Overview:
=========
HPN2008, the International Workshop on High Performance Network, will
be held from 18 to 20, Oct. 2008. Shanghai is China's largest city.
HPN2008 serves as a forum for researchers and engineers to discuss
current challenges in high performance network and to present recent
work and research results.

Current network communications face the challenges of the limited
network resources, ever-increasing traffic,etc. The continuous
technological advances are expected to make network performance better.
This workshop will focus on various aspects of high performance network.
For instance, network coding hasemerged as an active research area
which reveals that packets traversing a network can be combined and
mixed rather than merely forwarded.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
===================================================
Network coding
* Network information theory
* Routers/switches and routing protocols
* Wireless network coding

High-speed transport protocols
* Terabits network provisioning
* Ultra high-speed traffic engineering/resource management
* Control and management planes
* Re-configurable infrastructure

High performance network applications
* Novel applications over terabit networks
* Large-scale peer-to-peer systems
* Interactive media services


Paper submission:
=================
Submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be currently under
review for any other journal or conference publication.Papers must be
clearly presented in English, must not exceed 8 pages. We recommend
