                 3rd International Workshop on
            Networked Group Communication (NGC 2001)
                      7-9 November 2001

             http://www-mice.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ngc2001

  Organised by UCL and COST 264 in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM

The aim of the Workshop is to allow researchers and practitioners 
to present the design and implementation techniques for networked 
group communication. The focus of the Workshop is on multicast and
networked group communication, ranging from link layer, through
routing, and reliability and traffic control, right up to session
and application level control mechanisms, and includes performance
analysis and evaluation. This Workshop is the third of this
international event in this area.
