Submission deadline: May 2, 2010
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 2010 is the fifth edition of this exciting
event, which will be held in Budapest, Hungary, on November 3-5, 2010. The
conference will consist of technical sessions, industry track, workshops,
and panels. The technical sessions will present original and fundamental
research advances while the industry track, 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:
* Autonomy in access networks
* Cable-based access technology
* Cross-layer design
* Deployment/standardization statuses
* Digital satellite access technology
* Dynamic spectrum access networks
* FTTx and PON technologies
* Green aspects of access networks
* Home networks
* Hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) technology
* Hybrid wired/wireless LANs
* Integrated wired/wireless networks
* Long reach Ethernet
* Management issues in access networks
* Medium access control
* MIMO techniques
* Municipal and community networks
* Network architectures and protocols
* Network scalability and upgradeability
* Network survivability and security
* Networked appliances
* OFDM, OFDMA, CDMA techniques
* Powerline communication technology
* Quality of service provisioning
* Service convergence
* WiFi and WiMax networks
* Wireless mesh networks
* xDSL technology and DSM
WORKSHOPS:
We solicit workshop proposals on new and emerging topics in wired and
wireless access networks, services, and applications. A proposal should
focus on a specific theme of current interest that can attract high-quality
submissions. Proposals for one-day workshops to be held in conjunction with
the conference are solicited. A proposal can be a maximum of 2 pages long
and should clearly identify the theme and specific topics of interest which
define the scope of the workshop. The proposal should also include the
workshop chairs and a list of (candidate) program committee members.
PAPER SUBMISSION:
Papers presented at this conference must be prepared according to LNICST
style instructions. Both regular and invited papers are allowed to have up
to 16 pages, including all figures, tables and references. Extra pages will
incur additional charges. All accepted papers will be published by Springer
in the ICST Lecture Notes (LNICST) series. Please visit the conference
website (http://www.accessnets.org) for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Workshop proposal deadline March 14, 2010
Paper submission due May 2, 2010
Notification of acceptance June 4, 2010
Final manuscript due August 31, 2010
