======= CALL FOR PAPERS =============

HOT INTERCONNECTS

IEEE Symposium on High Performance Interconnects : Silicon Valley's leading conference focused on high-performance interconnects.

http://www.hoti.org/

Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, August 25-27, 2004

Papers are solicited for Hot Interconnects, an international symposium about the hardware and software architecture and implementation of high-performance interconnects. Papers and Presentations should focus on real products, prototypes, or experimental systems and their performance evaluation. Contributions are solicited on the following topics: * Universal services over packet networks * Network-attached storage * Voice and video over packet networks * Differentiated services * Plug-and-play network interfaces * Network security - Auto virus signature detection - Hardware encryption engines - Application protection * Supercomputing and cluster interconnects - Performance evaluation studies for 10 Gbps and faster interconnects - Innovative architectures and designs for 40 and 100 Gbps interconnects * Active and extensible network architectures. * Line rate packet classification and per-flow scheduling Network processors * Protocol accelerators * High-performance network interfaces * Real-time, advanced network measurement - Model-based systems * High-reliability interconnects - Early fault detection - Fault protection - User-transparent fault tolerance * New communication channels - Pushing channels to the Shannon limit - High-speed, economically-viable wireless link architectures - Optical Transport Network (OTN) photonic switching, multiplexing, and signalling * Wireless sensor networks

About the Conference

* Conference will be held at the new TCSEQ Plaza at Stanford University * Papers selected for the conference will be published in a printed and archieved proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society. * A subset of the papers will also be published in a special issue of the IEEE Micro Magazine. * Presentations in the form of 30-minute talks in a single-track format

Submission Guidelines

* Papers need sufficient technical detail to judge its quality and suitability for presentation. * Submit title, author, abstract, and full paper (five pages, single-spaced, double-column). * Papers should be electronically submitted to: http://edas.info/home.cgi?c=4255 * Submission deadline: March 29, 2004
