SAC 2009

For the past twenty-three years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary and international forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact and present their work. The ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) is the sole sponsor of SAC. The conference proceedings are published by ACM and are also available online through ACM Digital Library. Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical sessions. For additional information, please check the SAC web page: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/

 

 

TRACK ON COMPUTER NETWORKS

A special track on Computer Networks will be held at SAC 2009. This track aims to be a forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners, in academia and industry to share new ideas, experiences and results, and to present their latest findings in any aspects of Computer Networks. Original papers and tutorials (half or full day) are invited in all areas of Computer Networks. The Track will emphasize the design, implementation and applications of computer networks. Topics of mostly theoretical nature are also welcome, provided there is clear practical potential in applying the results of such work. Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

 

·           Active and Programmable Networks

·           Ad hoc & Sensor Networks

·           Congestion and/or Flow Control

·           Content Distribution

·           Grid Networking

·           High-speed Network Architectures

·           Internet Services and Applications

·           Optical Networks

·           Mobile and Wireless Networks

·           Network Modeling and Simulation

·           Multicast

·           Multimedia Communications

·           Network Control and Management

·           Network Protocols

·           Network Performance

·           Network Measurement
