First International Conference on Access Networks

Accessnets 2006, Athens, Greece Sept 4-6 2006.

www.accessnets.org

Call for papers

The access area is represented by a technology alphabet soup spanning

wired, wireless and legacy networks is seen to be rapidly emerging with

a strong and sustained technological and business growth. Research has

led to massive development and deployment in the access networking space

leading to significant efforts in merging the bandwidth bottleneck

between ever growing PC speeds and the high speed network core. In

addition to broadband services, the access area also represents

consumers that desire pervasive as well as ubiquitous services.

Therefore, the access network is a hot investment pool from both a

financial as well as a research perspective. Accessnets is a forum that

brings together scientists/researchers from academia and

managers/engineers from the industry and government organizations to

meet and exchange ideas and recent work in this emerging area of

networking. Accessnets will be held in the beautiful and historic city

of Athens Greece in the Summer of 2006, between September 4 and 6.

Accessnets will have two technology tracks and a business track. Papers 
are solicited but not restricted to the

following areas:

• Passive Optical Networks

• xDSL technology

• Long Reach Ethernet over Copper

• Standards for High speed short haul Ethernet

• Fiber to the Home, Premise, Curb, Desktop, user

• Coarse WDM

• Powerline Communications

• Coaxial Cable technologies

• Hybrid Fiber Coaxial technologies

• WiFi Networks

• WIMAX networks

• WIMAX subsystem design

• OFDM issues in Wireless communications

• Cross-layer design

• Cross-Media Networks (Hybrid Media Networks)/ Independent Media 
Networks • Business case issues in Access Networks

• Municipal and Community Networks • Regulatory Issues • Deployments in 
Access Networks • Management issues in

Access networks • Billing consumers in the access area
