PROGRAM CHAIR
Tom Anderson, University of Washington

The goal of this symposium is to bring together a diverse collection of 
engineers and researchers 
to help define the future of Internet applications, technologies, and 
systems. We actively 
encourage participation by experts in distributed systems, networking, 
performance measurement, 
security, user interfaces, artificial intelligence, operating systems, 
and system administration. 

We believe future Internet innovations will emerge from a fusion of the 
best ideas from a spectrum 
of areas. This will be a 3 day symposium, featuring refereed paper 
presentations, invited
talks, Works-in-Progress presentations, demos, panel discussions, and 
Birds-of-a-Feather sessions. 

TECHNICAL SESSIONS
The Internet continues to evolve in interesting and unexpected ways. 
Electronic commerce, mobility, 
streaming media, and other developments are driving the creation of new 
applications, protocols, 
security models, and systems. Recent application-level changes, such as 
XML, may dramatically improve 
the functionality of the Web, and an increasing number of consumer 
devices are being built to be 
Internet ready. What's next? 

USITS emphasizes both innovative research and quantified experience in 
Internet applications, 
technologies, and systems. We seek papers describing original work 
concerning the design, 
implementation, and application of Internet technologies. Besides mature 
work, we also encourage 
papers outlining a compelling distant vision of the future, 
exceptionally promising prototypes, 
or enlightening negative results. Case studies and experience papers are 
particularly welcome.
