IMPORTANT DEADLINES:

   Camera-Ready Papers:   February 28, 2002


CONFERENCE INFORMATION:

The Fifth IEEE Conference on Open Architectures and Network Programming
invites your participation in this lively international forum on open
and programmable networks.

Advances in open and programmable network elements are redefining
network software architectures and moving control and management
systems away from traditional closed/rigid solutions.  OPENARCH 2002
will foster understanding of these new network software architectures
and techniques.

OPENARCH's single-track format will provide researchers and developers
with a focused, highly interactive opportunity to present and discuss
current work and future directions in programmable networks, and new
services built on top of them. Authors are invited to submit full
papers for consideration.  Suggested topics include:

   * Active and programmable networks
   * Overlay, virtual, and peer-to-peer networks
   * Proxies, middleboxes, and mediation devices
   * New network services
   * Service creation platforms and enabling technologies
   * Hardware and software implementation techniques
   * Programming for mobility, quality of service, and multicasting
   * Programming for pricing, accounting, and billing
   * Security in an open network architecture
   * Reliability of programmable networking technologies
   * Performance of programmable network elements
   * Modeling of network services in open network architectures


INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS:

Papers of no more than 12 single-spaced pages (including figures and
references) are solicited.  Authors are requested to submit papers in
Postscript or PDF format.  Instructions for electronic submissions are
available at: http://www.openarch.org/.  Accepted paper(s) will be
published in a bound Conference Proceedings.  A CD-ROM version is being
considered as well.


FINANCIAL SUPPORT:

A limited number of travel stipends are available.  Students whose
papers are accepted and who will present the paper themselves are
encouraged to apply if such assistance is needed.  Requests for
stipends should be addressed to the General Chair.  A limited number of
IEEE Communications Society Student Travel Grants may be available for
student authors from outside North America.
