CALL FOR PAPERS<br>
The IEEE LCN conference is one of the premier conferences on the
leading edge of practical computer networking. LCN is a highly
interactive conference that enables an effective interchange of results
and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers. During 28
years of this conference, major developments from local networks to the
global Internet and the World Wide Web have been tracked. <br>
<br>
In 2004, we are targeting embedded networks, wireless networks,
ubiquitous computing, and security as well as management aspects
surrounding them. We encourage you to submit original papers describing
research results or practical solutions. Paper topics include, but are
not limited to:<br>
- Local Area Networks<br>
- Personal/Wearable Networks<br>
- Embedded Networks<br>
- Wireless Networks<br>
- Home/SOHO Networks<br>
- Network to the Home<br>
- High-Speed Networks<br>
- Optical Networks<br>
- Storage-Area Networks<br>
- Peer-to-Peer Networks<br>
- Overlay Networks<br>
- Network Management<br>
- Mobility Management<br>
- Location-dependent Services<br>
- Ad-hoc Environments<br>
- Network Traffic Characterization<br>
- Performance Evaluation/Measurement<br>
- Quality-of-Service<br>
- Congestion Control/Behavior Control<br>
- Network Reliability<br>
- Network Security<br>
- Adaptive Applications<br>
<br>
Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at
the conference. Full papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages, 10pt
font in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within the
general scope of the conference. Short papers are an opportunity to
