Call for Participation Call for student travel award applications

ACM SIGCOMM 2003 -- A Data Communication Festival 25 - 29 August 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003

We invite participation in SIGCOMM 2003, which broadens the traditional scope of the conference in a number of ways. The conference technical program contains significantly more papers, with the goal of diversifying the topic set and balancing theory and practice. Additionally, a wide range of viewpoints is represented in the position paper session, and a poster session will showcase work-in-progress with particular emphasis on student research. A set of workshops and tutorials are interleaved with the technical conference to encourage participation by all attendees. Five workshops are held for the first time, covering networking research (MoMeTools & NREDS), future architectures (FDNA), network-I/O convergence (NICELI), and a QoS retrospective (RIPQoS). The highly successful education workshop (NetEd) returns for a second year. Tutorials given by renowned experts cover network security and self-similar traffic.
