SCOPE
--------------------------------------

IEEE Communications Society/Create-Net BROADNETS 2006 is an international 
conference focusing on broadband communications, networks, and systems 
and covers the entire gamut of next generation networks, communications 
systems, applications and services. The conference website is: 
http://www.broadnets.org. It consists of the following three symposia: 

- Wireless Communications, Networks and Systems Symposium: covers mobility, 
routing for multihop, multimedia QoS and traffic management, cross-layer 
optimization, MAC and emerging physical layer technologies (UWB, MIMO) 
for high-speed wireless networking, and other related topics.

- Optical Communications, Networks and Systems Symposium: covers WDM 
technologies, Ethernet and MPLS integration into the optical layer, 
Next-Generation SONET/SDH, as well as SAN extensions over DWDM/SONET/SDH, 
Optical and WDM communication systems and cross-layer design, and other 
related topics.

- General Symposium: covers theory and algorithms of networking such as 
routing, congestion control, traffic engineering, peer-to-peer/overlay 
and security; architectures and protocols such as VPLS, SIP and IMS; and 
applications and services such as L2/L3 VPNs, VoIP, IPTV, content services 
and location-based services, and other related topics.
