Technically Co-sponsored by  IEEE Communications Society
               Supported by  NTT, Hitachi, GMD-FOKUS

Incorporating computational capabilities into the network is
expected to ease the provision of value-added services and to
accelerate network infrastructure innovation. Active Network
technologies arise in this context as the solutions for offering
a flexible, dynamically customizable and programmable network
infrastructure. Network services are expected to be dynamically
customized for particular types of applications, users or
individual packets.
As the first International Working Conference on Active Network
held in Berlin, IWAN'99 was aimed at providing the opportunity
for discussions on various views, frameworks, applications, and
implementations of the Active Network technologies. IWAN2000
follows this line, and also offers the opportunity for evaluating
this emerging technology. Reporting experience and results from
projects and trials are seen as a major goal of IWAN2000.
