-
- The Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group
- on Data Communication (ACM SIGCOMM) is a professional society of
- people throughout the world who share an interest in computer
- communication networks. For information about ACM and SIGCOMM,
- contact Patrick McCarren at ACM headquarters (Bitnet:
- mccarren@acmvm; Internet: mccarren%acmvm.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu).
-
- The annual SIGCOMM conference will be held in San Francisco,
- California (USA) during the week of 13-17 September 1993. The
- conference provides an international forum for the presentation
- and discussion of communication network applications and
- technologies, and reports of recent technical work and proposals
- in the areas of communication architectures, protocols,
- algorithms, and applications. Three all-day tutorials will be
- offered on Monday and Tuesday (13-14 September), followed by
- the conference itself on Wednesday through Friday (15-17 September).
- For further information about the conference, to which
- all interested parties are invited (whether SIGCOMM members or
- not), send an electronic mail message to sigcomm93@cse.ucsc.edu.
-
- The conference is single-track, and the number of sessions and
- papers varies with the number of accepted submissions. In the
- past the conference has accepted about 25 papers from well over
- 100 submissions. Successful submissions typically report results
- that are firmly substantiated by experiment, implementation,
- simulation, or mathematical analysis. Authors are invited to
- submit full papers concerned with both theory and practice.
-
- The areas of interest for the conference include, but are not
- limited to, the following: Analysis and design of computer
- network architectures and algorithms; innovative results in local
- area networks; mixed-media networks; high- speed networks;
- routing and addressing; support for mobile hosts; resource
- sharing in distributed systems; network management; distributed
- operating systems and databases; and protocol specification,
- verification,and analysis.
-
- All submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter
- containing a list of all of the authors, giving in each case the
- author's name, affiliation, telephone number, electronic mail
- address, and facsimile telephone number (all information about
- authors must be placed on a separate cover page, so that this
- information can be removed before the paper is sent to
- reviewers). Papers must not exceed 20 double-spaced pages in
- length, and should be accompanied by an abstract of 100-150
- words. All submitted papers will be reviewed, and will be judged
- with respect to quality and relevance. To be considered for the
- 1993 SIGCOMM Conference, papers must be submitted by February 22,
- 1993. The authors of accepted papers will be notified by May 7,
- and must submit camera-ready copy by June 11.
-
- Submit five paper copies (by postal mail) or one PostScript(tm)
- file (by electronic mail) of each paper to the program chairman
- before 22 February 1993:

-
- Authors considering submitting a paper for inclusion in the
- SIGCOMM '93 conference are encouraged to obtain more information
- about the topical areas and characteristics of past selected
- papers by sending an electronic mail message to sigcomm93-author-
- info@umbc3.umbc.edu. The authors of accepted papers will be
- expected to sign an ACM copyright release form. The Proceedings
- of the conference, which will contain all selected papers, will
- be distributed at the conference and published as a special issue
- of the ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review. The program
- committee may also select a few papers for possible publication
- in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
-
- Papers submitted by students may be entered in the student-paper
- award contest. Among the accepted papers, a maximum of four
- outstanding student papers will be awarded full conference
- registration and a travel grant of US$500. To be eligible for
- this competition, the student must be the sole author of the
- paper, or the first author and primary contributor to the paper.
- A cover letter must identify the paper as a candidate for this
- competition.
-
- Proposals for pre-conference tutorials should be submitted to the
- Tutorial Chair by 22 February 1993:
