Message from the Program Chairs
Welcome to ICCCN 2011!
The ICCCN conference has established itself as a leading forum for the presentation of high-quality research in all aspects of computer communications and networking, and for fostering interaction and the exchange of ideas.
ICCCN 2011 was fortunate to attract very high interest among the community, and the main conference received 452 regular submissions (a record!) from more than 45 countries in all five continents. These figures indicate that ICCCN conferences have become worldwide reference events in the field. The high number of submissions provided an excellent opportunity for a high-quality program, but also called for a demanding and laborious paper evaluation process. The 361 members of the Technical Program Committee worked efficiently and responsibly under tight time constraints to produce a total of 1330 reviews that provided the basis for the final paper selection.
As a result of this process, 134 regular papers and two invited papers were finally selected for presentation at the main conference, an acceptance rate of 29.6%. Given the large number of submitted manuscripts and the tight time and space constraints, many strong submissions could not be accepted. To allow the conference participants to benefit from further worthwhile and stimulating research results, 34 papers were accepted for presentation at the workshops co-located with the main conference.
The main program of ICCCN 2011 covers three days and includes streams of up to four parallel sessions. The program is further enriched by four keynote presentations offered by world-renowned researchers in the field, and three plenary panel presentations that address topics in Multimedia Networking, Next-Generation Networks, and Mobile and Wireless Networking. The main program is complemented by a diverse set of high-quality tutorials and workshops.
We are grateful to all authors who trusted us with their work; without them there would be no conference. The final result would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of many colleagues. Special thanks are due to the track chairs, the members of the Technical Program Committee, and to all external referees for the quality and depth of the reviews, and their sense of responsibility and responsiveness under very tight deadlines.
