CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE INFOCOM 2007 HIGH-SPEED NETWORKS WORKSHOP ============================================== Anchorage, Alaska, May 11th, 2007
http://iweb.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom/index.htm
Sponsored by ------------ United States Department of Energy, Office of Science
Technical Co-Sponsorship by --------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking (TCHSN) IEEE ComSoc Optical Networking Technical Committee (ONTC)
Several e-Science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps. Moreover, current trends point towards the need for a sustained terabits/sec end-to-end throughput and unprecedented levels of scalability to accommodate the requirements of emerging applications in a broad range of domains, including entertainment, computational monitoring and steering, multi-scale simulation and combustion modeling, remote instrumentation, and network-based visualization. Several attempts have been made to address emergent bandwidth needs by deploying larger capacities in the network core. Increasing physical-layer transmission speeds, however, has not yielded dramatic increases in end-to-end user-level throughputs. Moreover, the limitations of current network protocols and traffic engineering frameworks have proven to be a serious impediment to large-scale deployment of distributed bandwidth-intensive applications. To overcome these limitations, there is a critical need for novel "clean-state" approaches which transcend the traditional methodologies, network architectures and protocols used today .
This workshop is designed to provide a unique forum to explore new frontiers in the area of ultra high-speed and high-performance networks, not constrained by the features and limitations of current networks, with a particular focus on enabling large-scale distributed e-Science applications. The objective is to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas among members research community centered on the design, validation and deployment of ultra-high speed network architectures and protocols to support the end-to-end requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications in a transparent and optimal manner.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Innovative "clean-slate" network architectures for next generation ultra-high speed networks * Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching * Ultra high-speed transport protocols * Novel approaches and strategies for highly secure ultra-high speed networks, protocols and systems * Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks * Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) * Application optimized network middleware * Novel protocols and mechanisms for large-volume data transfers over long distances * High-speed I/O and storage systems * Remote visualizations and instrumentation design and tools * Remote computational monitoring and steering tools and mechanisms
Submission Guidelines
Authors are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract in PDF format. All abstract submissions should be emailed to the TPC co-chairs at nghani@tntech.edu and byrav@cse.unl.edu and will be acknowledged. Authors will be notified about the selected abstracts and requested to provide final presentation slides and extended paper versions (up to 5 pages in length). These materials will be compiled on to CD format in advance of the event and distributed to the registered attendees. Additionally, the extended papers will also be published in the IEEE Xplore listings.
