September 11-15 2006
Pisa, Italy

    Call for Papers    
                                                      
    The SIGCOMM 2006 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:                        

• Analysis and design of network architectures and algorithms          
• Experimental and measurement results from operational networks        
• Fundamental insights into network and traffic characteristics        
• Network fault-tolerance and reliability, debugging, and              

        troubleshooting                                                      

• Network management and traffic engineering                            
• Network security, vulnerability, and defenses                        
• Network, transport, and application-layer protocols                  
• Networking issues for Web, multimedia, and gaming applications        
• Operating system and other host support for networking                
• Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks              
• Resource management, quality of service, and signaling                
• Routing, switching, and addressing                                    
• Tools and techniques for network measurement and simulation          
• Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks                        

                                                                              
    SIGCOMM 2006 solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in two-column
    ACM conference format. SIGCOMM is a selective conference where full      
    papers typically report novel results firmly substantiated by            
    experimentation, simulation, or analysis.                                
                                                                              
    As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2006 will have tutorials, workshops, a      
    poster session, a student travel grant program, and a Student Paper      
    Award. Details will be posted, as they become available, on the          
    conference web site http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2006/            
                                                                              
    The conference will begin with a keynote by the 2006 winner of the ACM    
    SIGCOMM Award for lifetime contributions to the field of computer        
    communication. Procedures for nominating candidates for the SIGCOMM Award
    can be obtained from Jennifer Rexford.
