ICCCN 2007: CALL FOR PAPERS
16TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS
ICCCN is one of the leading international conferences for presenting novel and fundamental advances
in the fields of Computer Communications and Networks. It also serves to foster communication among
researchers and practitioners working in a wide variety of scientific areas with a common interest in
improving communications and networking related techniques.
ICCCN 2007 presents a number of new exciting features:
* Distinguished Invited Talks: Sixteen world-class scientists are invited to deliver Distinguished
Position Talks on current status and future trends of various advanced research topics (see below for
details);
* Chair Recommended Papers: A number of invited research papers with impressive outcomes on various
advanced research topics or cutting-edge techniques will be presented;
* Funding Forum: Funding organization officers, such as NSF/DARPA program managers, are invited to
deliver talks at the conference in order to enhance the communications between researchers and
funding organizations;
* Industry Forum: Senior officers from world-leading industry giants are invited to form a panel to
introduce the latest advances in industry and provide guidance for the future development foci and
interests from industrial point of view;
* Research Labs Panel: A demo panel to demonstrate the latest leading results from world-class
advanced research labs;
* Satellite Workshops: Five or more workshops are running in conjunction with the main conference on
special topics that are complement to the main theme of the ICCCN.
* New registration policy: To encourage more submissions, each registration can be covered up to TWO
accepted papers.

SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS:
Submitted manuscripts must be of length up to 6 pages unless the authors are willing to pay the
over-length charges at the time of publication (any manuscripts may NOT exceed 8 pages). The
manuscripts must be submitted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Files
should be submitted in PDF format and formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper. Submitted papers may NOT have
appeared in, nor be under consideration for, another journal or conference. The Program Committee
reserves the right to NOT review papers that either exceed the above length specification or have
been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include the title, abstract, keywords,
author(s) and affiliation, e-mail address(es), fax/phone number(s), and postal address(es). In case
of multiple authors, indicate which author is responsible for correspondence about the submission.
REVIEW AND PUBLICATION OF MANUSCRIPTS:
All submitted papers will be reviewed and judged on originality, correctness, relevance, quality of
presentation, and technical strength and significance. An accepted paper must be registered and
presented by one of the authors at the conference venue and must be limited to 6 pages (with an
allowance of up to two extra pages at a cost of US$150 per extra page beyond 6 pages) in standard
IEEE camera-ready format. Each registered author is allowed to cover up to TWO of his/her own papers.
STUDENT FORUM: We encourage submissions from students. Travel assistance may be available for
students with top quality papers.
BEST PAPER AWARD: ICCCN07 plans to award one best paper and authors of the paper will be recognized at the conference.
WORKSHOPS: ICCCN07 features satellite workshops. Workshop proposals should be submitted to the
workshops chair, Dr. Xiaobo Zhou at
zbo@cs.uccs.edu. The details of Call for Workshop Proposals can
