CALL FOR PAPERS

2005 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR 2005)

 

May 12-14, 2005
Hong Kong, China

Technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society

Phenomenal growth in Internet traffic has moved the Internet from a
convenience to a mission-critical platform. The advent of broadband access
for end-users has raised expectations for IP performance and reliability. As
a result, there is a great demand for Gigabit/Terabit electronic/optical
routers and switches. These switches/routers must not only have an aggregate
Gigabits/Terabits capacity, but should also be coupled with forwarding rates
of billions of packets per second, quality guarantees for differentiated
services, a wide variety of interface types, scalability in terms of capacity
and port density, and backward compatibility with a wide range of packet
formats and routing protocols. The scope of the High Performance Switching
and Routing (HPSR) Workshop is focused on the technology of high-speed
switches and routers, including the architectural and algorithmic aspects of
high-speed IP networks, possibly adopting optical technologies and wireless
user accesses. HPSR 2005 will include technical sessions for the presentation
of novel research results, panel sessions for the discussion of hot topics,
and tutorials presented by leading international experts.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- High performance switch and router architectures:
         Analysis and simulation,
         Electronic and optical switching fabrics,
         Field trials,
         Impact of higher layer protocols and services,
         Implementations,
         Measurements,
         Prototypes,
         System development
- Routing Protocols
- IP over Optical Networks
