COST-IST (EU)/NSF (USA) Workshop on Networking; September/October 2002, Crete, Greece

我们建议于2002年9月/10月在希腊克里特岛组织一次关于联网的COST-IST(欧盟)/NSF(美国)联合讲习班。拟议的讲习班有两个主要目标。第一个是讨论并尝试通过关注推动基本方面和原则来更多地揭示关键的、新的和即将到来的网络技术。更好的理解可以帮助更好地引导即将到来的进步，并在降低复杂性、提高性能和增强服务方面带来预期的好处。第二个主要目标是让欧洲和美国的网络社区有机会聚集在一起，亲身接触大西洋彼岸的进步和优势。大西洋两岸研究人员参与的有针对性的平衡将有助于实现这一交叉受精目标，为两个社区带来好处，并有助于推动技术进步。由于资金是主要驱动力，本研讨会的另一个目标是提供一个论坛，帮助来自欧盟和美国的赞助研讨会的资助机构确定关键和所需的网络技术，并相应地指导其资助。以欧盟和美国最优秀的研究人员为代表的关键网络领域将成为目标。拟举办的研讨会的重点可分为三大主题：互联网建模和控制覆盖网络、内容分发网络、对等宽带无线、adhoc和传感器网络、混合网络。具体重点将由参与者的构成确定。来自COST-IST和ANIR-NSF的项目官员预计将参加研讨会。总研讨会主席是雅典大学的Ioannis Stavrakakis。项目联合主席是Ioannis Stavrakakis、Ibrahim Matta(PI)和Michael Smirnov(Fraunhofer FOKUS，德国)。易卜拉欣·马塔将处理NSF的资金，迈克尔·斯米尔诺夫将处理研讨会的成本资金。研讨会结束后，组委会将向COST-IST(欧盟)和ANIR-NSF(美国)提交一份报告，并将通过研讨会网站向与会者和其他人公开提供报告。

We propose to organize a joint COST-IST (EU) / NSF (USA) workshop on Networking in September/October 2002, in Crete, Greece. There are two main objectives for the proposed workshop. The first is to discuss and try to shed some more light into key, new and upcoming networking technologies by focusing on the driving fundamental aspects and principles. A better understanding could help better steer the upcoming advancements with the expected benefits in reduced complexity, improved performance and enhanced services. The second main objective is to give the opportunity to the networking communities in Europe and USA to get together and have a first-hand exposure to the advancements and strengths in the other side of the Atlantic. The targeted balance in the participation of researchers from the two sides of the Atlantic will help achieve this cross-fertilization objective, bring the benefits to both communities and help advance the technology. As funding is a major driving force, another objective of this workshop is to provide a forum that could help the workshop-sponsoring funding agencies from the EU and USA identify the key and required networking technologies and direct their funding accordingly. Key networking areas represented by the best researchers from EU and USA will be targeted. The focus of the proposed workshop may be divided into three broad themes: Internet Modeling and Control Overlay Networks, Content Distribution Networks, Peer-to-Peer Broadband Wireless, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks, Hybrid Networks The precise focus will be determined by the makeup of the participants. Program officers from COST-IST and ANIR-NSF are expected to attend the workshop. The General Workshop Chair is Ioannis Stavrakakis, University of Athens. The Program Co-chairs are Ioannis Stavrakakis, Ibrahim Matta (the PI) and Michael Smirnov (Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany). Ibrahim Matta will handle the NSF funding and Michael Smirnov will handle the COST funding for the workshop. After the conclusion of the workshop, the organizing committee will furnish a report to the COST-IST (EU) and ANIR-NSF (USA), and will make it publicly available to participants an others via the workshop site.
