	Peer-to-peer caching and content delivery
	Peering and content services internetworking
	Security and availability of Web service architectures
	Streaming media caching
	Web workload analysis and characterization
	Wide-area upload and "content gathering"

Guidelines

Technical papers and synopses are welcome. Technical papers describe previously unpublished research results or empirical evaluations of current systems. Synopses are summaries of interesting new problems or approaches, or of standards or development efforts in progress. Technical papers are limited to 5000 words; synopses are limited to 3000 words. The Program Committee will judge submitted papers on relevance, significance, originality, clarity, and technical merit. We encourage authors to submit any technically sound contributions of interest. Please do not submit product marketing material or material that is previously published or under review elsewhere.

Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings distributed to participants and made available on the Web. We anticipate recommending selected papers for journal publication. Authors of accepted papers will present their work in 15-minute or 25-minute talks at the workshop, for synopses and technical papers respectively.

Proposals for Panels

WCW panels bring together researchers from industry and academia. These panels are an important element of WCW. Please send panel proposals in plain text by e-mail to the Program Chair (douglis@acm.org).
