Call for Submissions
13th IEEE Workshop on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN 2004) April 25-28, 2004, San Francisco Bay Area, USA http://www.ieee-lanman.org
Keynote Speaker : Dr. Lawrence Roberts, Internet Pioneer, CTO and Chairman of Caspian Networks
The IEEE LAN/MAN Workshop continues its tradition as a leading forum for discussing the latest technical advances in networking in the local and metropolitan areas. A focus area for the upcoming workshop will be metro and access networks, where optical and broadband wireless technologies are vying to realize true broadband connectivity, promising abundant, inexpensive, and readily available bandwidth. Yet the realization of agile and cost effective metro and access networks requires both theoretical investigations (including new architectures, concepts, and economic and service models) and experimentation (including prototypes, testbeds, and applications).
Single-track presentations are planned to stimulate technical exchange among researchers and practitioners with a broad interest in networking; we specifically welcome submissions on both optical and broadband wireless networks and relevant experimental activities. Submissions should be short, focused, and provide a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas. Novel and speculative ideas are particularly encouraged.
Extended abstracts are solicited on any LAN/MAN topic including, but not limited to, the following:
* Optical WDM networks based * Emerging access networks: on packet, burst, and flow Ethernet in the First switching Mile, EPONs, FTTx * Resilient Packet Rings * Measurement and modeling * Broadband Wireless Access of network operation and Networks performance * WiFi roaming services and * Resource provisioning, architectures QoS, dynamic bandwidth * IEEE standards (802.3ah, allocation, capacity .16, .17, .20) placement * Network survivability, * Routing self-healing rings * Community networks and * Topology adaptation, services reconfigurability * Pricing, multi-vendor * Optical network interoperability management, security
The 13th LAN/MAN workshop will be held April 25-28, 2004 in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The workshop's proximity to Silicon Valley places it at the center of innovation for emerging networking technology.
Submission, Review and Publication: Please submit a 2-4 page extended abstract, including figures and tables. All abstracts must be electronically submitted in PDF according to the guidelines in the workshop website http://www.ieee-lanman.org. Abstracts and copies of slides will be included in the proceedings, so please do not send or prepare full papers. Selected papers will be directed to a post-conference journal publication.
Important Dates: Submissions Due: Dec. 30, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: Feb. 15, 2004 Workshop: April 25-28, 2004
Attendees: The number of workshop attendees is limited.
