Scope
The Internet, because of its size, decentralized nature, and loosely
controlled architecture, provides a hotbed of challenges that are
amenable to mathematical analysis and algorithmic techniques. This
workshop brings together mathematicians, theoretical computer
scientists and network specialists in a fast growing area that is
an intriguing intersection of Computer Science, Graph Theory,
Game Theory, and Networks.
CAAN 2006 will be
a one-day workshop, with registration and reception/dinner on the previous evening. It will
be co-located with SIROCCO (July 3-5) in Chester, United Kingdom (click here
for a picture gallery).
Unpublished papers describing original research are solicited. The
list of topics for the workshop includes, but is not limited to:
- Economics
- Game Theory and the Internet
- Geometric Routing
- Web Caching
- Combinatorics
- Network Tomography
- Peer-to-Peer Systems
- Graph Theory/Web Graph
- Data Stream Analysis
- Statistical Distributions
- Optimization
- Quality of Service (QoS)
as they relate to networks in general and the
Internet in particular. The conference will be organized as a series
of talks with time for focused discussions. We solicit general
participation and invite presentations on all aspects of networking
challenges that can be addressed using techniques from theoretical
computer science and mathematics. The goal of the workshop is to
foster interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers in this
field.
Submissions
Authors should submit an extended abstract in postscript or PDF format
by March 24, 2006. The paper should not exceed 12 pages
in length on letter-size paper using 11 point or larger font. Papers
must be submitted electronically at the following website:
http://www.easychair.org/CAAN2006/
Simultaneous submission
to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not allowed.
It is planned to publish revised papers in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (final approval pending) after the workshop.
