                         CALL FOR PAPERS


Global Internet & Next-Generation Networks Symposium, one of seven 
symposia at 2004 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM 2004), 
provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to 
exchange the latest technical information and research findings on 
Internet & Next-Generation Networking concepts,  technologies, and 
applications covering existing deployments, current  developments and 
future evolution.  Internet & Next-Generation Networks have progressed 
into the realm of optical communications-based, wireless, and 
mobility-enabled networks supporting  multimedia applications and 
services.  This  evolution opens a huge area of innovation for  new 
concepts, theory and technology introduction.


Authors are invited to submit papers on topics related to Internet and 
Next-generation Networks including but not limited to:

-        Network Support for Applications (e.g., Instant Messaging, 
Peer-to-Peer
         Networking, Streaming Applications)

-        Mobile/Wireless Networking (802.11, Ad-Hoc Networks, WPAN, 3G 
and Beyond)

-        Networking Aspects of Grid Computing

-        Storage Area Networks (e.g. ISCSI)

-        Web Architectures (e.g., Content Distribution Networks, Load 
Balancing, Caching)

-        IP Services and Supporting Technologies (VoIP, VPN, Traffic 
Engineering, MPLS,
         GMPLS, QoS, Optical Networking)

-        Internet Architecture and Protocols (Intra/Inter-Domain 
Routing, Multicast,
         Flow Control, Security and  Robustness, Next-Generation 
Architectures, IPv6)

-        Network Operations and Management Innovations

-        Traffic Measurement, Analysis, Modeling and Visualization

-        Integration of Heterogeneous Systems (WLAN/Cellular, 
Wireless/Optical,
         Satellite/Cellular, etc.)

-        Home Networking and Broadband Access Technologies
