It is the first time that SIGCOMM will hold its confer- ence outside of North America. 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, innova- tive results in local area networks, computer-supported coopera- tive work, network interconnection and mixed-media networks, high-speed networks, resource sharing in distributed systems, network management, distributed operating systems and databases, protocol specification, verification, and analysis. Papers should be about 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 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. Notable papers will be considered for publication in ACM Transactions on Computer Systems. Submit 5 copies of each paper to the program chairman (or in North America, to the North American program committee contact): Prof. Bernhard Plattner Technische Informatik und Kommunikationsnetze Telephone: +41 1 254 7000 ETH-Zentrum (IFW) Fax: +41 1 262 3973 8092 Zurich, Switzerland EMAIL: or The North American program committee contact is: Greg Wetzel AT&T Bell Laboratories Telephone: +1 (708) 979-4782 M/S IH 1B-213 Fax: +1 (708) 979-2350 2000 N.

Papers in these sessions will focus on concepts, implementation and experience of applications that need the performance that future high speed networks will offer. Topics include, but are not limited to new approaches to computer-supported cooperative work, graphic visu- alization, and access to supercomputers. Papers submitted for these topics should address applications and their communications requirements. Student Paper Award Papers submitted by students will enter a student-paper award contest. Among the accepted papers, a maximum of four outstand- ing student papers will be awarded (1) one full conference regis- tration and (2) a travel grant of US $1000. To be eligible, student(s) must be the primary contributor(s) to the paper. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission: March 2, 1991. Notification of acceptance: April 30, 1991. Camera ready papers due: May 31, 1991. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
