General Information:
--------------------

The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on leading edge and
practical computer networking.  The emphasis of this conference is on
practical solutions to important problems in computer networking.  During
the 25 years of this conference, we have moved from problems in the local
network to problems in the global Internet and World Wide Web.  Our unique
approach stimulates a workshop environment and enables an effective
interchange among researchers, users, and product developers.  We encourage
you to submit original papers describing research results or practical
solutions.  Paper topics include, but are not limited to:

- Local Area Networks
- Home Networks
- Wireless Networks
- Storage Area Networks
- Optical Networks
- Realtime Networks
- Active Networks
- ATM
- Gigabit Ethernet
- LAN/WAN Internetworking
- DSL Technologies
- Network Management
- Network Security
- Network Reliability
- Multicasting
- Enabling QoS in High-Speed Networks
- Always On / Always Connected
- Internet / Intranet
- Anything-over-IP
- IP-over-Anything
- Performance Evaluation
- Protocol Design and Validation

Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at
the conference.  Full papers should present novel perspectives on computer
networking within the general scope of the conference topics listed above
and may be up to 10 camera-ready pages in length.  Short papers are an
opportunity to present preliminary or interim results and are limited to 2
camera-ready pages in length.  All papers will be reviewed by a minimum of
three reviewers.  A best paper award will be presented. Several student
travel scholarships will be available courtesy of the LCN corporate
supporters.   All submitted papers must include title, complete contact
information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page.
