---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Final CfP: Special session on standards - LCN Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 13:06:32 +0000 From: Kai Jakobs Kai.Jakobs@i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de To: ISWORLD@LISTSERV.HEANET.IE

Hello All,

This CfP is probably most interesting for the rather more 'technically inclined':

LCN 2001, the 26th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks, is planning to include - for the first time - a session on problems and issues related to standards and standardisation within its domain (see below).

Don't be put off by the conference title - this is more of a historic remains. Just have a look at the topics listed in the Call (further information may be found at http://www.ieeelcn.org/).

If you happen to work on standards in networking and telecommunication, this might be a good opportunity for you (and going to Florida in November doesn't seem to be such a bad idea either .........)

If you need further information please do ask. Oh, and if you are planning to submit something, please let me know.

I look forward to many interesting submissions.

Cheers, Kai.

>>> CALL FOR PAPERS <<<

LCN 2001 The 26th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN)

Tampa, Florida November 14-16, 2001

The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on leading edge and practical computer networking. Our unique approach stimulates a workshop environment and enables an effective interchange among researchers, users, and product developers. During 25 years of this conference, we moved from the local network to the global Internet and World Wide Web. Now we move into the realm of Personal Area Networks, wearable networks and ubiquitous computing. Papers that cover these areas are explicitly sought and will be given preference. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or practical solutions. Paper topics include, but are not limited to:

- Wireless Networks - Personal Area Networks - Wearable Networks - Always On / Always Connected - Mobility Management - Location-dependant services - Local Area Networks - Home Networks - Small Office Networks - Storage Area Networks - Optical Networks - High Speed Networks - Network Management - Network Security - Network Reliability - Network to the Home - Quality of Service / Congestion Control - Adaptive Applications - Anything-over-IP - IP-over-Anything - Performance Evaluation / Measurements - Protocol Design and Validation

Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at the conference. Full papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the conference and may be up to 10 camera-ready pages in length. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary or interim results and are limited to 2 camera- ready pages in length. A best paper award will be presented. Several student travel scholarships may be available courtesy of the LCN corporate supporters. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. The correspondence author must be clearly identified.

Paper submission: Papers must be submitted electronically. Manuscript submission instructions can be found at http://www.cs.bonn.edu/lcn2001. Authorsfor whom electronic submission presents a severe problem should contact the program chair:

Prof. Dr. Peter Martini University of Bonn, Institute of Computer Science IV Roemerstr. 164 D-53117 Bonn, Germany E-mail: lcn2001@cs.bonn.edu

Important dates: Paper submission deadline: May 18, 2001 Notification of acceptance: July 20, 2001 Camera-ready paper due: August 17, 2001
