For the past 30 years, the IEEE LCN conference has been the premier conference on the leading edge of practical computer networking. LCN is a highly interactive conference that enables an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers. Over the years, LCN has tracked many developments from the local network to the global Internet and the World Wide Web. In 2005, we are targeting embedded networks, wireless networks, ubiquitous computing, heterogeneous networks, and security as well as management aspects surrounding them. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or practical solutions. Paper topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Local Area Networks
  • Personal/Wearable Networks
  • Embedded Networks
  • Wireless Networks
  • Home/SOHO Networks
  • Network to the Home
  • High-Speed Networks
  • Optical Networks
  • Storage-Area Networks
  • Peer-to-Peer Networks
  • Overlay Networks
  • Network Management
  • Mobility Management
  • Location-dependent Services
  • Ad-hoc Environments
  • Network Traffic Characterizations
  • Performance Evaluation/Measurements
  • Quality-of-Service
  • Congestion Control/Behavior Control
  • Network Reliability
  • Network Security
  • Adaptive Applications

Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at the conference. Full papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages, 10pt 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 2 camera-ready pages in length. Short papers will be presented in a poster format and published in the proceedings. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. The corresponding author must be clearly identified. (Duplicate submissions will be rejected.)
