Overview:
The International Workshop on Web Caching and Content
Distribution (WCW) serves as the premiere meeting for researchers and
practitioners to exchange results and visions on all aspects of
content distribution, and delivery. Innovations in content delivery
systems continue to have strong impact in the Internet, resulting in a
surge of interest in both content delivery applications and the
web/network infrastructure that supports novel content delivery
applications. Starting from basic caching, research in content
distribution has broadened its scope to cover practically all areas
related to the intersection of content and networking, including such
areas as peer-to-peer, data grid computing, utility and edge
computing, application networking, wireless content delivery,
pervasive networking and content computing. Building on the success of
the previous WCW meetings, WCW10 plans to form a strong technical
program that covers the newest and most interesting areas relating to
content delivery services as they move through the Internet.

Call for Papers:
The workshop solicits technical papers related to Internet content
delivery, caching and replication, and content services
networking. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited
to:
-Content delivery architectures
-P2P file sharing, storage, and content delivery
-Caching and content distribution for mobile wireless systems
-Web caching and replication (protocols and architectures)
-Edge services and dynamic content caching
-Multimedia content distribution
-Overlay networks for content delivery
-Content placement and request routing
-Empirical studies of deployed content delivery systems
-Security in content distribution systems
-Wide-area upload and content gathering
-Novel applications and paradigms for caching and content distribution

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previously unpublished research results or empirical evaluations of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. We require authors to first submit a 150-word
abstract to ease the process of reviewer assignment. The Program
Committee will judge submitted papers on relevance, significance,
originality, clarity, and technical merit. Do not submit product
marketing material or material that is previously published or under
review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be either published in the LNCS
Series of Springer-Verlag or as IEEE Proceedings. At least one author
of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present their
work. Please submit technical papers and synopses in PDF format
through the submission form on the conference Website.

Proposals for Panels: WCW panels bring together researchers from
industry and academia. These panels are an important element of
WCW. This year we plan on having a panel that discusses "Ten years of
Content Distribution". Please send other panel proposals in plain text
by e-mail to the Program Chairs (iwcw05@eurecom.fr).
