CALL FOR PAPERS

BROADNETS 2009 is an international conference focusing on broadband

communications, networks, and systems and covers the entire gamut of

next generation networks, communications systems, applications and

services. The conference welcomes papers in three tracks, covering

topics (including, but not limited to):

WIRELESS Track

MIMO and OFDM techniques * Modulation and coding schemes * MAC

protocols * Mobility management * Radio resource management * Packet

scheduling algorithms * Routing protocols * Network architecture and

topology design * Hybrid networks * Wireless traffic management *

Cross-layer design and optimization * Wireless QoS * Multihop and

relay networks * Mobile ad hoc networks * Wireless sensor and mesh

networks

OPTICAL Track

WDM transmission technologies and systems * Optical cross-connects

and optical packet and burst switches * Optical packet, burst and

circuit switching networks * Optical access networks - FTTx networks

and systems * Hybrid packet / circuit nodes and architectures * Radio

over fiber based networks * FTTx networks and systems * Optical grids

in access and core * SAN extensions * Multilayer optical networks

(incl. Ethernet, IP, G-MPLS technologies) * Cross-layer design (incl.

application layer dependence) * Reliable optical networking * Optical

networking for green information and communications technology *

Traffic grooming and processing * Modelling and design of optical

networks and systems * Network operations and management * Passive

Optical Networks * Techno-economic aspects of optical networks *

Demonstrations and field-trials.

INTERNET Track

Routing * Scheduling * Congestion control * Traffic engineering *

Network modeling * Network measurement * Network management * Network

QoS * Network security * Overlay networks * Peer-to-peer networks *

Content distribution networks * Web technologies * Media technologies

(VoIP, IPTV, video streaming) * Location-based services * "Clean-slate"

Internet architectures, algorithms, protocols, and services
