	The Fourth IEEE Workshop on the Architecture and Implementation of High Performance Communication Systems (HPCS'97) Sani Beach, Chalkidiki, Greece June 23-25, 1997
Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society

Call For Papers

HPCS'97 will focus on all issues related to systems and services for the 21st century. Advances in all areas of computing and networking have resulted in systems that provide a wide range of applications, from digital libraries to real-time games, attracting a diverse population of users, from researchers and students to travelers and shoppers. The rapid changes in the infrastructure used by telephone, cable, and satellite companies and the new competitive environment fostered by privatization and deregulation as well as the growth of intranets and internet service providers have triggered significant efforts to provide additional services over the network to potential users and buyers. HPCS'97 will focus on the architecture, design and implementation of networks, systems and applications that target these emerging systems.

Presentations are sought, which describe original techniques, methodologies, experimental results, design issues and comparative studies related to the general theme. New ideas, approaches and early results are very welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Communication systems architecture, design and implementation
End-to-end Network Architecture
Applications and their requirements
Residential Broadband Networking
Wireless Networks and Mobility
IP/ATM Integration
Active Networks
Quality-of-Service
Multimedia Systems
Internet Telephony
Digital Video Technology
Enabling Technologies
Security, Management and Service Integration
Standards
Regulatory--Social--Economic Issues
