-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS

Second Annual International Conference on Broadband Networks=20
(BroadNets 2005)
Broadband Applications and Services Symposium =20
October 3 - 7, 2005
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
http://www.broadnets.org/2005

Submission Deadline: February 1, 2005
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE
-----

BroadNets 2005 is an international conference focusing on broadband
networking and covers the entire gamut of next generation networks
with high bandwidth available for both wireless and wireline networks. =20
The conference will consist of the following three symposia:

** Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium: It covers mobility,
   routing for multihop, multimedia QoS and traffic management,
   cross-layer optimization, MAC and emerging physical layer
   technologies (UWB, MIMO) for high-speed wireless networking.

** Broadband Optical Networking Symposium: It covers WDM technologies,
   Ethernet and MPLS integration into the optical layer,
   Next-Generation SONET/SDH, as well as SAN extensions over
   DWDM/SONET/SDH.

** Broadband Applications/Services Symposium: It covers middleware and
   service architectures for broadband applications, pervasive
   computing and ubiquitous communications, and universal broadband
   access for information services.

BroadNets 2005 will thus offer a unique forum for researchers from
academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new
results in these important areas. =20

This Call for Papers describes the details for the Broadband=20
Applications/Services Symposium ONLY. (Refer to the www.broadnets.org/2005=
=20
website for the details of Broadband Optical Networking Symposium and=20
Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium.) This Symposium invites=20
academic and industry researchers to present issues and opportunities=20
for tomorrow?s IT infrastructure as driven by broadband applications and=20
services.  We invite the research community to present the most recent=20
advances in this field, to discuss exciting research topics and development=
=20
of testbeds and applications, and to share their research and development=
=20
experiences.  We hope to organize one or more panel sessions of
industry leaders to offer them an opportunity to outline their vision for=
=20
future broadband networks, as well as to offer academic and national=20
laboratory researchers an opportunity to ask questions/provide feedback=20
to these industry leaders.  Our goal is to raise the awareness of new=20
industry developments in the academic community, and, at the same time,=20
to establish a sound link between applied and theoretical research.=20

Topics of interest for which we are soliciting full-length papers include,
but are not limited to, the following:

=B7=09Applications for security and privacy
=B7=09Applications and services for grid networks
=B7=09Grid middleware=20
