Call
for Papers
The
SIGCOMM
2004 conference seeks papers describing significant research
contributions to the field of computer and data communication
networks. We invite submissions on network architecture, design,
implementation, operations, analysis, measurement, and simulation.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Network,
transport, and
application-layer protocols
-
Networking issues for
Web, multimedia, and gaming applications
-
Routing, switching, and
addressing
-
Resource management,
quality of service, and signaling
-
Operating system support
for networking
-
Wireless, mobile, ad hoc,
and sensor networks
-
Network management and
traffic engineering
-
Experimental and
measurement results from operational networks
-
Network fault-tolerance
and reliability, debugging, and troubleshooting
- Peer-to-peer,
overlay,
and content distribution networks
-
Analysis and design of
network architectures and algorithms
-
Tools and techniques for
network measurement and simulation
-
Network security,
vulnerability, and defenses
-
Fundamental insights into
network and traffic characteristics
We
welcome
two categories of paper submissions -- full papers and position
papers. As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2004 will have a poster
session and student travel grant program. Details
will be posted as they become available.
Full
Papers
Full
papers
are no more than 14 pages long and typically report novel results
firmly substantiated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis.
Instructions on paper submission and formatting are
available here.
Position
Papers
Position
papers are no
more than 8 pages long and attempt to shape research directions by
offering new perspectives, wisdom, and guidance rather than presenting
mature work with quantitative results. Instructions on paper
submission and formatting are available here.
More detailed guidelines
for authors of position papers are available here.
Posters
Posters
are
one 30" x 40" (75cm x 100cm) page long, and present ongoing work.
Student submissions will be favored. For information about the
poster session, contact Prashant
Shenoy.
Tutorials
and Workshops
SIGCOMM
2004 will feature tutorials and workshops. The
call for workshops can found here. More information on the tutorials and
workshops will be available at a later date.
Miscellaneous
There
will
also be a Student Paper Award (chosen by the program committee),
Student Travel Grants, and a SIGCOMM
Award recognizing lifetime contributions. For information about the
Student Travel Grants, contact Tilman Wolf. To
nominate a candidate for the SIGCOMM Award contact Mark Crovella.
