Related Workshops

The contents of this workshops overlap with the following three workshops with varying degrees but are different in their focus and objectives:

High-Performance Network Planning Workshop, August 13-15, 2002

This workshop was organized by Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy. A comprehensive report on various aspects of High-Performance Networks for High-Impact Science was produced based on this workshop. This report dicusses various networking aspects together with middleware, testbeds and various application requirements.
The current workshop focusses on a subset of the topics addressed above, namely transport and provisiong. In each of these topics, the discussion is significantly more in-depth.

First International Workshop on Protocols for Fast Long-Distance Networks, February 3-4, 2003, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

This workshop is more of an open forum with a research focus. It contained presentations by a number of researchers working in this area. The objectives of the current workshop are different: they are more focussed towards builing network capabilities that will be available at the application level to an average user. In that vien, our topics include provisioning aspects together with efforts needed to make the technology available to an average user in large-science areas.

NSF Workshop on Ultra-High-Capacity Optical Communications and Networking: Challenges in Broadband Optical Access, Materials Processing, and Manufacturing, October 21-22, 2002, Arlington, Virginia.

This workshop deals with a wide spectrum of topics in the areas of optical communications and networking from a broad scintific and engineering prespective. The workshop's final report is available at the website.



For the High Energy Physics (HEP) applications, the

Report of the Transatlantic Networking Committee

provides a good background and requirements dicussion on the transatlantic networking (although somewhat dated). Also, the following presentation by Harvey Newman is very useful
