Call For Papers
ACM SIGCOMM '91 CONFERENCE
Communications Applications, Architectures and Protocols
ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
September 4-6, 1991 (Tutorials September 3, 1991)
The conference provides an international forum for the presenta-
tion and discussion of communication network applications and
technologies, as well as recent advances and proposals on commun-
ication architectures, protocols, algorithms, and performance
models. It is the first time that SIGCOMM will hold its confer-
ence outside of North America.
Authors are invited to submit full papers concerned with both
theory and practice. The areas of interest for the conference
include, but are not limited to the following: Analysis and
design of computer network architectures and algorithms, innova-
tive results in local area networks, computer-supported coopera-
tive work, network interconnection and mixed-media networks,
high-speed networks, resource sharing in distributed systems,
network management, distributed operating systems and databases,
protocol specification, 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 conference and published as a special issue of ACM SIGCOMM
Computer Communication Review. Notable papers will be considered
for publication in ACM Transactions on Computer Systems.
Submit 5 copies of each paper to the program chairman (or in
North America, to the North American program committee contact):

Special session: Applications of High Speed Networks
One or more sessions of the conference will be devoted to the
subject of applications of high speed networks. Papers in these
sessions will focus on concepts, implementation and experience of
applications that need the performance that future high speed
networks will offer. Topics include, but are not limited to new
approaches to computer-supported cooperative work, graphic visu-
alization, and access to supercomputers. Papers submitted for
these topics should address applications and their communications
requirements.
Student Paper Award
Papers submitted by students will enter a student-paper award
contest. Among the accepted papers, a maximum of four outstand-
ing student papers will be awarded (1) one full conference regis-
tration and (2) a travel grant of US $1000. To be eligible,
student(s) must be the primary contributor(s) to the paper.
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for paper submission: March 2, 1991.
Notification of acceptance: April 30, 1991.
Camera ready papers due: May 31, 1991.
