		    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:
