The 2011 IEEE International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE HPSR 2011) will be held in Cartagena (Spain), in the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The goal of the 12th IEEE HPSR is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners from around the world. IEEE HPSR is focused on the technology of high-speed, high-capacity switches and routers, including architectural and algorithmic aspects of high-speed IP networks, possibly adopting optical technologies and wireless user access. Over the last editions, IEEE HPSR has evolved into an important forum of telecommunications and networking for the exchange of state-of-the-art. IEEE HPSR 2011 will comprise of technical sessions for presentations of novel results, panel sessions and tutorials presented by leading experts. The conference solicits high-quality papers reporting original work in both theoretical and experimental research areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 

  • High-performance switch and router architectures
    		•
  • Reconfigurable switching

Paper Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit original papers. Submitted papers must be unpublished, and must not be currently under review by another journal or conference. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality and relevance. Submitted papers should not exceed 6 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style (http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTemplates.html).

Accepted papers that are longer than 6 pages will be charged with an over-length fee of $100 per page for the 7th and 8th pages. No paper may be longer than 8 pages. Only PDF files will be considered for review. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE HPSR 2011 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®. Therefore, all papers must exactly fulfill the IEEE publication requirements in the final submitted version.

Papers will be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system (http://edas.info/). All submitted papers will be subject to three peer reviews. 

Tutorials

Proposals are solicited for tutorials. Please contact Nina Skorin-Kapov (nina.skorin-kapov@fer.hr) for further information.

Best Paper Award

A Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Award will be granted from a set of outstanding papers, based on the quantitative and qualitative classifications as well as comments provided by the program committee reviewers, and their oral presentation at the conference. Best Paper Award is rewarded with 600 EUR. Best Student Paper Award is rewarded with 300 EUR.

Journal Publication

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Special Issue Challenges in High-Performance Switching and Routing in the Future Internet of the Computer Networks journal published by Elsevier.
