           The Second IEEE Workshop on Internet Applications
                               (WIAPP `01)

                               July 23-24, 2001
                                San Jose, CA

Innovations in Internet applications continue to have ever-growing
impact on our world, resulting in a surge of research interest in both
applications and the network infrastructure that supports them.
Networks and applications have a symbiotic relationship, each vastly
affecting the other.  On one hand, applications must take into account
network performance, transport protocol design, and higher-level
protocol design to achieve acceptable performance and robustness.  On
the other hand, emerging network technologies are being determined in
part by the kinds of applications that we wish to run on them.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading application and
network designers from academia and industry to exchange ideas about
the problems they are facing and the functions they are expecting each
other to provide.  Topics of interest to this workshop include (but
are not limited to) the network effects on applications, and the
application effects on networking, of:
  
        Caching and replication
                                      Content delivery
        Electronic commerce
                                      Information retrieval & searching
        Internet telephony
                                      Metacomputing
        Mobile computing
                                      Monitoring
        Quality of service
                                      Reliability & high availability
        Security
                                      Streaming media
        Traffic measurement & modeling
                                      Web/database integration


We encourage papers that present well-developed research results, but
also papers that are more speculative in nature.  Participants will be
invited based on the originality, technical merit, and topical
relevance of their submissions, as well as the likelihood that the
ideas expressed in their submissions will lead to insightful technical
discussions at the workshop.

Authors should submit full papers of no more than 10 pages in length,
using 11 point font.  Papers must fit properly on US letter-sized
paper (8.5 x 11 inchines).  Extended abstracts will not be considered.
Detailed submission instructions will be posted to the workshop web
site by December 1st, 2000.
