First International Conference on Access Networks Accessnets 2006, Athens, Greece Sept 4-6 2006.
www.accessnets.org Call for papers The access area is represented by a technology alphabet soup spanning wired, wireless and legacy networks is seen to be rapidly emerging with a strong and sustained technological and business growth. Research has led to massive development and deployment in the access networking space leading to significant efforts in merging the bandwidth bottleneck between ever growing PC speeds and the high speed network core. In addition to broadband services, the access area also represents consumers that desire pervasive as well as ubiquitous services. Therefore, the access network is a hot investment pool from both a financial as well as a research perspective. Accessnets is a forum that brings together scientists/researchers from academia and managers/engineers from the industry and government organizations to meet and exchange ideas and recent work in this emerging area of networking. Accessnets will be held in the beautiful and historic city of Athens Greece in the Summer of 2006, between September 4 and 6. Accessnets will have two technology tracks and a business track. Papers are solicited but not restricted to the following areas:
Passive Optical Networks xDSL technology Long Reach Ethernet over Copper Standards for High speed short haul Ethernet Fiber to the Home, Premise, Curb, Desktop, user Coarse WDM Powerline Communications Coaxial Cable technologies Hybrid Fiber Coaxial technologies WiFi Networks WIMAX networks WIMAX subsystem design OFDM issues in Wireless communications Cross-layer design Cross-Media Networks (Hybrid Media Networks)/ Independent Media Networks Business case issues in Access Networks Municipal and Community Networks Regulatory Issues Deployments in Access Networks Management issues in Access networks Billing consumers in the access area
