IFIP Sixth International Workshop on
	    Protocols For High-Speed Networks (PfHSN '99)

	     Wednesday August 25 - Friday August 27, 1999
			      Salem, MA

		     http://www.isi.edu/pfhsn99/

		    Sponsored by IFIP WG6.1/WG6.4
		     Technical co-sponsorship by the 
IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking

SCOPE 

The purpose of this workshop is to provide an international forum for
the exchange of information on protocols for high-speed networks.  The
workshop will additionally focus this year on high-speed and
high-performance optical, active, and wireless networks.  Original
research contributions are solicited.  Areas of interest include, but
are not limited to, the high-performance (high-bandwidth/low-latency)
aspects of:

          o  Protocol development 
          o  Protocol analysis 
          o  High-performance architectures 
          o  Implementation of high-speed protocols 
          o  Experimental studies 
          o  Application-oriented issues 
          o  Application controlled communication systems 
          o  Protocols for distributed multimedia applications 
          o  Protocol implementation tools 

In the past, the workshop has been small (60 to 80 researchers). As a
result, a considerable about of time is devoted to informal
discussion.  This year workshop will be limited to 100 participants.

INFORMATION TO CONTRIBUTORS

original contributions (not exceeding 12 pages single spaced) which
