Fourth International Workshop on Networked Group Communication
October 23-25, 2002
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Organized in cooperation with
ACM SIGCOMM and COST 264
http://signl.cs.umass.edu/ngc2002
The aim of NGC is to allow researchers and practitioners to present
the design and implementation techniques for networked group
communication. The focus of the workshop is on peer-to-peer,
multicast, and networked group communication, ranging from the link
layer, through routing, and reliability and traffic control, right
up to session and application level control mechanisms. This
workshop is the fourth of this international event. The first
workshop was in Pisa, Italy, in November 1999; the second was in
Stanford, USA, in November 2000; the third was in London, UK,
in November 2001.
We wish to distinguish NGC as a forum for novel and creative
research projects and discussions on the future of networked group
communication in academia and industry. To this end, NGC invites
you to submit five-page extended abstracts. Authors of accepted
papers will be invited to present at the workshop and publish
full-length versions of their papers in the workshop
proceedings. The extended abstract abstract should represent the
paper in "short form." Authors should include full references,
figures and significant results when available. The submissions
will be judged on significance, originality, clarity, relevance,
and correctness.
The conference will be held at Holiday Inn, Brookline in Boston,
MA. It will start with two half-day tutorials on October 23,
2002. The technical program will include a keynote and invited
talks on October 24-25, 2002. Depending on interest level, and
suitable proposed topics, there may also be a panel discussion as
well as a poster session. Authors are invited to submit papers on
any issue related to networked group communication, including:
* peer-to-peer applications
* applications and services enabled through multicast
* wireless and mobile communication
* multiplayer games
* measurement studies
* content distribution
* network security
* application layer multicast
* economic models
* novel group communication architectures
* routing, naming, address allocation
* group and session management techniques
* QoS and network engineering
* scalability: overheads, stability, analysis, experiments
* adaption and congestion control for group communication
* heterogeneous group communication
* reliable and semi-reliable protocols
