       ================================================

In recent years the Internet has seen a tremendous growth in terms of 
amount of traffic and number of users. At present, a primary technical 
objective is to provide advanced IP networking services to support an 
evolving set of new applications like, for example, IP-telephony, 
video teleconferencing, Web TV, multimedia retrieval, remote access to 
and control of laboratory equipment and instruments. 
To achieve the objective, the Internet must move from a best-effort 
paradigm without service differentiation to one where specific 
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements can be met for different 
service classes in terms of bandwidth, delay and delay jitter. 
Another crucial goal is the ubiquitous deployment of a wide variety of 
advanced services over the global network resulting from the effective 
integration of wireless and satellite segments into the future Internet.
Although many researchers and engineers around the world have been 
working on these challenging issues, several problems remain open.

The 2001 edition of the Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital 
Communications, focused on the Evolutionary Trends of the Internet, 
and co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, will constitute 
a highly selective forum aimed at covering diverse aspects of the 
next generation of IP networks. 

The single-track workshop program will be structured in technical
sessions 
organized by leading researchers in the field, which will accommodate 
invited and regular papers selected on an open-call basis. 
Workshop attendees will receive proceedings, published by Springer under 
the LNCS series, on site.

The workshop will be held in the CapoTaormina Hotel, one of the most 
beautiful resorts in Sicily. The technical program will be accompanied 
by attractive social events, including an excursion to Mt. Etna, 
the highest volcano in Europe.
