SCOPE
Satellite communications will play an increasingly
important role in our
future information-based society. This is
evidenced by the systems
currently in operation (e.g., DirecTV(TM),
DirecPC, GPS, and Iridium) as
well as those to offer broadband, interactive, and
multimedia Internet
services around the next millenium (SpaceWay,
Teledesic, Astrolink, etc.).
WOSBIS, held three times in 96, 97, 98 in
conjunction with MobiCOM,
is a premier workshop on satellite networks and
services and provides
a forum for exploratory research contributions on
lifting the
technological barriers to achieve innovative
satellite applications
and services. This year, WOSBIS will be held in
conjunction with
GLOBECOM'99 and focuses on the communication
aspect of satellite-based
information services, more specifically in the
network layer, data link
layer, and medium access sub-layer. We are
interested in work that is
relevant to both ongoing systems (i.e. current LEO
deployment, high
bandwidth GEO systems, etc.) and future satellite
networks.
TOPICS
Papers are solicited in all research and applied
areas related to satellite-based
information systems (including, but not limited
to):
* Datalink technology for satellites, ATM
over satellites
* Resource management and network management
* Inter-satellite link communications
* Constellation planning and LEO routing
* Bandwidth and latency management
* Quality of Service support in satellite
networks
* Medium Access Control protocols for
LEO/MEO/GEO or hybrid networks
* IP protocols for satellite
* High-data rate terminals
* Architectures of high speed satellite
networks
* Satellite on-broad processing architectures
* Algorithms for packet scheduling in
satellite networks
* Routing protocols in satellite networks
* Satellite network control and management
* Mobile satellite services
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All submissions will be handled electronically.
Authors should e-mail
a PostScript version of their paper to
[email protected] In order to
ensure that the PostScript versions of the papers
can be printed,
authors should be careful that their papers meet
the following restrictions:
- PostScript version 2 or later.
- Within 5 to 10 pages.
- Fits properly on "US Letter" size paper
(8.5X11 inches)
- Reference only Computer Modern or standard
Adobe printer fonts
(i.e. Courier, Times, Roman, or Helvetica);
other fonts may be used but must be
included in the PostScript file.
It is expected that all accepted papers will be
presented at the workshop.
