SIGCOMM 2005 - Workshop on

delay tolerant networking and related topics (WDTN-05)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. August 20-26, 2005

Goals

   Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. It
   has scaled well beyond the original plan of its designers, and the Internet
   Protocol  has  been carried on a great number of underlying protocols,
   including itself. However, the Internet's protocol architecture suffers some
   problems  when implemented on classes of networks for which it was not
   originally designed. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is
   common, or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of
   the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop, we
   wish to explore physical networks that operate significantly differently
   from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms
   used  to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications
   tolerant  to  disruptions  and/or high delays are also requested. More
   specifically, we solicit papers in the following areas:
     * Physical characteristics of performance-challenged neworks
     * Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks
     * Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks
     * Robust network application design and implementation techniques

   Submissions ranging from presentations of specific systems or network system
   performance to more general, philosophical position papers as to what to do
   about them are welcome. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at
   an  early stage in their development are favored over highly polished,
   journal-style results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, with impact
   and implications for ongoing or future research.

Paper format and submission instructions

   Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, with no characters in
   smaller than 10 point fonts. Submit papers via the WDTN-05 submission site:
   http://blizzard.cs.uwaterloo.ca/DTNCRP

   Papers will be reviewed single blind.
