The Workshop will be held in the Lecture Hall 5 of the new Engineering/Computer Science Building on the UMBC Campus. The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts in related areas to discuss progress and research issues in the design and implementation of very high speed (gigabit rates) communication networks. Each of previous workshops attracted approximately 165 researchers representing academia, industry and government. The three day meeting will include invited speakers and some contributed presentations. Selected papers will appear in a special issue of the "Journal of High Speed Networks." A $135.00 registration fee will include three lunches, a proceedings and conference materials. Please return the attached pre-registration form as soon as possible to reserve space. If additional information is needed, please contact the workshop organizer, Prof. Deepinder Sidhu, at sidhu@umbc3.umbc.edu, 410-455-3028 (voice), 410-455-3969 (fax). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th Maryland Workshop on Very High Speed Networks Registration Form Name: __________________________________________________ Affiliation: __________________________________________________ Address: __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Phone: ____________ Fax: ___________ E-mail ___________ Dietary Restriction: Vegetarian ___________ Kosher ___________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make checks payable to the VHSN 4.
