Call For Paper
2002 Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR2002)
Merging Optical and IP Technologies
May 26-29, 2002
Kobe, Hyogo, Japan


Sponsored by the IEICE (Communications Society)
Technical co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society
Supported by TTC (Japan) in cooperation with Technical Committees on
Information Networks and Network Systems of the IEICE
http://www.ieice.org/hpsr2002/


The emerging dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) has caused 
tremendous increase in the speed of data transmission during the past
few years. The explosion of Internet traffic has led to a greater need
for high-speed switches and routers. In addition, the switches and
routers are required to provide quality-of-service (QoS) support, e.g.,
differentiated services (DS), where packets are classified into several
priority levels and are managed differently. The scope of the workshops
has been continually expanding to switching and routing aspects of IP,
optical networks, and wireless communications. The 2002 Workshop will
include presentations on original research in two parallel tracts and a
day of tutorials.


Submitted papers will undergo three independent reviews, and accepted
papers will appear in the conference proceedings. Original papers are
invited on such topics as (but not limited):


- High-speed Internet Backbone
- IP/WDM integration
- ATM networks
- Optical networks
- Next Generation Mobile Network
- Gigabit/terabit routers
- ATM/IP integration
- MPLS and GMPLS
- Programmable networks
- 3G/4G network evolution
- Routing and signaling protocols
- Traffic engineering and control
- Quality of service
- Performance measurement and evaluation
- Terminals
- Network management and operations
- Tariffing, accounting, and charging
