The 2006 International Zurich Seminar on Communications (IZS) will be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, from Wednesday, Feb. 22, through Friday, Feb. 24, 2006.

Original technical contributions are solicited on topics including:

Access:

	Wide area mobile radio
	Wireless local area networks
	Wireless local loops
	xDSL and cable modem technologies

Transmission:

	Channel modeling
	Applied information theory
	Coding and modulation
	Joint detection, decoding, and ... (you name it)
	MIMO wireless and space-time coding
	Ultra wide band
	Antenna design
	Fundamental hardware issues

Networking:

	Network information theory
	Algorithms, protocols, and systems for routing and switching
	Ad-hoc and peer-to-peer networking of all scales
	High-mobility architectures and protocols
	Next-generation internet
	Optical networks
	Quality of service
	Fault-tolerance and reliability
	Security

As in 2004, roughly half the contributions will be invited.

Due to its traditional format with at most two parallel sessions, the IZS is an opportunity to learn from, and to communicate to, leading experts in areas beyond one's own speciality. All papers should therefore be presented with this wide audience in mind.

Papers will be reviewed on the basis of a manuscript (not exceeding 4 pages) of sufficient detail to permit reasonable evaluation. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to produce a manuscript not exceeding 4 pages that will be published in the Proceedings. All accepted papers will be allowed twenty minutes for presentation.

The deadline for submissions is

September 21, 2005.

Detailed instructions for the submission of papers, as well as information on the technical program, special events, accomodation, etc., will be posted on the IZS 2006 web site:

We look forward to seeing you at IZS!
