CALL FOR PAPERS

HOT INTERCONNECTS 9
A Symposium on High Performance Interconnects

Memorial Auditorium, Stanford University, Aug. 22-24, 2001

(Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society)

http://www.hoti.org

Hot Interconnects is an international symposium focusing on the hardware 
and software architecture and implementation of high-performance 
interconnects of all scales. Its themes include cross-cutting issues 
spanning computer systems and networking technologies for providing 
universal services over packet networks. Examples of relevant topics 
include network-attached storage, transport of voice and video over 
packet networks, high-performance network interfaces, novel switching 
and routing technologies capable of providing differentiated services, 
plug-and-play network interfaces, and active network architectures. The 
conference is directed particularly at new and exciting product and 
technology innovations in these areas. Contributions should focus on 
real products, prototypes, or experimental systems and their performance 
evaluation. In addition to those subscribing to the main theme of the 
conference, contributions are also solicited on the following topics:

- Gb/sec and Tb/sec switching and routing technologies
- High-speed packet processing engines
- Serial link technologies
- xDSL, HFC, and wireless access technologies
- Mobility-enabling technologies
- Seamless appliance interconnectivity
- Network-attached storage devices and interfaces
- Video and voice over packet networks
- Wireless and mobile network interfaces
- Network security
- Next-generation networking chip sets
- Network protocols on a chip
- Low-power networking and interconnect technologies
- Network appliance technologies
- Optical Interconnects

Submission Guidelines:
---------------------------------
Submissions must be in the form of extended summaries and should not 
exceed 5 pages (double-column format). The summary should have 
sufficient technical detail to judge its quality and suitability for 
presentation at the conference. Guidelines for submission are available 
at http://www.hoti.org.
Inquires about the conference should be directed to the TPC chairs.
