Dear colleague,
The organization committee is most delighted to invite you to ACM SIGCOMM 2007, the first SIGCOMM in Asia to be held at Kyoto International Conference Hall in Kyoto, Japan. SIGCOMM2007 is the annual conference of the Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM), a vital special interest group of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
The Web site for the conference is http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/
IMPORTANT DATES ----------------- Paper Submission: Jan. 31, 2007 Acceptance Notification: May 4, 2007 Camera Ready Due: Jun. 5, 2007 Conference: Aug. 27-31, 2007
CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- The SIGCOMM 2007 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of computer and data communication networks. We invite submissions on network architecture, design, implementation, operations, analysis, measurement, performance, and simulation.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Analysis and design of network architectures and algorithms - Experimental and measurement results from operational networks - Fundamental insights into network and traffic characteristics - Network fault-tolerance and reliability, debugging, and troubleshooting - Network management and traffic engineering - Network security, vulnerability, and defenses - Network, transport, and application-layer protocols - Networking issues for Web, multimedia, and gaming applications - Operating system and other host support for networking - Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks - Resource management, quality of service, and signaling - Routing, switching, and addressing - Tools and techniques for network measurement and simulation - Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks
SIGCOMM 2007 solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in two-column ACM conference format. SIGCOMM is a selective conference where full papers typically report novel results firmly substantiated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis.
OTHER EVENTS AT SIGCOMM ----------------------- As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2007 will have tutorials, workshops, a poster session, a student travel grant program, a GeoDiversity travel grant program, and a Student Paper Award. We are also soliciting proposals for tutorials, due by Nov 3, 2006. Please contact Tutorial Chairs for further details on tutorials: Paul Francis francis@cs.cornell.edu Hiroshi Esaki hiroshi@wide.ad.jp
WORKSHOP CFP ------------ SIGCOMM 2007 will hold multiple one day workshops that will be scheduled Monday August 27 and Friday August 31, 2007, in Kyoto Japan. The SIGCOMM conference is co-located in Kyoto August 28-30, 2006.
The workshop CFP Web page is: http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/cfw.html
We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to computer communication and packet networking before November 3rd, 2006 to Paul Francis francis@cs.cornell.edu. As this is the first SIGCOMM in Asia, we encourage proposals that deal with topics of special interest to Asia.
A workshop proposal should contain at least: - a draft call for paper (as complete as possible) - the workshop deadlines (internal and external) - tentative composition of the committees - motivation and rationale for the workshop, expected number of submissions and participants - list of potential supporters, if any
