The Program Committee has received inquiries about remote participation at the IAB/IRTF Congestion Control Workshop to be held on June 28, 2012 in Vancouver, Canada.  While participants are strongly encouraged to attend the meeting in person, arrangements
 for remote participation are planned (for those with accepted papers).   Therefore if you were considering submitting a paper but could not make the workshop in person, we would encourage you to go ahead and submit;  please indicate in your submission if you
 are only able to participate remotely.

Call for Papers
 
The IAB and IRTF will hold a workshop on "Congestion Control for Interactive Real-Time Communication" in Vancouver, Canada on Saturday, July 28th, 2012 prior to the IETF-84 meeting.  More information on the workshop is available at  http://www.iab.org/cc-workshop/

This is an invitation-only workshop. 
 
Every prospective workshop participant must submit a position paper. The position paper reflects your views on a particular area of the workshop theme. We are interested in your opinion as an expert rather than your official company position. 
 Keep your submission short and focused.  The focus should be on the problems and challenges that exist, rather than a detailed solution.  If your expertise allows you to write about a range of topics, please pick the one topic you think would bring the most
 value to the workshop. 
 
Papers up to 3 pages, formatted in HTML, PDF, or plain text (for example, as a submitted Internet-Draft) are ideal.  Authors of accepted papers will be invited to the workshop.  Accepted position papers will be published. 

Please use the following Website for submitting your papers:
