Under the auspices of IEEE, the session organizers invite submission
of papers for a session on "Traffic Measurements and Switch
Administration."   This session will focus upon the role and
importance of traffic measurements in switch administration.

Some recommended areas of interest are listed below, but the authors
are not limited to these topics.

     * Basic concepts in traffic measurement and their use

     * Developmental process/history for new traffic measurements
       (Delineation of every critical stage involved in the process of
       developing useful measurements)

     * Quantitative methods for analyzing traffic data

Depending upon the number of qualified proposals, this session may be
split into two sessions, with the first part focusing on concepts of
traffic measurements and the second part focussing on analytical
procedures that facilitate various decisions made by switch
administrators.

Prospective authors should submit two copies of an extended abstract
(not exceeding 5 pages, double spaced) to the organizers by April 15,
1989.  Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by May 15,
1989.  Photo-ready copy of the complete paper (not exceeding 25 pages
double-spaced) must be received by July 15,1989 for inclusion in the
proceedings which will be published by the IEEE and distributed at
the symposium.
