                        CALL FOR PAPERS


Global Internet & Next-Generation Networks Symposium, one of seven
symposia at 2004 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM 2004),
provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange
the latest technical information and research findings on Internet &
Next-Generation Networking concepts,  technologies, and applications
covering existing deployments, current  developments and future evolution.
 Internet & Next-Generation Networks have progressed into the realm of
optical communications-based, wireless, and mobility-enabled networks
supporting  multimedia applications and services.  This  evolution opens a
huge area of innovation for  new concepts, theory and technology
introduction.


Authors are invited to submit papers on topics related to Internet and
Next-generation Networks including but not limited to:

-Network Support for Applications (e.g., Instant Messaging,
 Peer-to-Peer Networking, Streaming Applications)
-Mobile/Wireless Networking (802.11, Ad-Hoc Networks, WPAN, 3G and Beyond)
-Networking Aspects of Grid Computing
-Storage Area Networks (e.g. ISCSI)
-Web Architectures (e.g., Content Distribution Networks, Load
 Balancing, Caching)
-IP Services and Supporting Technologies (VoIP, VPN, Traffic
 Engineering, MPLS, GMPLS, QoS, Optical Networking)
-Internet Architecture and Protocols (Intra/Inter-Domain Routing,
 Multicast, Flow Control, Security and  Robustness, Next-Generation
 Architectures, IPv6)
-Network Operations and Management Innovations
-Traffic Measurement, Analysis, Modeling and Visualization
-Integration of Heterogeneous Systems (WLAN/Cellular,
 Wireless/Optical, Satellite/Cellular, etc.)
-Home Networking and Broadband Access Technologies
