CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on High-Speed Local Networks (HSLN) held in conjunction with the 28th IEEE LCN conference http://www.hcs.ufl.edu/hsln http://www.ieeelcn.org

October 20-24, 2003 Bonn/Königswinter, Germany

Important dates and contact: ---------------------------- Paper submission: May 23, 2003 Notification of acceptance: June 27, 2003 Camera-ready copy due: July 25, 2003 Workshop Chairs: Bernd Heinrichs (bheinric@cisco.com) Alan D. George (george@hcs.ufl.edu)

General Information: -------------------- The High-Speed Local Networks (HSLN) workshop, within the 28th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN), focuses on the design, analysis, implementation, and exploitation of new concepts, techno- logies, and applications related to high-performance networks on a local scale. This workshop will bring together networking researchers, engineers, and practitioners from across the spectrum of high-speed local networks, with participants from industry, academia, and government. Original papers that present research results, case studies, technology development or deployment experience, work in progress, etc. are solicited, as are survey articles.

Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to): - High-speed LANs (e.g. Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet) - System-area networks (e.g. SCI, Myrinet, ServerNet) - Storage-area networks (e.g. Fibre Channel) and I/O interconnects - High-speed networks in embedded systems (e.g. avionics, space systems) - Protocols, services, and topologies for high-speed local networks - Routing and switch architectures for high-speed local networks - Quality of Service (QoS) in high-speed local networks - Performance analysis of high-speed local networks and systems - Modeling and simulation of high-speed local networks - Middleware for high-speed local network communication - Applications for high-speed local networks (e.g. video on demand) - Transparent LAN services (e.g. VPLS versus MPLS) - Implementation issues (e.g. network processors) and security issues

Paper Submission Instructions: ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit papers of up to ten camera-ready pages, in PDF or Postscript format, for presentation at the workshop and publication in the conference proceedings. Papers should be submitted by email to the workshop at hsln@hcs.ufl.edu on or before May 23, 2003.
