    Subject: Consider writing a paper for this...

SIGCOMM is the "flagship" conference of the ACM SIG on Communications.
For next year's program we are hoping to extend upward the scope of
the conference as the call for papers suggests. I hope you will
consider writing papers for it.

Call for Papers
ACM SIGCOMM'95 CONFERENCE
Applications, Technologies, Architectures, and Protocols
for Computer Communication
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
August 30 to September 1, 1995
(Tutorials and Workshop, August 28 and 29)
An international forum on computer communication network
applications and technologies, architectures,
protocols, and algorithms.
SIGCOMM'95 seeks papers about significant contributions to the
broad field of computer and data communication networks.
Authors are invited to submit full papers concerned with both
theory and practice. Papers specifically focused on "higher-
layer" issues of network infrastructure, management, and
distributed application services are particularly encouraged.
The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Distributed application infrastructure paradigms;
* Distributed common application services, middleware
protocols;
* Resource sharing, quality of service, multi-media
networks;

* Heterogeneous interworking, large scale networks;
* Network management;

* Important experimental results from operational networks;

* High-speed networks, routing and addressing;

* Wireless networking, support for mobile hosts;

* Analysis and design of computer network architectures and
algorithms; and
* Protocol specification, verification, and analysis.
SIGCOMM'95 is a single-track, highly selective conference where
successful submissions typically report results firmly
substantiated by experiment, implementation, simulation, or
mathematical analysis.

The SIGCOMM'95 committee is planning both an excellent
technical program and related activities. In addition to the
presentation of papers and results, SIGCOMM'95 will offer
tutorials by noted instructors and a workshop on middleware
infrastructure on the two days preceding the actual conference.
We also plan an evening session where speculative results and
outrageous opinions can be presented and discussed.

Papers must be less than 20 double-spaced pages long (formatted
for printing in the Proceedings, papers may not be longer than
12 pages), have an abstract of 100-150 words, and be original
material that has not been previously published nor is
currently under review by another conference or journal.

Important Dates:
Paper submissions: 30 January 1995
Tutorial proposals: 30 January 1995
Workshop position papers: 15 March 1995
Notification of paper accept: 17 April 1995
Camera ready papers due: 22 May 1995

All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and
relevance through double-blind reviewing where the identities
of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors names
should not appear on the paper or in the postscript file for
electronic submissions. A cover letter is required that
identifies the paper title and lists the name, affiliation,
telephone/fax numbers, and e-mail address of all authors.
Authors of accepted papers will need to sign an ACM copyright
release form. The Proceedings of the conference will be
published as a special issue of ACM SIGCOMM Computer
Communication Review. The program committee may also select a
few papers for possible publication in the IEEE/ACM
Transactions on Networking.

Paper submissions should be sent to:
David Clark/Karen Sollins, Program Co-Chairs OR
electronic submissions to: sc95@mercury.lcs.mit.edu

Five copies are required for printed submissions. Electronic
submissions (preferred) should be uuencoded, compressed
postscript. Authors should separately e-mail the title, author
names and abstract of their paper to the program chairs and
identify any special equipment that will be required during its
presentation. Due to the high number of anticipated
submissions, authors are encouraged to strictly adhere to the
submission date.

SIGCOMM'95 will begin with two days of tutorials, each of which
is intended to cover a single topic in detail. Proposals are
solicited from individuals interested in presenting a tutorial,
which may be either a half day (4 hours) or a full day in
length and cover topics at an introductory or advanced level.
Tutorial submissions should be made to the Tutorial Chair and
include an extended abstract and outline (2-4 pages), and an
indication of length, objectives, and intended audience.

SIGCOMM'95 will include a one and one-half day workshop on the
topic of middleware infrastructure. Invitation to the workshop
will be based on submitting a strong technical position paper.
The workshop will focus on exciting and controversial
discussions following short presentations. Interested
individuals should contact the Workshop Chair for further
details on topics and submission requirements.

Student Paper Award: Papers submitted by students will enter a
student-paper award contest. Among the accepted papers, a
maximum of four outstanding papers will be awarded full
conference registration and a travel grant of $500 US dollars.
To be eligible the student must be the sole author of the
paper, or the first author and primary contributor. A cover
letter must identify the paper as a candidate for this
competition.
