Investigators

Abstract

The 2001 International Working Conference on Active Networking (IWAN) will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from September 30, October 2nd, 2001. This conference is the pre-mier international workshop in the emerging field of active and programmable networking. This proposal requests funding to assist fourteen United States-based graduate students in attending this meeting. Participation in workshops such as IWAN is an extremely important part of the gradu-ate school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and be exposed to leading edge work in the field. In addition, IWAN offers the opportunity to interact with international researchers in this area, as both the presenters and the attendees have had strong European and Asian presences. The support requested in this proposal will enable the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend IWAN 2001.
