LCN 2011 - 2011 IEEE 36th Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2011)

The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on the leading edge of theoretical and
practical aspects of computer networking. LCN is a highly interactive conference that
enables an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product
developers. During 35 years of this conference, major developments from high-speed local
networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor networks have been reported at this
conference. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or
practical solutions in leading edge topics. Paper topics include, but are not limited to:
? Ad hoc and sensor networks
? Embedded networks
? High-speed access networks
? Home and SOHO networks
? IPv6 deployment & migration
? Local area networks
? Optical networks
? Green networking
? Peer-to-peer networks
? Personal and wearable networks
? Storage area networks
? Ubiquitous networking
? Wireless networks
? Adaptive applications
? Authentication, authorization, accounting
? Congestion and flow control
? Cross-layer optimization
? Location-dependent services
? Mobility management
? Multimedia and real-time communication
? Network management
? Network reliability and security
? Network traffic characterization
? Performance evaluation/engineering
? Performance measurement and tuning
? Quality-of-Service provisioning
Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at the conference. Full
papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages, 10 pt font in IEEE format) 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 4 camera-ready pages in length. Short
papers will be presented in a poster format. Both formats are published in the proceedings and
IEEE Xplore. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors,
abstract, and keywords on the cover page.
Paper submission:
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format to EDAS. All submission instructions
will be posted on the conference website. Direct your questions to the Program Chair, Tom
Pfeifer or the Program Co-chair Anura Jayasumana
