Summaries of proposed technical papers of interest to the broadband cable television engineering community are being sought by the National Cable Television Association in preparation for Cable 2001, NCTA's 50th Annual Convention and International Exposition.
Topics of particular interest include: managed access architectures; interactive television technology; network traffic modeling and planning; home networks; media storage and management; thin or portable client technology; back-office support for advanced services; and other advanced broadband technology topics.
Summaries of proposed technical papers will be judged in late January by a panel of NCTA Engineering Committee members. Judging will be based on reference value in the context of operations and design problem solving treatments. Product pitches and previously published works will not be considered. Multiple entries from a system, manufacturer or individual are acceptable.
Selected authors must create camera-ready manuscripts by April 6, 2001, and authors must be prepared to give a 15- to 20-minute oral presentation at Cable 2001 based on their paper's key concepts.
Authors interested in preparing and presenting a technical paper Cable 2001 should submit a one- or two-page summary via e-mail to no later than Jan. 12, 2001.
