IZS 2004 - Call for Papers

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2004 International Zurich Seminar on Communications (IZS) 
(http://www.izs2004.ethz.ch) will be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, 
from Wednesday, Feb. 18, through Friday, Feb. 20, 2004.

Original technical contributions are solicited on topics including:

Access:
- Wide area mobile radio
- Wireless local area networks
- Wireless local loops
- xDSL and cable modem technologies

Transmission:
- Channel modeling
- Applied information theory
- Coding and modulation
- Joint detection, decoding, and ... (you name it)
- MIMO wireless and space-time coding
- Ultra wide band
- Antenna design
- Fundamental hardware issues

Networking:
- Algorithms, protocols, and systems for routing and switching
- Ad-hoc and peer-to-peer networking of all scales
- High-mobility architectures and protocols
- Next-generation internet
- Optical networks
- Quality of service
- Fault-tolerance and reliability
- Security

As a novelty in 2004, roughly half the contributions will be invited. 

Due to its traditional format with at most two parallel sessions, the 
IZS is an ideal opportunity to learn from, and to communicate to, 
leading experts in areas beyond one's own speciality. All papers 
should therefore be presented with this wide audience in mind. 

Papers will be reviewed on the basis of a manuscript (not exceeding 
6 pages) of sufficient detail to permit reasonable evaluation. 
Authors of accepted papers will be asked to produce a manuscript not 
exceeding 4 pages that will be published in the Proceedings. All 
accepted papers will be allowed twenty minutes for presentation.

The deadline for submissions is 

        September 15, 2003. 

Detailed instructions for the submission of papers, as well as 
information on the technical program, special events, accomodation, 
etc., will be posted on the IZS 2004 web site:

        http://www.izs2004.ethz.ch.

We look forward to seeing you at IZS!
