SAC 2012

For the past twenty-six years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2012 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is hosted by The Microsoft Research - University of Trento. 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/sac2012/

TRACK ON NETWORKING

A special track on Networking will be held at SAC 2012. 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 communications, networks and services. Original and unpublished papers are invited in all areas of networking. The Track will emphasize the design, implementation, management and applications of computer communications, networks and services. 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 Network · Congestion and/or Flow Control · Content Distribution · Cluster, Grid and Cloud Computing · 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 · Network Security · Network Survivability and Adaptability · Peer to Peer and Overlay Networks · Quality of Service and Quality of Experience · Routing and Switching · Self-organizing Networks · Traffic Engineering and Characterization · Transport Protocols · Ubiquitous Networks

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Original and unpublished papers are solicited from the above-mentioned areas. The file format should be either Post Script or PDF (PDF preferred). The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate double blind review.
