*Call For Papers*

Active and programmable networking has, over the past several years, laid the foundations of providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures can bring the right services to the customer at the right time and location. The methods and technologies explored in active and programmable networking research have helped to realise the trend towards ad-hoc networks, autonomic computing and communications, sensor networks and content-aware distribution. Also, active and programmable networks will continue to play an important role in future network architectures where the Quality of Service aspects of performance, security and resilience are crucial. IWAN 2005 brings together members of various communities using active and programmable network techniques to address the above challenges, and it provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results.

However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active and programmable networking topics:

* Architectures and new concepts for programmability and flexibility in networks * Standardization of frameworks * Secure and robust network operation * Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies * Self-organizing and self-managing networks * Cognitive networks * Design and development methodologies and tools * Overlay networks * Storage in networking * Active and programmable technologies for Grids * Security within programmable and active frameworks * Applications and experiments * Service creation, deployment, and management * Programmable network elements and devices * Network processor platforms * Hardware and software platforms for autonomous infrastructures * Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms * Programmability and software radios * Content- and context-aware distribution * Autonomic programmable networking * Building complex systems

*Information for Authors:*

Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 10 single-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length.

Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 150 word abstract, and list of keywords. Identify the author responsible for correspondence, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series.
