HPSR 2016 - IEEE International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR 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
