Gigabit Networking Workshop GBN99 - Call for Participation
21 March 1999 - New York, NY
Sponsored by the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking
in conjunction with INFOCOM'99
Purpose and Format
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and
discussing very recent work in gigabit networking and to raise
relevant issues to the general networking community in a timely
manner. It will take place from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM with lunch
provided. There will be an open business meeting of the Technical
Committee on Gigabit Networking following the workshop at 5:00 PM.
The workshop will consist of a number of short informal presentations
and discussion on current research and implementation, hot topics,
position statements, and controversial issues relating to high
bandwidth networking. The focus is on end-to-end issues including
transport and higher layer protocols, host and network interface
architecture, operating systems, emerging applications, deployment and
management of large networks, economic and regulatory issues, security
and privacy, and other societal impacts. We are particularly
interested on the theme of high performance distributed information
access designed to scale to gigabit giganode networks with a high
(number of users) x (throughput per user) product, including:
- high-perf. authentication and security
(hardware and software solutions, and their trade-off)
- low latency name resolution (e.g., URL and URC) and name service
(e.g., URL and DNS)
- high-performance distributed IPC, shared memory, and file systems
- high-performance information access and interactive service support
- high-performance low latency transactions, session control,
and network signalling
Special Focus Topic - each year, GBN highlights focus topics, for
which abstracts are specifically recruited. This year's topics are:
- VPNs (NATs, etc.) at gigabit speeds
- Network layers over direct media (IP over SONET, etc.)
- Gigabit LANs - done deal, or work to be done?
There will be sessions reserved for interactive discussion.
Suggestions for additional topics are welcome (email tcgn@ieee.org)
and Cc: to the program co-chairs); controversial topics and outrageous
viewpoints are encouraged. Presentations will appear in the online
proceedings of the workshop, under URL
http://www.ccrc.wustl.edu/pub/ieee-tcgn/conference/gbn99.
Submission
Submission of a one page abstract is due 29 January 1999, and must be
in plain text (66 lines max.) by email to the program chair at
evans@ittc.ukans.edu. Please include the text "GBN99 Submission" in
the Subject: field; all submissions will be quickly acknowledged
(otherwise contact the program chair to confirm receipt).
Notification will be made by 12 February 1999. Annotated electronic
versions of the presentation foils are due 15 March 1999, to be
included in the on-line proceedings prior to the workshop.
Selected submissions will be invited to develop full papers for
fast-track review for Protocols for High-Speed Networks '99,
