Purpose and Format

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing very recent work in gigabit networking and publishing it in a timely manner. The workshop will consist of short presentations and discussions of current work in high bandwidth networking, as well as longer discussion sessions.

End-to-end issues including transport and higher layer protocols, host and network interface architecture, operating systems, emerging applications, deployment and management of large networks, economic and regulatory issues, security and privacy, and other societal impacts are of particular interest.

The workshop will take place from 8:30 AM until 3:00 PM with lunch provided. There will be an open business meeting of the Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking following the workshop at 3:00 PM.

Suggestions for the discussion sessions (especially the afternoon) are solicited (email to giga@tele.pitt.edu and Cc: to jpgs@ieee.org), but will also be welcome at the workshop. Controversial topics and outrageous viewpoints are encouraged. A summary of the workshop discussions will appear in IEEE Network Magazine.
