[squid-users] CFP: 10th International Workshop on Web Caching and Content Distribution

    10th International Workshop on Web Caching and Content Distribution (WCW)
                             Support of IEEE pending
                    Sophia Antipolis, French Riviera, France
                        12 September - 14 September, 2005

Overview:

   The International Workshop on Web Caching and Content Distribution
   (WCW) serves as the premiere meeting for researchers and practitioners
   to exchange results and visions on all aspects of content
   distribution, and delivery. Innovations in content delivery systems
   continue to have strong impact in the Internet, resulting in a
   surge of interest in both content delivery applications and the
   web/network infrastructure that supports novel content delivery
   applications. Starting from basic caching, research in content
   distribution has broadened its scope to cover practically all
   areas related to the intersection of content and networking,
   including such areas as peer-to-peer, data grid computing, utility
   and edge computing, application networking, wireless content
   delivery, pervasive networking and content computing. Building
   on the success of the previous WCW meetings, WCW10 plans to form
   a strong technical program that covers the newest and most
   interesting areas relating to content delivery services as they
   move through the Internet.

Call for Papers:

   The workshop solicits technical papers related to Internet content
   delivery, caching and replication, and content services networking.
   Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

   -Content delivery architectures
   -P2P file sharing, storage, and content delivery
   -Caching and content distribution for mobile wireless systems
   -Web caching and replication (protocols and architectures)
   -Edge services and dynamic content caching
   -Multimedia content distribution
   -Overlay networks for content delivery
   -Content placement and request routing
   -Empirical studies of deployed content delivery systems
   -Security in content distribution systems
   -Wide-area upload and content gathering
   -Novel applications and paradigms for caching and content
    distribution

Guidelines:

   Technical papers and synopses are welcome. Technical papers
   describe previously unpublished research results or empirical
   evaluations of current systems. Synopses are summaries of interesting
   new problems or approaches, or of standards or development efforts
   in progress. Technical papers are limited to 5000 words; synopses
   are limited to 3000 words. We require authors to first submit a
   150-word abstract to ease the process of reviewer assignment. The
   Program Committee will judge submitted papers on relevance,
   significance, originality, clarity, and technical merit. Do not
   submit product marketing material or material that is previously
   published or under review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be
   either published in the LNCS Series of Springer-Verlag or as IEEE
   Proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must
   attend the workshop to present their work. Please submit technical
   papers and synopses in PDF format through the submission form on
   the conference Website.

Proposals for Panels:

   WCW panels bring together researchers from industry and academia.
   These panels are an important element of WCW. This year we plan
   on having a panel that discusses "Ten years of Content Distribution".
   Please send other panel proposals in plain text by e-mail to the
   Program Chairs (iwcw05@eurecom.fr).

Important Dates:

   03/08/2005: Deadline for abstract submissions
   03/15/2005: Deadline for paper submissions
   05/31/2005: Acceptance notification
   06/28/2005: Camera-ready papers due
