                ACM SIGCOMM 2008 -- Call for Papers
                ===================================

The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to ACM SIGCOMM
2008, to be held at the Grand Hyatt Regency in Seattle, WA, USA
between August 17-22, 2008. SIGCOMM is the flagship annual conference
of the Special Interest Group on Data Communications, a special
interest group of the Association for Computing Machinery.

The SIGCOMM 2008 conference seeks papers describing significant
research contributions to the field of computer and data communication
networks. We invite submissions on network architecture, design,
implementation, operations, analysis, measurement, performance, and
simulation. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

   * Analysis and design of network architectures and algorithms
   * Experimental results from operational networks or network
     applications
   * Fundamental insights into network and traffic characteristics
   * Network fault-tolerance and reliability, debugging, and
     troubleshooting
   * Network management and traffic engineering
   * Network security, vulnerability, and defenses
   * Network, transport, and application-layer protocols
   * Networking issues for Web-hosted applications, VOIP and gaming
   * Operating system and other host support for networking
   * Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks
   * Resource management, quality of service, and signaling
   * Routing, switching, and addressing
   * Tools and techniques for network measurement and simulation
   * Unique issues relating to enterprise, datacenter or storage area
     networks
   * Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks

Submissions can be up to 14 pages in length, in two-column 10pt
format. Please see submission instructions (coming soon) for
details. Note that accepted camera-ready papers will be 12 pages in
length, in two-column format with 9pt font. SIGCOMM is a selective
conference where full papers typically report novel results firmly
substantiated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis.

As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2008 will have workshops, a poster
session, a student travel grant program, and a Best Student Paper
Award.
