OVERVIEW:
With the rapid growth of the Internet as well as the increasing demand
for broadband services, access networks have been receiving growing
investments in recent years. This has led to a massive network
deployment with the goal of eliminating the bandwidth bottleneck
between end-users and the network core. Today many diverse
technologies are being used to provide broadband access to end users.
The architecture and performance of the access segment (local loop,
wired and wireless access networks, and even home networks) are
getting increasing attention for ensuring quality of service of
diverse broadband applications. Moreover, most access lines will no
longer terminate on a single device, thus leading to the necessity of
having a home network designed for applications that transcend simple
Internet access sharing among multiple personal computers and enable
multimedia support. Therefore, the access network and its home portion
have become a hot investment pool from both a financial as well as a
research perspective.
The aim of the annual International Conference on Access Networks
(AccessNets) is to provide a forum that brings together scientists and
researchers from academia as well as managers and engineers from the
industry and government organizations to meet and exchange ideas and
recent work on all aspects of access networks and how they integrate
with their in-home counterparts. AccessNets'08 is the third edition of
this exciting event, which will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on
Oct. 15-17 2008. The conference will consist of technical sessions,
workshops, and panels. The technical sessions will present original
and fundamental research advances while the workshops and panels will
focus on development, application, and related business issues in this
hot and exciting area.
TOPICS:
The conference solicits original technical papers that were not
previously published and are not currently under review for
publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include but are not limited
to:
* FTTx and PON technologies
