Feature Topic
"Broadband Data Services Over Residential Access Networks"

Applications such as work-at-home, Internet access, home banking, multiplayer video games, and access to popular on-line services are driving the need to support a wide variety of advanced "information-age" services over residential access networks. Several cross-business alliances have been formed to promote specifications that would lead to the development of open interoperable products, and enable the delivery of broadband data services over POTS (e.g., ADSL, HDSL), fiber-based (e.g., HFC, SDV, FITL), and satellite-based (e.g., Iridium, Direct-PC) delivery system architectures to residential and small-business subscribers. This feature topic, consisting of four to seven carefully selected papers, will focus on either: (a) technical, (b) end-to-end services provisioning, or (c) business aspects of broadband data services delivery over the aforementioned delivery systems. 

We invite high-quality submissions of original manuscripts addressing (but not limited to) the following topics: 
Data services delivery architectures: Hardware, Software (Middleware, Groupware, and Businessware) aspects of the core, access, and premises network segments. 
Protocol stacks (e.g., support of ATM, STM, IP, and IEEE 802.X traffic) 
Digital data transmission over coaxial, optical, and satellite communication links
Interoperability and internetworking
Network traffic engineering, modeling, and performance analysis
Data security and network integrity (e.g., gateways, firewalls, etc)
Network reliability and availability
Network survivability and design of self-healing network architectures
Network control, element management, and network management
Broadband market strategy, economic modeling, and network evolution
