                           CALL FOR PAPERS

        IFIP TC6 WG6.2 / IEEE Comsoc TC on Gigabit Networking
                  Seventh International Workshop on
            Protocols For High-Speed Networks (PfHSN'2002)

               Monday April 22 - Wednesday April 24, 2002
                          Berlin, Germany

                        Sponsored by IFIP WG6.2
        Working Group on Network and Internetwork Architecture

                      Technical co-sponsorship by
                    the IEEE Communications Society 
               Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking

                  Quality of future Internet Services


SCOPE

PfHSN is a successful series of workshops providing an international
forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas
on protocols for high speed networks. The PfHSN'2002 workshop in Berlin
follows the PfHSN'99 event held in Salem, Massachusetts. In addition to
protocols and implementation techniques for high speed networks, the
workshop will focus this year on high-speed and high-performance
optical, active, and wireless networks. Original research contributions
are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the
high-performance (high-bandwidth/low-latency) aspects of:

        o Protocol development
        o Protocol analysis
        o High-performance architectures
        o Implementation of high-speed protocols
        o Maintaining QoS at high speeds
        o Experimental studies
        o Application-oriented issues
        o Application controlled communication systems
        o Protocols for distributed multimedia and peer-to-peer
          applications
        o Protocol implementation tools
        o Fast lookup and classification
        o Programmable hardware in support of high speed protocols
        o High speed active network architecture
        o Network processors
        o High performance middlebox communication (firewalling etc.)
        o High speed measurements
        o Optical network protocols

In the past, the workshop has been small (50 to 80 researchers). As a
result, a considerable about of time is devoted to informal discussion.
This year workshop will be limited to 120 participants.

INFORMATION TO CONTRIBUTORS

Prospective authors are invited to submit for review, unpublished 
original contributions (not exceeding 12 pages single spaced) which 
describe recent and innovative research results or developments within 
the scope of the workshop.
Papers must be submitted electronically according to the 
instructions that will be described on the conference web site 
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/pfhsn2002/ .
(No hard copy submission will be accepted.) 

HOT TOPICS SESSION

In addition to regular papers, PfHSN'2002 calls for short papers to be
presented in the 'Hot Topics Session'. These papers are intended to 
present work in progress on hot, controversial or provocative topics.

PANELS

Panels are solicited that cover innovative, issues of interest. Panel
proposals should not exceed 4 pages, including biographical sketches of 
the proposed panelists. Proposals for panels should be submitted to the
workshop co-chairs (pfhsn2002 at fokus.gmd.de).

PUBLICATION

Accepted Papers will be published in the conference proceedings 
published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version 
of their papers for possible publication in a special issue of the 
Journal 'Computer Networks'.
