TERENA Networking Conference 2002 Limerick, Ireland 3 - 6 June 2002 "Networks for Collaboration" The international research community was the first to create and deploy modern computer-based communication technologies, and to develop and use networked applications. The first wave of this development resulted in the sharing of computer processing power (remote login), computerised data (file transfer) and interpersonal messages (email). The second wave, which was triggered by the Web revolution, produced a dramatic improvement in the sharing of information that is presented ready for consumption by human beings. The next wave will propel us into a new dimension where high-end computer processing power, raw data and refined information, complex applications and more generally all types of computer-based resources will be shared seamlessly, even though they are distributed all over the world and managed by many different organisations. And what is more, all this will be available to the user anytime anywhere and just like at his own desk. This new paradigm of networking by and for collaboration between computer-based resources and collaboration between human beings requires new concepts, robust and fast underlying networking infrastructures, advanced middleware, sophisticated software technologies and new application models. The TERENA Networking Conference 2002 will feature the multiple facets of this third phase of the computer networking revolution. It will present the Grid computing concept, which enables the integrated, collaborative use of high-end computers, networks, databases and scientific instruments. The conference will also address the underlying networking technologies: optical transmission and switching, convergence to IP, generalised MPLS, IP version 6, high-speed line and wireless access. And it will cover the complementary technologies: distributed databases, authentication and pro-active security, the peer-to-peer model, end-to-end quality of service. Recent advances in middleware will be a main topic in the conference. Finally, the conference will discuss the resulting services and benefits that will be available to users and in particular researchers and students: security, mobility, ubiquity and location independence. The TERENA Networking Conferences are prominent annual events, offering an opportunity to present and discuss technical and strategic aspects of the provision of networks and services to the research and education community, and the corresponding research and development activities. They bring together leading figures from the research networking community in Europe and world-wide, and provide a unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments and plans. The TERENA Networking Conference 2002 will be structured around keynote presentations and invited talks, complemented by presentations of reviewed papers and panel discussions. Subject Areas for the Conference -------------------------------- Topics for the conference will include: - Grid computing Programming models, performance, protocols, remote data access, scheduling, security, account management, user services, applications. - Advanced networking technologies and protocols Photonic transmission and lambda switching, advanced routing, generalised MPLS, IPv6 deployment and experience, Quality of Service, line and wireless access, end-to-end performance. - Data-oriented technologies Peer-to-peer models, distributed databases, metadata applications and supporting technologies, content-based retrieval. - Middleware and security Public Key Infrastructure, directories, pro-active security and incident handling. Paper submission ---------------- Papers are invited on all subjects relevant to the spirit and objectives of the Conference; to present, discuss and learn about the latest developments in networking technology for the Research and Education community. The above topics are an indication of the planned scope of the Conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. All papers must be submitted in English, the official language of the conference. Full papers (maximum 4,000 words) should be structured and submitted according to the "Formatting Guidelines and Submission Instructions for Authors", which are available from the TERENA Secretariat or from the TERENA Web server at: http://www.terena.nl/tnc2002/guidelines.html The deadline for paper submissions is 15 November 2001 Closer to the date of the conference, TERENA will issue a Call for Short Papers to provide an opportunity to present late-breaking news in sessions dedicated to recent results in the development and deployment of networking infrastructures, services and applications. Publications ------------ All accepted papers will be presented at the conference. Abstracts of the presentations will be published in a booklet and distributed to participants at the conference. After the conference all presented papers will be made available on the TERENA Web server, and selected papers, chosen by the Programme Committee, may be published in a special issue of a recognised international journal. Tutorials and Demonstrations ---------------------------- Participants from industry and academia will have the opportunity to present new network applications in the form of demonstrations. An exhibition area will be available for conference sponsors. TERENA also plans on tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. Proposals for demonstrations and tutorials should be documented by a description not exceeding one page and sent by email before 15 November 2001 to: tnc-2002@terena.nl . Meetings held in conjunction with the Conference ------------------------------------------------ Some projects associated with TERENA will organise open workshops in conjunction with the TERENA Networking Conference, to present their latest results and the ongoing work and to receive feedback from the research networking community. In addition, TERENA Task Forces and participants in TERENA projects will hold meetings during the conference week to discuss their latest results. There will also be opportunities for informal "Birds of a Feather" sessions. In general, these meetings will be open to all. Conference venue ---------------- The TERENA Networking Conference 2002 will be held in Limerick, a historical trade, industry and harbour city in the South-West of Ireland. Monuments in the city reflect its history of more than a thousand years. Limerick is also a good starting point for excursions to, for example, the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Kilkee on the Atlantic coast. The conference venue will be the University Concert Hall located on the beautiful campus of the University of Limerick, just outside the city. Accommodation for participants will be available on campus. Shannon Airport, located 22 kilometres from the city, is served by frequent direct flights from many major airports in Europe and North America. Important dates --------------- 15 November 2001: Full manuscripts due 15 November 2001: Proposals for demonstrations and tutorials due 10 January 2002: Notification of acceptance of papers, tutorials and demonstrations 29 March 2002: Summaries and final papers due 3-6 June 2002: TERENA Networking Conference 2002 Contacts -------- The TERENA Networking Conference 2002 is organised by TERENA, the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association, and will be hosted by HEAnet Ltd., Ireland's National Education and Research Network.
