IEEE LANMAN Call for Participation

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
IEEE Workshop on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN)
http://www.ieee-lanman.org/ <http://www.ieee-lanman.org/#papers>

DEADLINE APPROACHING
Early Registration: April 28, 2014

CONFERENCE DATES
May 21-23, 2014
Reno, NV USA

DESCRIPTION
IEEE LANMAN has an established tradition as a forum for presenting and
discussing the latest technical advances in local and metropolitan area
networking. Continuing that tradition, IEEE LANMAN 2014 invites
cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation. Papers are
solicited in all areas of networking, but in keeping with the current
research trend, this workshop=E2=80=99s central theme is data center networ=
king.
The intimate single-track session format of the workshop encourages
stimulating exchanges between researchers. The workshop is expected to be a
forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on architectures,
service models, pricing, and performance. Speculative and potentially
transformative ideas are particularly encouraged, as are studies reporting
measurements from real-life networks and testbeds. Papers are solicited on
any LANMAN topic including, but not limited to, the following:

POLICY
All IEEE LANMAN 2014 technical papers and posters must be associated with
an author registration at the full rate. For authors presenting multiple
papers/posters, one full registration is valid for up to three
papers/posters. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper/poster from
distribution after the workshop (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the
paper/poster is not presented at the workshop.
