Networking 2004 is the third event in the series of International Conferences on Networking, organized by the IFIP Technical Committee on Communication Systems (TC6) every two years. Previous events were held in Paris, France, during May 2000, and Pisa, Italy, during May 2002.
Networking 2004 will take place between May 9-14, 2004 in Athens, Greece, the same city that will host the Olympic Games a few months later. The conference is sponsored by the IFIP working groups on Network and Internetwork Architectures (WG 6.2), Performance of Communication Systems (WG 6.3), and Wireless Communications (WG 6.8).
Networking 2004 will be structured along three tracks:
* Networking Technologies, Services and Protocols * Performance of Computer and Communication Networks * Mobile and Wireless Communications Systems
The technical program committee is soliciting papers describing original, previously unpublished, completed research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of computer networking and data communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Active and programmable networks * Analysis and simulation of networking protocols * BISDN and ATM * Broadband wireless access * Caching and delivery of streaming media content * Computer networks modeling and simulation * Composite wireless networks * Cryptography, security and privacy * Internet and web applications * Internet protocols over high-speed networks * Intelligence in networks * Measurement studies of web architectures and protocols * Mobile ad hoc networks * Mobile agents * Mobile Internet * Mobile networks architectures and protocols * MPLS, MPLambdaS, GMPLS * Multimedia over packet-based Networks * Multicasting * Multiple access protocols * Network management systems * Network measurements and testbeds * Optical networks * Pervasive computing * Power management * Quality of service * Quantitative methodologies and tools * Queueing network models of computer and communication networks * Queueing theory * Real-time voice/video Transport over IP Networks * Routing in ad hoc networks * Satellite networks * Self-organising network architectures and protocols * Switching and switch architectures * Scheduling * Traffic engineering * Traffic management and control * Traffic modeling and characterisation * Web performance * Web caching, prefetching and replication * Wireless local and personal area networks * Wireless 2G, 2.5G, 3G networks and beyond * Wireless sensor networks * Wireless and mobile networking and computing * Wireless multimedia systems * Workload characterisation and generation * Special topic: Communication Networks for large-scale events
PAPERS SUBMISSION
Papers must be submitted electronically (according to the instructions in http://www.ece.ntua.gr/networking2004) and their maximum size should be 20 double-spaced pages (using times 12pt as a reference). The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s), as well as the corresponding author's e-mail, telephone number, fax number and postal address.
Because of the size limitation on the final manuscript, and to ensure that the reviewed paper and the final version have a similar size, please take into consideration that the final manuscript should be approximately 5000 words including tables and figures (each table and figure corresponds to 200 words). To make it easy to adhere to the final formatting standard, use as reference a 12-page manuscript formatted with the Springer-Verlag LNCS formatting standard, http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
PAPERS PUBLICATION All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series, http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers, to be considered for publication in special issues of international Journals, like Telecommunications Systems, or Computer Networks.
BEST PAPER AWARD The technical program committee will nominate the conference best paper, to be awarded a cash-prize of $500.
IMPORTANT DATES Full papers due: October 20, 2003 Notification: January 20, 2004 Camera Ready due: February 25, 2004
