Workshop Overview:
The rapid expansion of
networking applications and data traffic are leading to new specialized network
component designs that would keep up with the growing field of networking and
communications. Network component design becomes more challenging as the
performance and usage of communication networks increase. This workshop focuses
on the architectural design approaches for packet-switched networks. From
sensor to storage area networks, packet-switched networks are utilized in a
wide range of system domains. Furthermore, the workshop aims at providing a
forum for scientists and engineers from academia and industry to discuss their
latest research on emerging network services.
There is a growing interest
in extensible networks, overlay networks, and grid computing. Higher layer
processing built in hardware can powerfully support these networks and
computational styles. This year’s workshop will be looking for contributions
that will benefit these communities.
Submission Topics:
Topics of particular
interest include, but are not limited to:
-
Switch and router
architectures (including optical and fiber channel networks)
-
Communications
and network processors
-
Co-processors
(classification, search engine, traffic manager, etc.)
-
Specialized
offload engines (protocol offload engines, I/O adapters, etc.)
-
Architectures
for security applications
-
Architectures
for processor-memory interconnection
-
Hardware
accelerators for emerging network services (overlay, extensible, grid
computing, etc.)
-
Application-specific
designs (compression, QoS, etc.)
-
Power-efficient
architectures
-
High-level
software for networking hardware
