The SIGCOMM 2004 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, and
simulation. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

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

We welcome two categories of paper submissions -- full papers and
position papers. As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2004 will have a poster
session and student travel grant program. Details will be posted on
the conference web site as they become available,
http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2004

TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS
The Data Communications Festival will continue in 2004 with a distinct
set of tutorials and workshops to be held Monday August 30th and
Friday September 3rd.  For more information on the workshop proposals,
please see the conference web page.

FULL PAPERS
Full Papers are no more than 14 pages long and typically report novel
results firmly substantiated by experimentation, simulation, or
analysis. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting will be
provided on the website.

POSITION PAPERS
Position papers are no more than 8 pages long and attempt to shape
research directions by offering new perspectives, wisdom, and
guidance, rather than by presenting mature work with quantitative
results. More detailed information for authors of position papers will
be available on the web site as the submission deadline draws closer.

POSTERS
Posters are one 30" x 40" (75cm x 100cm) page long, and present
ongoing work. Student submissions will be favored.

MISCELLANEOUS
There will also be a Student Paper Award, Student Travel Grants, and a
SIGCOMM Award recognizing lifetime contributions. Contact Mark
Crovella <crovella at cs.bu.edu> to nominate a candidate for the SIGCOMM
Award.
