Workshop on
Network-I/O Convergence:
Experience, Lessons, Implications (NICELI)

Karlsruhe, Germany, August 27, 2003
In conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2003

Network-I/O Convergence: Experience, Lessons, Implications (NICELI)

The performance and commodity price advantages of modern LANs have created a convergence of networks and I/O, promising price efficiencies and true interoperability, for storage and for cluster interconnect. The NICELI workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the merits, drawbacks, applications, and practical implications of protocol and implementation designs. Three sessions of papers cover the promises and realities of network-I/O convergence; storage-specific protocols; and novel approaches. NICELI also includes two invited talks, by David Cheriton (Stanford) and Wu-chun Feng (Los Alamos and Ohio State).

You will find the NICELI workshop of particular interest if you work on systems or applications involving high speed I/O, or are interested in research in I/O and networking convergence.
