Infocom 2000 Call for Papers, Dan Panorama Hotel, Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 26-30, 2000

For the last 18 years Infocom has been the major conference on computer communications and networking, bringing together researchers and implementors of every aspect of data communications and networks presenting the most up-to-date results and achievements in the field.

The 19th annual conference on Computer Communications, Infocom 2000, will be held at the Dan Panorama Hotel in Tel-Aviv, Israel, during the week of March 26-30, 2000. The conference is sponsored by the technical committees on computer communications of the IEEE Communications and Computers Societies.

The Infocom 2000 organizing committee is soliciting original papers describing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of computer networking and data communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Active Networks BISDN and ATM Billing and Pricing Congestion and Admission Control Distributed Network Algorithms High-Speed Network Protocols Integrated Control of Networks Intelligent Networks Internet Internetworking Lightwave Networks Multicast/Broadcast Algorithms	Multimedia Protocols Multimedia Terminals and Systems Multiple Access Network Architectures Network Design and Planning Network Management and Control Network Reliability Network Restoration Network Signaling Network Standards Network and Protocol Performance Optical Networks	Personal Communications Systems Photonic Switching Protocol Design and Analysis Quality of Service Routing and Routing Protocols Security and Privacy Switch Architectures Testbeds and Measurements Traffic Management and Control Video Networking Wireless Networks and Protocols

Papers must be submitted electronically in the manner and format detailed below. Authors for whom this presents a severe problem should contact one of the technical program committee co-chairs to discuss alternatives.

Papers must be formatted according to the IEEE standard double-column format, except the font size, which must be 11pt. The file IEEEformat11.pdf contains a sample.

To make it easy to adhere to the formatting standard we offer templates and samples for Latex , MSWord , and FrameMaker .

Submission must be in PDF. However, the committee will also accept Postscript from Latex, FrameMaker, or MSWord source file. Postscript papers must use only standard PostScript fonts: Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica. (Postscript output from MSWord typically does not work on non-Microsoft platforms. The use of the Apple LaserWriter II printer driver is strongly recommended). The above formatted papers can be submitted in a compressed form (gzip, zip, compress).

Because of the size limitation on the final manuscript, and to ensure that the reviewed paper and the final version have a similar size, papers with more than 11 pages will not be reviewed.

Papers must be submitted electronically using the electonic submission Web site. This web page contains exact instructions. The submission process includes providing detailed contact information. To save space authors can omit this information from the paper itself. Authors will receive an immediate notification of the successful receipt of the file containing their paper. Subsequently, a notification will be sent if the paper cannot be printed successfully.

Submissions will only be accepted until July 5th, 1999; No extensions beyond this date will be granted.

Submission deadlines are strict! Papers that have been improperly submitted or improperly formatted by the submission date will not be considered. To avoid last minute problems, authors are encouraged to submit their papers well in advance of the deadline.

Each paper will typically be reviewed by three independent reviewers whose reviews will be relayed to the correspondence author. To facilitate the review process authors will be asked to classify the paper according to a list of categories so that the most appropriate reviewers handle the paper. This year a new step will be introduced into the process and authors may have a chance to provide a limited rebuttal of the review before the program committee makes its final decision.

Limited travel assistance to students, post-docs and junior faculty for defraying some of the costs of presenting a paper in the conference will be available. Please refer to the conference web sites for further details later this year.
