         INTERNET PROXY SERVICES

(http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/internet.html)

With the rapid growth of the Web in the past few years, proxies have
become a crucial part of the Internet infrastructure. Acting as an
intermediary between clients and servers, proxies perform a variety of
important functions that improve network efficiency and user
performance for Web and multimedia transfers. For example, proxies
cache popular resources, anonymize client requests, and transform or
adapt server responses. Network administrators install proxies to
reduce network load and user latency, and Web hosting companies use
proxies to reduce the load on origin servers. In addition, proxies
form the core part of content distribution networks that replicate and
distribute data from a variety of locations in the Internet. Possible
topics include, but are not limited to:

     Web proxy services (e.g., caching, content adaptation, prefetching,
anonymization)
     Multimedia proxy services (e.g., caching, retransmission,
transcoding, smoothing, recording)
     Distributed, hierarchical, and cooperative caching
     Interception proxies and surrogate proxies
     Content distribution networks
     Testbeds, prototypes, and commercial products
     File system, I/O, and operating system issues for proxies
     Protocol issues for proxies (e.g., HTTP, RTSP, ICAP, ICP, CARP,
WPAD, etc.)
     Traffic measurement and performance evaluation of proxies

Original, previously unpublished research articles will be considered.
