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Unpublished papers describing original research are solicited.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:

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:
