I just wanted to make people aware of several SIGCOMM related activies.
+ the program for ACM SIGCOMM '89 appears in this month's issue of
Communications of the ACM (pages A-23 through A-25).
+ we continue to be interested in nominations for the SIGCOMM Award.
The award "recognizes outstanding contributions to the field
of computer communications and networking. It
is presented annually to an individual whose work in the
theory or practice of communications and networking
has significantly advanced the field." The nomination deadline
has been extended until August 15th because this month's issue
of CCR was delayed when the July 4th weekend fell in the middle
of the publication schedule. Nominations should be sent to me,
and should include a full vita, a list of publications, and a
essay on the the candidate's most notable contributions to the
field of data communications.
+ Where available, papers from CCR are now available on-line on
nnsc.nsf.net in the directory CCR. Papers are in postscript
and are organized by month of issue and the last name of the
first author. So, for example, Dave Borman's paper on
Cray TCP performance from the April '89 issue is in:
CCR/apr89/borman.ps
Each issue's directory also contains a complete table of contents
(TOC.ps) and the issue's bibliography of recent publications (in
UNIX refer format).
+ the SIGCOMM '90 Call for Papers is out. The program chair is
Phil Karn (karn@thumper.bellcore.com). You can FTP a copy
of the call for papers from CCR/jul89/call.ps
