General Information:
--------------------

The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on leading edge and
practical computer networking. Our unique approach stimulates a workshop
environment and enables an effective interchange among researchers,
users, and product developers. During 25 years of this conference, we
moved from the local network to the global Internet and World Wide Web.
Now we move into the realm of Personal Area Networks, wearable networks
and ubiquitous computing. Papers that cover these areas are explicitly
sought and will be given preference. We encourage you to submit original
papers describing research results or practical solutions. Paper topics
include, but are not limited to:

- Wireless Networks
- Personal Area Networks
- Wearable Networks
- Always On / Always Connected
- Mobility Management
- Location-dependant services
- Local Area Networks
- Home Networks
- Small Office Networks
- Storage Area Networks
- Optical Networks
- High Speed Networks
- Network Management
- Network Security
- Network Reliability
- Network to the Home
- Quality of Service / Congestion Control
- Adaptive Applications
- Anything-over-IP
- IP-over-Anything
- Performance Evaluation / Measurements
- Protocol Design and Validation

Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at
the conference. Full papers should present novel perspectives within the
general scope of the conference and may be up to 10 camera-ready pages
in length. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary or
interim results and are limited to 2 camera-ready pages in length. A
best paper award will be presented. Several student travel scholarships
may be available courtesy of the LCN corporate supporters.  All papers
must include title, complete contact information for all authors,
abstract, and keywords on the cover page. The correspondence author must
be clearly identified.
