CALL FOR PAPERS ACM SIGCOMM '86 SYMPOSIUM Communications Architectures and Protocols Stowe, Vermont August 5-7, 1986 The symposium provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of communication network applications and technologies, as well as recent advances and proposals on communication architectures, protocols, algorithms, and performance models. Authors are invited to submit full papers concerned with both theory and practice. The areas of interest for the symposium include, but are not limited to the following: Computer network architectures and algorithms Local area networks Computer-based multimedia communications Network interconnection Packet radio networks Satellite and wideband networks Computer networking standards Distributed operating systems Protocol specification, verification, and analysis Applications of computer networks (education, office automation, banking, factory of the future) Papers should be about 20 double-spaced pages long and should have an abstract of 100-150 words. All submitted papers will be reviewed and will be judged with respect to their quality and relevance. Authors of selected papers will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release form. The Proceedings will be distributed at the symposium and published as a special issue of SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review. Since the proceedings of this conference will be widely disseminated, publication is likely to inhibit republications in ACM's refereed publications. However, a few of the submitted papers will be selected for publication in the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems. Submit 5 copies of each paper by February 15, 1986 to the co-program chairman: Dr. Jose J. Garcia Luna, SRI International, 333 Ravenswood Avenue, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.
