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 keynote speech, followed by a number of short informal presentations grouped into topical sessions, followed by a panel session. All issues relating to high bandwidth networking are relevant, including link layer protocols for optical and wireless networks, large fast switch and router design, transport and higher layer protocols, host and network interface architecture, operating systems, emerging services and applications, testbeds and deployment, network control and management, economic and regulatory issues, security and privacy, and other societal impacts. We are particularly interested in issues related to networks that can be scaled to a high (number of users) x (throughput per user) product. Sessions Presentations are planned to be grouped into the following sessions: o IP and Optical Networks o Wireless and Satellite o Switching, Routing, and Network Processors o A User Prospective: Gigabit Applications, End-to-end Services, Cost and Pricing Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit a one page abstract by February 17, 2003. It must be in plain text and sent by email to the program chairs at andreaf@utdallas.edu and carle@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de . Please include the text "HSN 2003 Submission" in the Subject: field. All submissions will be quickly acknowledged (otherwise contact the program chair to confirm receipt). Notification of the selected abstracts will be made by February 26, 2003. Submission of electronic versions of the presentation foils are due March 14, 2003, to be included in the on-line proceedings prior to the workshop. Additionally, it is encouraged to provide by March 14, 2003 extended versions of the abstract, following the IEEE INFOCOM formatting rules.
