HPPN 2013 - Workshop on High Performance and Programmable Networking

HPPN (High Performance and Programmable Networking) 2013 Workshop will provide an international forum for presenting and discussing the latest experiences and achievements in the field of programmable and high performance networking platforms. The main idea of the workshop is to share experiences and state-of-the-art advances related to using and researching with platforms like NetFPGA, GPUs, and other programmable hardware in the field of computer networks. Due the growing speed and complexity of networking services and infrastructures, there is an increasing interest in the networking research community to create faster and smarter network devices and operations for experimental purposes and for developing open network infrastructures. HPPN 2013 will explicitly consider analysis and implementation of high performance and programmable networking platforms related to very hot and challenging scenarios, such as content-centric networks (CCN), Software Defined Networks (SDN), cloud computing systems and data centers, virtual networks, and the like. HPPN 2013 will focus on theory, tools, techniques, and applications that enable the use of programmable hardware platforms to support for high performance next-generation network architectures, services, and scenarios. It explicitly asks for implementation and testing of novel open software platforms over programmable and high performance hardware (e.g., implementation and testing of Software Defined Radios, Software Defined Networks, Intrusion Detection Systems, etc. over high performance hardware platforms).
