CALL FOR PAPERS
 
				 IWAN 2001
       The third International Working Conference on Active Networks
 
		      September 30, October 1-2, 2001
 
			       To be held at
		       Sheraton University City Hotel
			 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
				    USA
 
			     Sponsored by
				IFIP TC6
				Hitachi Japan
				GMD Fokus
				University of Pennsylvania

 SCOPE:
 
 Active networks aims to ease the introduction of network services by adding
 dynamic programmability to network devices such as routers, and making
 aspects of the programmability accessible to users.  Active networks
 research has focused on the development and testing of active techniques,
 that enable dynamic programmability in a networked environment.  These
 techniques have a wide variety of applications.  At IWAN 2001 we aim to
 bring together members of the various communities using active and related
 techniques, and provide a forum for discussion and collaboration, involving
 researchers, developers, and potential users. At IWAN2001 we encourage the
 submission of papers that cover the application of active techniques to all
 aspects of network based communication, including active transport, active
 services, active terminals and active management.  In addition the meeting
 will have a focus on relating customer needs and customer oriented services
 to active techniques. It is expected that most submissions will include
 quantitative results, however, we will welcome high quality descriptive
 contributions, where the ideas are particularly novel, or where the concepts
 introduced are likely to influence the work of other groups.  Authors are
 invited to submit papers addressing but not limited to the following topics:
 
  * Architectures and New Concepts for Active Networks , Systems and
    Environments
  * Applications for Active Networks, Systems and Environments
  * Active Services
  * New network applications (that might need active properties, but are not
    necessarily designed for an active environment)
  * Platforms for the implementation of active systems
  * Programmable network elements
  * Networked computing infrastructures
  * Programmable devices (inc. PDAs, soft radio, etc)
  * Management of Active Networks and systems
  * Security in Active Networks and systems
  * Mobility in active networks and systems
  * Service creation, deployment, and management in Active systems
  * Implementation of Active Network Infrastructures
  * Experiences and evaluation of the concepts and implementation
  * Standardization of Active Networks
 
 
 
 INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS:
 
 Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or
 published elsewhere) and be 20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words)
 or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors,
 affiliations, 150 word abstract, and list of keywords. Identify
 the author responsible for correspondence, including the author's
 name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and
 e-mail address. One of the authors of each accepted paper must
 present the paper at IWAN2001. The proceedings of the conference
 will be published by Springer-Verlag Heidelberg in the Lecture
 Notes in Computer Science Series.
