CALL FOR PAPERS - IFIP IWAN 2003

Fifth International Working Conference on Active Networks 10 - 12 December 2003 Kyoto, Japan www.iwan2003.org (available soon) www.activenets.org/iwan2003

IMPORTANT DEADLINES Paper submissions 27 August 2003 Tutorial proposals 12 October 2003 Poster and demonstration submissions 12 October 2003 Acceptance notification 20 October 2003 Revised papers, posters, tutorials 23 November 2003 Camera-ready papers for proceedings 18 December 2003

Active networks aim at providing easy introduction of new network services by adding dynamic programmability to network devices such as routers and switches. While in the early days of research in this area the focus was on the basic mechanisms needed for moving and installing code in the network, research now has shifted towards the real benefits active network technology may provide: Network programmability and service deployment architectures bringing just the right services to the customer at just the right time and location. It is obvious that with the accelerating trend towards mobility, ad-hoc networks, and content-aware distribution, active and programmable networks will play an important role in future network architectures.

At IWAN 2003 we aim at bringing together members of the various communities using active and related techniques, and provide a forum for discussion and collaboration, involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover the application of active techniques to all aspects of network based communication, including active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals and active management. In addition, the meeting will have a focus on relating customer needs and customer oriented services to active techniques. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results, however, we will welcome high quality descriptive contributions, where the ideas are particularly novel, or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of other groups.

Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - Architectures & new concepts for active networks, systems, environments - Applications for active networks, systems and environments - Peer-to-peer communication using active network technology - Hardware & software platforms for implementation of active services - Network processor platforms for active networks - Programmable network elements and devices (including PDAs, soft radio) - Security in active networks and systems - Active networks for mobile and ad-hoc networking - Content- and context-aware distribution using active networks - Cognitive networks using active network technology - Service creation, deployment, and management - Design and development methodologies and tools for active services - Implementation of active network infrastructures - Experiences and evaluation results - Standardization of active network frameworks

INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS:

Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 20 double-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 e-mail address. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. The best papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of a journal.

PROPOSALS FOR TUTORIALS: IWAN 2003 will organize full-day or half-day tutorials covering any aspect of active and programmable networks. Proposals should be sent to the submission addresses and must include an extended abstract (2-4 pages) containing a description of the topic and intended audience, a biography of the speaker(s), and an indication of length (half or full day).

POSTER SESSION: Authors may choose to present their on-going work in a poster session. Please look up instructions for submission on the IWAN 2003 website.

DEMONSTRATIONS: Facilities will be provided for demonstrating results of work in the topical areas of the conference. Demonstration proposals may be submitted in conjunction with papers, posters, or independently.

ADDRESS FOR SUBMISSION: Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF or Postscript format. For more information, contact addresses, and submission procedure visit http://www.iwan2003.org.
