FOR PARTICIPATION
The
demand for networked consumer systems and devices
is large and growing rapidly. At home, in a
car or truck, at work or at play, Internet citizens
want transparent internetworking for the systems
and devices that provide entertainment, information,
and communications. This internetworking should
be on-demand, with whomever or whatever they
want, regardless of time or location. As a result,
consumer networking is gaining increasing attention
from industry spawning a range of dramatically
different solutions including wireless, wireline,
and power line networked communications environments,
each with their own strength and special challenges
to overcome. This in turn has defined the scope
of consumer networking, to range from the body
area networking and personal area networking
to home networking and wide area networking.
In the not too distant future, we will see Ad
hoc networking augmented with sensors sharing
networked knowledge that enables devices and
systems to seamlessly interact with Internet
and wide are wireless systems such as WiFi,
3G and future 4G networks. And this is just
the beginning!
This phenomenon, - "Consumer Communications
and Networking", has been attracting many
researchers in diverse areas from networking
to consumer electronics. This conference will
present the latest approaches and technical
solutions in the area of consumer networking,
enabling technologies such as middleware and
multimedia, and novel applications and services.
The conference will include a peer-reviewed
program of technical sessions, technology application
panels, tutorials, and poster sessions. CCNC
2004 provides a compelling forum for formal
discussion and socialization of many of these
research challenges with seasoned practitioners
and colleagues from throughout the industry
and academia.
Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished
papers, which are not under review in any other
conference or journal in the following, but

A limited number of Student Travel Grants are available
to those student authors who will be presenting papers
and are unable to obtain funding to attend the symposium.
The form will be available in the author kit.
Note:
Every paper accepted for CCNC 2004 must have attached
to it at least one registration at the full member/nonmember
rate. Thus, for a manuscript for which all authors are
students, one student author will be required to register
at the full registration rate. For manuscripts where
at least one author is already registered at the full
rate, this fulfills the obligation for up to four papers
where all the other authors are students.

Attendees
from all non-US Countries, please see the Visa
Information page for details on the new requirements
for entry into the US. |

There will be a Best Paper Award for the best-submitted
paper. Potential candidates for awards will be identified
during the normal review process. A special independent
Awards Committee will be formed to evaluate the candidate
papers together with their presentations and to select the
award winners. The Awards Committee has the right to give
the award to one paper, not to give an award, or to split
the award among several papers. |
