference on High Speed Networks and Multimedia 
Communications (HSNMC?04) is technically co-sponsored by IEEE and IEE. 
HSNMC?04 is organized by academic, research, and industrial societies and will 
be held in Toulouse, France, from Wednesday June 30, 2004 to Friday July 2, 
2004. Toulouse is a city located in the South of France on the banks of the 
Garonne river, close to the Pyrénées and halfway between the Atlantic Ocean  and 
the Mediterranean Sea. Aeronautics, space, electronics, information technology 
and biotechnology are the key words for this big city (4th city of France). 
HSNMC?04 is the 7th 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), Jeju 
(2002) and Estoril (2003). 

In order to encourage closer interaction between academic and 
industrial networking research communities, both academic research papers
and industrial contributions are welcome.
