		    Call for Papers

		ACM SIGCOMM `93 CONFERENCE
	Communications Architectures, Protocols and Applications
		San Francisco, California, USA
	September 15-17th, 1993 (Tutorials September 13-14)


The conference provides an international forum for the presentation and
discussion of communication network
applications and technologies, as well as recent advances and proposals on
communication architectures, protocols, algorithms, and applications.

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

The conference is single-track and the number of sessions and papers
varies with the number of accepted submissions. In
the past the conference has accepted about 30 papers from well
over 100 submissions. Successful submissions,
both practically and theoretically oriented, typically report results
firmly substantiated by experiment, implementation, simulation, or
mathematical analysis.

All submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter containing a
list of all the authors, their affiliation, telephone
numbers, electronic mail addresses, and facsimile telephone numbers.
Papers must be less than 20 double-spaced pages
long and should have an abstract of 100-150 words.
All submitted papers will be reviewed and will be judged with respect
to their quality and relevance.

Authors considering a submission are encouraged to obtain more information
about the topical areas and characteristics of past selected papers by
sending an electronic mail message to sigcomm93-author-info@umbc3.umbc.edu.
Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release
form.  The Proceedings will be distributed at the
conference and 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.

Submit five paper copies or e-mail one PostScript copy of each paper
to the program chairman:

    Deepinder Sidhu
    Dept. of Computer Science
    Univ. Maryland-BC & UMIACS
    Balitmore MD 21228 USA

    dsidhu@umbc3.umbc.edu
    Phone: +1 410-455-3028
    Fax: +1 410-455-3969

NOTE: Any information about the authors must appear on a separate cover page,
so that it can be removed before papers are sent to reviewers.  Authors
should also e-mail an abstract (including author's names and the paper
title) to the program chair, in addition to submitting the full paper.

For more information about the conference (as opposed to paper submissions),
e-mail to: sigcomm93@cse.ucsc.edu.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted to the Tutorial Chair:

    Ian F. Akyildiz
    School of Elec. Eng.
    Georgia Tech
    Atlanta GA 30332 USA

    ian@cc.gatech.edu
    Phone: +1 404-894-5141
    Fax: +1 404-894-3188

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 (1) full conference registration and (2) a travel grant of
$500 US dollars.  To be eligible the student must be the sole author,
or the first author and primary contributor to the paper. A cover letter
must identify the paper as a candidate for this competition.
