SIGCOMM is a selective conference where papers discuss novel results,
designs,
or architectural paradigms typically substantiated by implementation,
experimentation, analysis or simulation. Paper formatting and submission
instructions will be posted on the SIGCOMM 2005 web site
(http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2005).
As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2005 will have a poster session, a student
travel grant program, an award for the best student paper and a SIGCOMM
award
recognizing lifetime contribution. SIGCOMM 2005 will also feature tutorials
and workshops. Details will be posted on the conference web site as they
become available.
