Protocols for High-Speed Networks

PfHSN is a successful series of workshops providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on protocols for high speed networks. The PfHSN 2002 workshop in Berlin follows the PfHSN'99 event held in Salem, Massachusetts. Among previous locations were Sophia Antipolis, France, and Vancouver, Canada.

SCOPE

PfHSN is a successful series of workshops providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on protocols for high speed networks. The PfHSN'2002 workshop in Berlin follows the PfHSN'99 event held in Salem, Massachusetts. Among previous locations were Sophia Antipolis, France, and Vancouver, Canada. (Links on the history of PfHSN are given here.)
In addition to protocols and implementation techniques for high speed networks, the workshop will focus this year on high-speed and high-performance optical, active, and wireless networks. Original research contributions are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the high-performance (high-bandwidth/low-latency) aspects of:

Protocol development
Protocol analysis
High-performance architectures
Implementation of high-speed protocols
Maintaining QoS at high speeds
Experimental studies
Application-oriented issues
Application controlled communication systems
Protocols for distributed multimedia and peer-to-peer applications
Protocol implementation tools
Fast lookup and classification
Programmable hardware in support of high speed protocols
High speed active network architecture
Network processors
High performance middlebox communication (firewalling etc.)
High speed measurements
Optical network protocols

In the past, the workshop has been small (50 to 80 researchers). As a result, a considerable about of time is devoted to informal discussion. This year workshop will be limited to 120 participants.

VENUE

The workshop will be held in Berlin, Germany. The workshop will be held within the conference facilities of the building of Fraunhofer FOKUS and Deutsche Telekom - T-Systems Nova. Directions are given here.

Dinner

A dinner will be organized at the evening of the first day, in the restaurant on the roof of the Reichstag financed with support of the workshop sponsor Siemens.

SOCIAL EVENT

A social event (boat trip) be organized at the evening of the second day.

HOTELS

There are several hotels which offer special prices for PfHSN 2002 conference participants. These offers are limited in time.

In addition selected hotels at various rates are proposed within a short distance of the workshop venue.

INTERNET ACCESS

PfHSN2002 offers the following options for the Internet access during the event

wired access to the Internet via FOKUS-Infrastructure through Ethernet-Hubs notebook with Ethernet adapter required
wireless access to the Internet via FOKUS-Infrastructure through wireless LAN-Adapters

For on-site Internet access through FOKUS, all notebooks must be configured to use DHCP. Technical assistance will be provided on location. For wireless access, a limited number of adapters will be available. Participants can use their Wave-LAN compatible adapters (IEEE 802.11b) for wireless access and must use their own Ethernet adapters for cable based access. All cables will be provided.

PfHSN LIVE TRANSMISSION

Cameras and streaming tools were operated within the conference facilities. PfHSN2002 was transmitted live over the Internet. In addition the sessions were recorded. Please find them on the program page.
