                           Call for Papers
                      ACM SIGCOMM'94 CONFERENCE
       Communications Architectures, Protocols and Applications


                      University College London
                              London, UK


                    August 31 to September 2, 1994
                 (Tutorials and Workshop, August 30)


An  international forum  on  communication  network  applications  and
technologies, architectures, protocols, and algorithms.


Authors are invited to submit  full  papers concerned with both theory
and practice. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:


   --  Analysis and  design  of  computer  network  architectures  and
       algorithms,
   --  Innovative results in local area networks,
   --  Mixed-media networks,
   --  High-speed networks, routing and addressing, support for mobile
       hosts,
   --  Resource sharing in distributed systems,
   --  Network management,
   --  Distributed operating systems and databases,
   --  Protocol specification, verification, and analysis.


A single-track, highly selective conference where successful
submissions typically report results firmly substantiated by
experiment, implementation, simulation, or mathematical analysis.
Papers must be less than 20 double-spaced pages long, have an abstract
of 100-150 words, and be original material that has not been
previously published or be currently under review with another
conference or journal.


In addition to its high quality technical program, SIGCOMM '94 will
offer tutorials by noted instructors such as Paul Green and Van
Jacobson (tentative), and a workshop on distributed systems led by
Derek McAuley.


Important Dates:


          Paper submissions: 1 February 1994
         Tutorial proposals: 1 March 1994
 Notification of acceptance: 2 May 1994
    Camera ready papers due: 9 June 1994


All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and
relevance through double-blind reviewing where the identities of the
authors are withheld from the reviewers.  Authors names should not
appear on the paper.  A cover letter is required that identifies the
paper title and lists the name, affiliation, telephone number, email,
and fax number of all authors.


Authors of accepted papers need to sign an ACM copyright release form.
The Proceedings will be published as a special issue of ACM SIGCOMM
Computer Communication Review. The program committee will also select
a few papers for possible publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on
Networking.


Submissions from North America should be sent  to:


     Craig Partridge
     BBN
     10 Moulton St
     Cambridge MA 02138


All  other submissions  should  be sent to:


     Stephen Pink
     Swedish Institute of Computer Science
     Box 1263
     S-164 28 Kista
     Sweden


Five copies are required for paper submissions. Electronic submissions
(uuencoded, compressed postscript) should be sent to each program
chair. Authors should also e-mail the title, author names and abstract
of their paper to each program chair and identify any special
equipment that will be required during its presentation.


Due to the high number of anticipated submissions, authors are
encouraged to strictly adhere to the submission date.


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 full conference registration
and a travel grant of $500 US dollars.  To be eligible the student
must be the sole author, or the first author and primary contributor.
A cover letter must identify the paper as a candidate for this
competition.
