点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This proposal seeks to conduct a workshop on the subject of "next generation networking." The target audience for the workshop is the "next tier" of institutions beyond those that NSF presently serves via its High Performance Connections Program. Issues for this community include: how to plan for advanced high performance networking, how to budget for and finance same, how to prepare technologically, and how to identify needs and requirements. The workshop will involve networking experts together with representatives from "next tier" institutions in analyzing these questions. A report will be produced for public consumption and for NSF to use in planning for future network infrastructure programs.
