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: analysis and design of computer network avchitectures and algorithms, innovative results in local area networos, computer-supported collaborative work, network interconnection and mixed-media networks, high-speed networks, resource sharing in distributed systems, 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 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 Computer Communication Review. A few of the submitted papers will be selected for publication in the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems.

Papers in these sessions will focus on key issues in building very fast (1 gigabit per second and faster) and/or very large (200 million end nodes or more) data networks. Persons interested in submitting papers in this area are encouraged to contact either the program chair, Phil Karn, or Craig Partridge (craig@bbn.com), who will be coordinating the papers in this area. Student Paper Award Papers submitted by students will enter a student-paper award contest. Among the accepted papers, a maximum of four outstanding papers will be awarded (1) full conference registration and (2) a travel grant of $500 US dollars. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission: March 20, 1990
