Dear colleagues, our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies! The deadline for submissions to the Seventh IFIP/IEEE Workshop on Protocols for High-Speed Networks (PfHSN'2002) has been extended to Monday November 26, 2001. PfHSN calls for full and for short papers, and also for panel proposals. For complete information about the workshop, please visit: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/glone/pfhsn2002/ A printer friendly version of the call for papers is available at: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/glone/pfhsn2002/pfhsn2002.pdf (PDF) http://www.fokus.gmd.de/glone/pfhsn2002/pfhsn2002.ps (PS) Best regards, Georg Carle and Martina Zitterbart --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 In cooperation with COST263 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. (Information on the history of PfHSN is provided under http://uluru.poly.edu/~tmoors/test/confs.html#pfhsn .) 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. Accepted papers are to be presented at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Papers must be submitted electronically according to the instructions provided under http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/pfhsn2002/#INSTRUCTIONS . (No hard copy submission will be accepted.) Please use the electronic submission system: http://pfhsn2002.fokus.gmd.de/ConfMan/regpaper.html. HOT TOPICS SESSION In addition to regular papers, PfHSN'2002 calls for short papers to be presented in the 'Hot Topics Session(s)'. These papers are intended to present work in progress ideally 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@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'.
