     Call for Papers

     IEEE INFOCOM 2008 High-Speed Networks Workshop (HSN 2008)

     Phoenix, Arizona, USA
     Sunday, April 13, 2008, from 1 pm to 6 pm
     http://www.arl.wustl.edu/~hsn2008

Technical Sponsors

      * IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking (TCHSN)
      * IEEE ComSoc Optical Networking Technical Committee (ONTC)

Traditionally held in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM, the workshop on
High-Speed Networks brings together researchers from a wide spectrum
of areas related to end-to-end communications at rates up to the Tbps
range. While physical transmission media enable such high-bitrate
communications, existing link, network, transport, and application
protocols and their software and hardware implementations in both
end systems and core nodes have not yet realized this potential.
The limitations of the current designs justify exploration of novel
clean-slate approaches to dependable high-bitrate networking desired
in e-Science, medicine, entertainment, data centers and other
application domains.

HSN 2008 provides a unique forum for discussions centered on the design,
validation and deployment of high-speed networks without imposing the
constraint of straightforward integration of the proposed ideas into
the existing network infrastructure. All topics pertinent to high-speed
networking are of interest. They include but are not limited to the
following:

      * Network architectures including clean-slate approaches
      * Switching technologies including packet and circuit switching
      * Transport protocols including congestion control, scheduling
        and reliable delivery
      * Applications requiring high-speed end-to-end services
      * Cross-layer network protocols
      * Security at high bitrates and with large data volumes
      * Node design including network processors, configurable logic,
        input/output and storage
      * Innovative physical transmission media and associated systems
      * Metropolitan area networks, Carrier Ethernet and next-generation
        optical transport
      * High-speed access technologies
