   SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

   Authors  are invited to submit complete and original papers. Papers to
   be  submitted  should  not  have  been previously published in another
   forum,  and should not be currently under review by another journal or
   conference.  All  submitted  papers  will  be  refereed  for  quality,
   correctness,  originality  and  relevance.  Of particular interest are
   papers    that    address    experiences    with   concrete   computer
   communications/networks  and  applications.  An accepted paper must be
   presented  by  one  of  the  authors  at  the  conference venue. These
   accepted  papers  will  be  published in the conference proceedings by
   IEEE  Press. All manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages with font size
   10  in  standard IEEE camera ready format (double column). The Program
   Committee reserves the right to decline without review any papers that
   exceed  these length specifications. Submissions also must include the
   title,  author(s)  and  affiliation, e-mail address, fax/phone numbers
   and postal address. In case of multiple authors, indicate which author
   is responsible for correspondence and preparing the camera ready paper
   for  the  proceedings.  Electronic  submission  is required (ps or pdf
   format  is  preferred).   Manuscripts should be submitted by April 16,
   2004 to the ICCCN2004 website.


   STUDENT POSTER SESSIONS:

   The  conference includes student poster sessions that highlight recent
   and  ongoing  research  that  has  not  been  published  elsewhere. An
   electronic (Postscript or PDF) version of the poster must be submitted
   to  the  conference website, along with a 200-word abstract. The first
   author  of the poster must be a student at the time of submission; the
   student  is  expected  to  attend  the conference and be available for
   discussion  during  the  poster  sessions.  Accepted abstracts will be
   published  in  the  conference  proceedings.  Students  with  accepted
   posters  receive  a  discount from the regular conference registration
   fee.


   The  paper  session  and  poster  sessions  are  two fully independent
   conference  tracks,  with separate review procedures. Submitted papers
   are not considered for poster sessions, and poster submissions are not
   considered  for  paper  sessions.  Submission  of  identical  research
   material to both paper and poster sessions is not allowed.
