CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

IEEE Second Annual International Conference on Broadband Networks
(IEEE BroadNets 2005)
October 3 - 7, 2005
Radisson Hotel Boston, Massachusetts, USA
http://www.broadnets.org/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

IEEE BroadNets 2005 is an international conference focusing on broadband networking and covers the entire gamut of next generation networks with high bandwidth available for both wireless and wireline networks. The conference consists of the following three symposia:

** Broadband Optical Networking Symposium: It covers WDM technologies, Ethernet and MPLS integration into the optical layer, Next-Generation SONET/SDH, as well as SAN extensions over DWDM/SONET/SDH.

** Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium: It covers mobility, routing for multihop, multimedia QoS and traffic management, cross-layer optimization, MAC and emerging physical layer technologies (UWB, MIMO) for high-speed wireless networking.

** Broadband Applications/Services Symposium: It covers middleware and service architectures for broadband applications, pervasive computing and ubiquitous communications, and universal broadband access for information services.

BroadNets 2005 thus offers a unique forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new results in these important areas.

The technical program as well registration information is available on the conference website at http://www.broadnets.org/
