I notice the program for the IEEE International Conference on Wireless LANs
and Home Networks includes a Keynote speech from Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, who
is described as an "Inventor of Internet Technology".
If you're interested in the history of packet-switching, the (D)ARPAnet and
the internet, earlier this year the Computer Journal (Volume 44 number 3,
issued) published posthumously a paper by my illustrious predecessor Donald
Davies entitled "The Beginnings of Packet Switching".

CALL FOR PAPERS
ICCC / IFIP
6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING
at Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
ELPUB2002 - "Technology Interactions"
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/elpub02/
Hosted by the Institute for Print and Media Technology of Chemnitz Technical
University, Germany and by the Department for Computer Science and
Engineering, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic
November 06 -09th, 2002
Electronic Publishing is an area that is crossed over other areas such as
E-commerce, Digital Libraries, Distance Learning, etc. New technologies keep
appearing everyday in the Electronic Publishing arena. These interact not
only among them, but also with all these areas, and not always in the same
way. The "What, Where, How, and Why" questions about these technologies
interactions is the main theme of the 2002 ElPub conference.
ELPUB2002 is the 6th in a series of annual international conferences on
Electronic Publishing. The objective of ELPUB2002 is to bring together
researchers, managers, developers, and users working on the issues related
to electronic publishing for public, scientific and commercial applications.
The conference will continue the tradition of the previous conferences
which took place in Great Britain in 1997, Hungary in 1998, Sweden in 1999,
Russia in 2000 and England in 2001.
PROGRAMME
The focus is on electronic publishing for academic and industrial purposes
and for the general public. There will be two tracks: a general track and a
technical track. The General track aims to provide an overview of the main
issues of the area, such as Human, Cultural, Social, Economic and Legal
issues. The Technical Track, on the other hand, aims to provide a more in
depth view over the state of the art technologies, applications and tools
worldwide. We welcome speakers on the following topics:
GENERAL TRACK
- New Publishing Models;
- New services for the Web;
- Old Actors - New Roles: Scholars, Publishers, Librarians, Journalists,
Teachers, etc. and Electronic Publishing in E-Commerce, Digital Libraries,

- Standards and recommendations from well-established bodies and their
comparison.
TECHNICAL TRACK
- Using XML and its related technologies(XSL, XSLT, DOM, XLink, XPath, ...);
comparing its use with older technologies (like DBMS, for instance);
- Development and use of XML applications (XHTML, MathML, NewsML, RDF...)
and tools;
- Development and use of Metadata vocabularies, application profiles and
metadata registries;
- Development and use of codification mechanisms and technologies for
metadata encoding (RDF, Topic Maps,...);

- Mechanisms for the integration of recommendations, standards and standards
proposals.
THE LIST OF TOPICS IS NOT MEANT TO BE EXHAUSTIVE AND SUBMISSIONS ON ANY
TOPIC WITHIN THE OVERALL CONFERENCE THEME WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Berlin, Germany
Sponsored by IFIP WG6.2
Working Group on Network and Internetwork Architecture
Technical co-sponsorship by
the IEEE Communications Society
Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking
In cooperation with COST263
Quality of Future Internet Services
SCOPE
PfHSN is a successful series of workshops providing an international
forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas
on protocols for high speed networks. The PfHSN'2002 workshop in Berlin
follows the PfHSN'99 event held in Salem, Massachusetts. (Information
on the history of PfHSN is provided under
http://uluru.poly.edu/~tmoors/test/confs.html#pfhsn .)
In addition to protocols and implementation techniques for high speed
networks, the workshop will focus this year on high-speed and high
performance optical, active, and wireless networks. Original research
contributions are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not
limited to, the high-performance (high-bandwidth/low-latency) aspects
of:
o Protocol development
o Protocol analysis
o High-performance architectures
o Implementation of high-speed protocols
o Maintaining QoS at high speeds
o Experimental studies
o Application-oriented issues
o Application controlled communication systems
o Protocols for distributed multimedia and peer-to-peer
applications
o Protocol implementation tools
o Fast lookup and classification
o Programmable hardware in support of high speed protocols
o High speed active network architecture
o Network processors
o High performance middlebox communication (firewalling etc.)
o High speed measurements
o Optical network protocols
In the past, the workshop has been small (50 to 80 researchers). As a
result, a considerable about of time is devoted to informal discussion.
This year workshop will be limited to 120 participants.
