2nd International Workshop on

HIGH-PRECISION NETWORKS OPERATIONS AND CONTROL

(HIPNET 2019)

25 October 2019, Halifax, Canada

http://www.cnsm-conf.org/2019/hipnet2019.html

Co-located with the 15th International Conference on

Network and Service Management (CNSM)

===============================================================

--- SCOPE ---

New waves of networked applications continue to push the limits

of what is possible with networks today. Augmented Reality and

Tactile Internet require ultra-low latency measured in single-

digit milliseconds. Requirements of Industrial Internet appli-

cations that involve real-time industrial control are even more

stringent and tolerate no jitter at all. Compounding this

situation is the fact that many of those applications are

mission-critical and cannot afford any loss in connectivity or

even single p ackets. Collectively, these applications require

High-Precision Networks that are characterized by stringent

service level boundaries and associated guarantees that border

on determinism. This requires a rethinking of many of the

principles underlying existing "Best Effort" internetworking

technology.

Several approaches trying to tackle those challenges are

emerging. Data centers with fixed topologies and a constant

number of hops rapidly replace conventional routing and more

general Internet topologies. Networks are becoming more

programmable to allow to custom-tailor and optimize treatment

of packets and flows. Related technologies range from Service

Function Chaining to Network Slicing to SDN. One overarching

question concerns how these technologies can be harnessed and

what additional approaches are needed to be able to actually

deliver High-Precision Networking. This will involve advances

over a wide range of areas, such as programming and processing

of packets in the data plane, high-precision measurements and

telemetry with nanosecond accuracy at scale, control interfaces

and ultra-low latency control loops to optimize service levels,

as well as advances in the related platforms and algorithms

that allow for their management and control.

The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers, students

and professionals from industry and academia to discuss

challenges and present work-in-progress and solution approaches

to deliver on High-Precision Networks and their management

and control.
