CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE 17th International Conference on
High Performance Switching and Routing
(IEEE HPSR 2016)

Yokohama, Japan

Conference date: June 14-17, 2016
Paper submission due (extended): February 27, 2016

The 2016 IEEE 17th International Conference on High Performance Switching
and Routing (HPSR-2016) will be held at Keio University, Hiyoshi campus,
Yokohama, Japan from June 14 to 17, 2016. The conference is sponsored
by the IEEE Communications Society and the IEICE Communications Society.
This conference will be co-located with 12th International Conference
on IP+Optical Network(iPOP).

Keio University is the oldest private university in Japan. Yokohama is a major
port city on the south of Tokyo. Past HPSR events were held in Heidelberg (2000),
Dallas (2001), Kobe (2002), Torino (2003), Arizona (2004), Hong Kong (2005),
Poznan (2006), New York (2007), Shanghai (2008), Paris (2009), Dallas (2010),
Cartagena (2011), Belgrade (2012), Taipei (2013), Vancouver (2014),
and Budapest (2015).

IEEE HPSR will address numerous challenges of today's data networks,
which are being subject to significant changes driven by cloud computing,
Internet of things and other new concepts. As a result, new technologies are needed
to efficiently and effectively cope with the resulting traffic demands. It is
important that researchers gather to share their ideas and progress
in solving these future challenges that the Internet as a whole is facing.
Most notably, these challenges include narrowing the digital-divide between
industrialized and developing countries, offering to the latter all the advantages
that come with access to high-speed Internet and the services it provides; handling
the bandwidth and delay requirements of multimedia services, P2P, and
cloud computing applications; deploying IPv6 and providing smooth migration
from IPv4; deploying large datacenters and enhancing their switching capabilities;
and achieving high energy efficiency in switching and routing equipment.
These are only some of the factors that are driving the demand for switching and
routing capabilities that are more intelligent, efficient, and reliable than
ever before. Examples of research areas considered in IEEE HPSR 2016 include:

Architectures of high-performance switches and routers
High-speed packet processors
Address lookup algorithms
Packet classification, scheduling, and dropping
Switching, bridging, and routing protocols
Latency and buffer control
Multicasting
P2P routing
Routing in wireless, mobile and sensor networks
Optical switching and routing
Switching, bridging, and routing for datacenters and cloud applications
Software defined networking
Data placement and migration
Multiprocessor networks
Network management
Pricing, accounting, and charging
QoS and scalability of switching, bridging, and routing
Traffic characterization and engineering
Power-aware switching, bridging, and routing protocols
Network security

Paper submission guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and should
not be under review elsewhere at the same time. Accepted papers should not
exceed 6 pages in the two-column IEEE Transactions style. Accepted papers longer than
6 pages will be charged $100 for each extra page (it may be paid in Japanese Yen).
Papers cannot be longer than 8 pages. Poster papers are limited to 2 pages in
the two-column IEEE Conference style. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through
the EDAS system (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21459).
All submitted papers will be subject to a minimum of three independent reviews.

Paper submission: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21459

Note: To be published in the IEEE HPSR 2016 Conference Proceedings and
to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplorer, an author of an accepted paper
is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member)
rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the
conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter
arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present
and answer questions. One full registration is valid for up to 2 papers.
