                             LCN 2003
  The 28th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN)
                     Bonn/Königswinter, Germany
                        October 20-24, 2003

The IEEE LCN conference serves as the premier conference on leading
edge and practical computer networking. This approach stimulates a
highly interactive environment and enables an effective interchange
of results and ideas among local network researchers, developers,
and users.  During the 27 years of this conference, major advancements
have been achieved in local computer networks driven by application
demands associated of the global Internet, the Web, etc. This year we
are targeting the realm of embedded networks, wireless networks,
high-speed networks, ubiquitous computing, and security as well as
management aspects surrounding them. Papers covering 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:

- Personal-Area Networks         - Sensor Networks
- Wearable Networks              - High-Speed Networks
- Wireless Networks              - Network Management
- Mobility Management            - Network Security
- Location-Dependent Services    - Network Reliability
- Local-Area Networks            - Network to the Home
- Home Networks                  - Quality-of-Service/Congestion Control

- Small-Office Networks          - Adaptive Applications
- Embedded Networks              - Performance Evaluation/Measurements
- Storage-Area Networks          - Network Traffic Characterizations
- Optical Networks               - Overlay Networks

Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation
at the conference. Full papers (no more than 10 camera-ready pages)
should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the
conference. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary
or interim results and are limited to 2 camera-ready pages in length.
A best paper will be selected based on the quality of research and
results,
as well as on the quality of presentation by the primary author. 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
corresponding author must be clearly identified.
