The 2006 International Conference on 
Communications in Computing (CIC'06)
 
June 26-29, 2006
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The CIC'06 Conference will be held simultaneously with a number of other international conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing). For the complete list of joint conferences refer to: http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/worldcomp06/ws )

SPECIAL SESSION: Distributed Computing and Applications
 
SESSION CHAIR: Dr. Hassan Hosseini, Cisco Systems
 
SCOPE OF THE SESSION
 
This session will explore and discuss the development of relevant topics that are of high importance in distributed systems:
  - Data distribution and program mapping
- Load balancing
- Congestion control
- Scalability and performance
- High availability
- Routing algorithms
- Convergence
- Security
- Constraint based routing
- Policy based routing
- Multicast

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
 
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) via email to Dr. Hassan Hosseini ([email-masked]) by Feb. 20, 2006. E-mail submissions in MS document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal submissions are also fine.)  All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for publication.)
  
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords. Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.
  
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area.  The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by the session chair.
   
  CATEGORIES OF ACCEPTED PAPERS:
  
(RRP)  Regular Research Papers
          7-page IEEE-style publication in the proceedings
          20-minute formal presentation slot

          Presentation in an informal setting (during Discussion Sessions)

PURPOSE / HISTORY:
  
CIC'06 is an international conference held simultaneously (ie, same location and dates) with a number of other joint conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing).  WORLDCOMP'06 is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing.  Many of the 28 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective fields. WORLDCOMP'06 is composed of the following international conferences: Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications; Scientific Computing; Grid Computing and Applications; Security and Management; Artificial Intelligence; Machine Learning; Software Engineering Research and Practice; Programming Languages and Compilers; Internet Computing; Semantic Web and Web Services; Computer Design; Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications; Embedded Systems and Applications;!
  Wireless
 Networks; Pervasive Systems and Computing; Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition; Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality; Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Methods; Computer Games Development; Frontiers in Education in Computer Science and Engineering; Foundations of Computer Science; e-Learning, e-Business, Enterprise Information Systems, e-Government, and Outsourcing; Data Mining; Information and Knowledge Engineering; Bioinformatics and Computational Biology; Computing in Nanotechnology; Engineering of Reconfigurable Systems and Algorithms; Communications in Computing.
  The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time.  The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact.  The model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and applied computing.  Both inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary, Inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the conferences. 

LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:
  
The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools and kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ...  Many of these attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for families and children. The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable.  The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining and night club!
 s, free
 street shows, ...).
