From: "Your VE info source" Subject: CFP: Internet 2001 Date: Wed, 4 Oct 1995 08:26:53 -0700 From: "Your VE info source" ************* "INTERNET 2001" CALL FOR PAPERS ********************************* Book Proposal: IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY PRESS Focus Issue Proposal: IEEE COMPUTER MAGAZINE "Internet 2001" Editors: Don Brutzman, Mike Macedonia and Mike Zyda Advisors: Steve Deering and Ted Lewis Computer Science Department, Naval Postgraduate School Monterey California 93943-5118 408.656.2149 voice, 408.656.3679 fax {brutzman, zyda}@cs.nps.navy.mil, macedonia@crcg.edu Internet 2001 will be the theme of the August 1996 issue of COMPUTER and a companion Computer Society Press book. Internet 2001 will provide a comprehensive forward-looking overview of the rapidly evolving global network of networks. Many articles and books currently discuss the current state of the Internet. None describe the Internet at the turn of the century. This special issue and book will provide a road map to the future, showing where everything is going and the likely paths to get there. In the special focus issue of COMPUTER we expect to print two to three dozen single page extended abstracts, each focused on a single area of interest identified in the accompanying table. Simultaneously we plan to edit and publish full-length versions of submitted papers in a companion book through the Computer Society Press. The review process likely to be highly competitive. We hope to attract papers of the highest caliber which present crucial concepts and defining issues. We expect this reference to enjoy wide distribution and provide value for years to come. ======================================================================= o Internet size, connectivity, bandwidth and access - Who pays, who controls, who can connect, who can't - Topology and network management, local and global - Ubiquitous computing, distributed systems, latency - Digital convergence: computer networking, cable television, telephony - Satellite coverage, new technologies, perceived limits to growth - Connecting everyone to everything o Routing and Protocols - Internet Protocol version 7 (IPv7) and beyond - Low-level protocols, new transmission media - Wireless networks - Multicast - Entity/Application-Layer communication protocols - High performance networking: B-ISDN, ATM, SONET, etc. o Information Content and Context: the World-Wide Web (WWW) - HyperText Markup Language (html) - HyperText Transfer Protocol (http) - Virtual Reality Modeling Language (vrml) - Global databases and digital libraries - Electronic publishing, content indexing, searching o Applications in Cyberspace - Agents and Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Cooperative workspaces - Information appliances, robots, teleoperation - Virtual environments o Commerce - Paying money over the network - Entertainment - Enterprise networking - Virtual corporations - Information economies o Security, Privacy and Authentication - Encryption and Digital Signatures - Hacking and cracking: individual and global vulnerabilities o Global and National Information Infrastructure - Internationalization and connecting the third world - Education and distance learning - Conduct of scientific research - Governmental and social change, democratization and empowerment - Public health and medicine o Standards and Internet Development - Professional societies and standards organizations - Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) ======================================================================= Authors are asked to identify driving forces, key bottlenecks, notable failures and open challenges in specific subject areas. Each article will be organized to describe one aspect of the present-day Internet, where we want it to be in the year 2001, and how we might get there. Perceived limits to growth and the ability to scale up indefinitely are of particular interest. The deadline for papers is January 8, 1996. Referees are also encouraged to volunteer. Both short (1 magazine page, 900-1000 words) and long (6-8 manuscript pages, 3300-4400 words) versions of each paper must be submitted for review. Color figures will be accepted and reproduced as appropriate.
