Call For Contributions (Reference)

Hot Interconnects is an international symposium focusing on the hardware and software architecture and implementation of high-performance interconnects of all scales. The theme of this yearís conference will be on the cross-cutting issues spanning computer systems and networking technologies for providing universal services over packet networks. Example 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 in the following topics:

Gb/sec and Tb/sec switching and routing technologies
High-speed packet processing engines
High speed serial link technologies
xDSL, HFC, and wireless access technologies
Mobility-enabling technologies
