Call For Papers

      Third IEEE Workshop on the Architecture and Implementation
				  of
	      High Performance Communication Subsystems
			      (HPCS'95)

	       Mystic, Connecticut, August 23-25, 1995

	     Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society
		     Technical Co-Sponsorship by
     the Technical Committee on Computer Communication (TCCC) and
     the Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking (TCGN)

In this workshop (HPCS'95), the focus will be on the architectural,
algorithmic and practical issues related to the construction of a
large scale "Information Superhighway".  These include its
infrastructure, applications and terminal home and office devices.

The term "Information Superhighway" is being generically used to refer
to future networks where users will be able to access and exchange a
variety of multimedia information and run bandwidth-avid applications.
Using current technology to build such systems may seem feasible but a
more careful and detailed view often reveals the inadequacy of some
current techniques and the nonexistence of several components needed
to build the complete system.

Presentations describing original techniques, experimental findings,
design issues and comparative studies related to the general theme of
HPCS'95 are sought. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  - end-to-end architecture
  - applications and their requirements
  - application and service access protocols
  - security, privacy and information protection
  - user and information mobility
  - quality-of-service requirements and guarantees
  - software and hardware design and implementations
  - system integration and deployment
  - workstations for homes, offices, schools, etc
  - accessing and sharing network resources
  - interconnectivity and interoperability
  - transmission technology over various media
  - wireless communications
  - gigabit networking technology
  - standards
