ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS 1994 USENIX SYMPOSIUM ON HIGH-SPEED NETWORKING August 1-2, 1994 Claremont Hotel & Resort Oakland, California IMPORTANT DATES DATES FOR REFEREED PAPER SUBMISSIONS Extended abstracts due: May 2, 1994 Notification to authors: May 16, 1994 Camera-ready final papers due: June 20, 1994 Registration Materials Available: June 1994 SYMPOSIUM SCHEDULE Monday, August 1 Keynote address, followed by technical sessions Reception Birds-of-a-Feather sessions Tuesday, August 2 Technical sessions Field Trip Wednesday, August 3 Join us for visits to two high-speed networking testbeds, XUNET/BLANCA and CalREN, in Berkeley. High-speed, high-capacity networks promise to change profoundly the way we compute. Fast, wide-area networks pose fresh challenges even for mature operating systems, such as UNIX. How will these innovations shape the design of future UNIX systems? Can we devise applications that fully (and productively) consume the bandwidth at our disposal? The goals of this symposium are to encourage the UNIX and high-speed networking communities to commingle, to examine the issues and trends in high-speed networking, and to explore the impact of high-speed networks on systems and applications design. The single-track symposium offers two days of technical presentations (followed by field trips on the third day). Formally reviewed papers will be presented and published in the Symposium Proceedings. A copy of the Proceedings will be distributed to all attendees; additional copies may be purchased from the USENIX Association. SYMPOSIUM TOPICS We seek presentations of original work on these (and related) topics: + Network architectures + Operating system support for high-speed networks + Protocols + Performance + Network management + Applications + Practical experiences REFEREED PAPER SUBMISSIONS If you are interested in presenting your work at the symposium, please submit an extended abstract as described below. The extended abstract should represent the final paper in "short form." Its object is to persuade the Program Committee that you will deliver a good 20-25 minute presentation and final paper. The Committee needs to know that authors: - are tackling a significant problem. - are familiar with the current literature about the problem. - have devised an original solution. - have implemented the solution and, if appropriate, have characterized its performance. - have drawn appropriate conclusions about what they have learned and why it is important. Note that the Program Committee considers it unethical to submit the same paper simultaneously to more than one conference or publication, or to submit a paper that has been or will be published elsewhere, without disclosing this information with the submission. If your paper is accepted, you are expected to provide a full paper in camera-ready form for publication in the Proceedings and to present your work at the Symposium. HOW TO SUBMIT A typical extended abstract is roughly 2500 words (5 pages). Indicate clearly whether the paper represents a design, an implementation or a system that is in wide use. You are encouraged to include references. Supporting material may be in note or outline form. If you wish, you may supplement the extended abstract with a copy of a full paper. Please submit one copy of an extended abstract using at least two of the following methods: + E-mail (preferred method) to: net94papers () usenix org + Mail to: Pat Parseghian, Program Chair, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Room 2C-472, 600 Mountain Avenue, PO Box 636, Murray Hill NJ USA 07974-0636 + FAX to: Pat Parseghian +1 (908) 582-5857 Please, with your submission, include the following information about the author(s): - Name (indicate which author will serve as the contact) - Affiliation - Daytime telephone - Postal address - E-mail address - FAX number FOR MORE PROGRAM INFORMATION Refer questions about refereed paper submissions and other program concerns to the Program Chair: Pat Parseghian Telephone: +1 (908) 582-4229 E-mail: pep () research att com FOR REGISTRATION INFORMATION Materials containing full details of the symposium program, symposium registration fees and forms, and hotel discount and reservation information will be available early June 1994.
