Full papers are sought for Interworking 2002, the sixth international
symposium on Communications Interworking of IFIP Technical Committee on
Communication Systems (TC6) Working Group on Network and Internetwork
Architectures (WG 6.2).

Interworking 2002 will be held in Perth, Western Australia from 13th-16th
October, 2002.  Full details of the conference, and the required format
and submission information for papers, may be found at:

                http://www.ee.uwa.edu.au/~ifip2002/

The EXTENDED DEADLINE for paper submissions to Interworking 2002 is now:

Authors who have already submitted full papers are invited to revise and
resubmit their papers if they choose, and authors of full abstracts are
invited to complete their full papers in time for the extended deadline.

           ---------------------------------------

The chosen theme for the sixth symposium is Converged Networking: Data
and Real-time over IP, easily the most contested, but also promoted
topic in communications today. The papers sought for the symposium
can be central to the theme or peripheral to it, and can be pro or
contra. The symposium will seek to explore telecommunications technology
trends in whatever their directions.  The quest for convergence of all
telecommunications on a single platform was sparked in the 1970s and is
continuing. There is still movement towards convergence on the basis
of ATM technology. This has however been overtaken, at least for the
present, by an even stronger movement towards convergence on the basis
of the Internet Protocol (IP). The stated theme of the symposium posits
the positive view: convergence of data and real time communications can
indeed happen, and more particularly can happen over IP.  However are
there no unresolved problems?

The Interworking 2002 technical programme committee solicits papers
describing completed original, previously unpublished, research or design
studies, not currently under review by another conference or journal. All
papers will be reviewed, and acceptance decided by the technical programme
committee. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium orally
or by poster.  At least one author of each selected paper or poster
must register for and attend the conference.  Accepted papers will be
published as a book in time for the conference.

Sponsored by:
    The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), Technical
    Committee on Communication Systems (TC6), Working Group on Network and
    Internetwork Architectures (WG 6.2).
