Scope
This symposium emphasizes the design, resource allocation and performance evaluation advances required in order to deliver the expected high quality and reliability of emerging network services. The symposium will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of ongoing research on the challenging issues related to the requirements, metrics, measurement, management, and dissemination, as well as performance modeling for the emerging era of network services. For details about submission deadline, paper format, and on-line submission procedures, please see the main GLOBECOM 2006 page . Authors should include one of the topics-of-interest below when submitting a paper.
