Technical Program of IEEE Gigabit Networking Workshop' GBN 2001 (22 April 2001, Anchorage, Alaska)

["K. Pawlikowski" <krys@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz>]

    Gigabit Networking Workshop GBN 2001 - Call for Participation
		     22 April 2001 - Anchorage, Alaska
Sponsored by the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking
		    in conjunction with INFOCOM 2001

Purpose and Format
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and
discussing very recent work in gigabit networking and to raise relevant
issues to the general networking community in a timely manner. 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 number of short informal presentations
and
discussion on current research and implementation, hot topics, position
statements, and controversial opinions. All issues relating to high
bandwidth networking are relevant, including link layer protocols for
optical and wireless networks, 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.

Discussion Sessions
There will be sessions reserved for interactive discussion. Suggestions
for particular topics are welcome (email tcgn@ieee.org and cc: to the
program chairs); controversial topics and outrageous viewpoints are
encouraged. Presentations will appear in the online proceedings of the
workshop, under URL http://www.comsoc.org/tcgn/conference/gbn2001.

Submission
Submission of a one page abstract is due 23 February 2001, and must
be in plain text by email to the program chair at qiao@computer.org.
Please include the text "GBN 2001 Submission" in the Subject: field.
All submissions will be quickly acknowledged (otherwise contact the
program chair to confirm receipt). Notification will be made by
19 March 2001.  Annotated electronic versions of the presentation foils
are due 9 April 2001, to be included in the online proceedings prior to
the workshop.
