From prasant@cs.ucdavis.edu Mon Apr 8 14:20:11 2002 Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2002 13:35:09 -0800 (PST) From: Prasant Mohapatra To: tccc@cs.columbia.edu Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue in IEEE Network Call For Papers IEEE Network Special Issue on Multicasting: An Enabling Technology Guest Editors: Prof. Prasant Mohapatra Prof. G. Manimaran Department of Computer Science Dept. of Elect. and Computer Engineering University of California Iowa State University Davis, CA 95616 Ames, IA 50011 Email: prasant@cs.ucdavis.edu Email: gmani@iastate.edu Scope: The phenomenal growth and success of the Internet has been due to both technology enabling the applications and applications driving the technologies. As part of this trend, multicasting has been an enabling technology that plays an important role in the design, development, and operation of many current and next generation applications and services that rely on the efficient delivery of packets to multiple destinations. Due to the advent of broadband, wireless and Web technologies, it is becoming increasingly viable to design and implement large scale, heterogeneous wireline and wireless networks that can support content distribution, teleconferencing, media ^Mstreaming, distance learning, collaborative workspace, and "push" oriented applications. These technology advancements and applications and the convergence of computing, communications, and information have opened up several challenging problems and issues for both researchers and practitioners in area of multicasting. The goal of this special issue in IEEE Network Magazine is present to the audience of the magazine (1) a comprehensive understanding of the design, performance, and deployment issues and solutions of the various multicasting technologies and (2) a consolidated view of ongoing research and development in multicasting and to set future research directions. To achieve this goal, this special issue seeks to survey, consolidate, and present the leading-edge research, prototype development, deployment, and performance studies in multicasting technologies. In particular, focused tutorial and survey contributions are solicited on (but not restricted to) the following subject categories related to multicasting: IP Multicasting Overlay Multicasting QoS-aware Multicasting Secure Multicasting Content Distribution Networks Distributed Sensor Networks Multicasting in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Multicasting in Peer-to-Peer Networks Multicasting in Optical Networks Managing group, traffic, and network dynamics Prototype implementations and Performance studies Deployment issues and pragmatic solutions Submission: Interested authors should submit an electronic version of the manuscript either in Postscript or PDF format as an email attachment to one of the guest editors.
