Given that the line between networking research and distributed operating
systems research is fuzzy, I thought this call might interest many folks
on the list.
CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM SIGCOMM '89 SYMPOSIUM
Communications Architectures and Protocols
Austin, Texas
September 20-22, 1989
(Tutorials September 19th)
The symposium provides an international forum for the
presentation and discussion of communication network appli-
cations and technologies, as well as recent advances and
proposals on communication architectures, protocols, algo-
rithms, and performance models. Authors are invited to sub-
mit full papers concerned with both theory and practice.
The areas of interest for the symposium include, but are not
limited to the following: analysis and design of computer
network architectures and algorithms, innovative results in
local area networks, computer-supported collaborative work,
network interconnection and mixed-media networks, high-speed
networks, resource sharing in distributed systems, distri-
buted operating systems and databases, protocol specifica-
tion, verification, and analysis.
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 accepted papers
will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release form. The
Proceedings will be distributed at the symposium and pub-
lished as a special issue of SIGCOMM Computer Communication
Review. A few of the submitted papers will be selected for
publication in the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems.
Submit 5 copies of each paper to the program chairman: Dr.
Mohamed Gouda, Computer Sciences Department, University of
Texas at Austin, Austin TX 78712, USA; Telephone: (512)
