IEEE HPSR 2021 Call For Papers 

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services are key technologies to enable autonomous networks. These networks are designed to operate with minimal or no human intervention and be able to self-configure, self-monitor, and maintain itself independently during their operation.

Network technology breakthroughs have been driving users’ expectations on better services, which in turn increases management complexity for network providers. Under the ever-increasing complexity of network operation and management, fully-automated or autonomous networks may be the answer. From this perspective, networks must become smarter, more agile, and more responsive. However, to achieve this, autonomous networks must rely on dynamic connections, big data, machine learning, embedded sensors, and significant computing and storing capabilities that provide a level of awareness and control.

The main focus of HPSR 2021 – the 22nd edition of HPSR conference – will be to assess how breakthrough changes occurring to networks and telecom are affecting areas related to switching and routing, and communication networks in general. We are soliciting original and thought-provoking works on big-data, data-analytics, cloud services, and machine-learning techniques applied to networking and switching and routing. Works on autonomous networks, 5G, IoT, Industry 4.0, social networks, network, cybersecurity, virtualization, and other advanced topics are also welcome.

Research works on the following topics, but not limited to, are welcome for submission through the following symposia:

  • Switching support to Extended reality (including virtual, augmented, and mixed reality)
  • Routing and resource allocation for Tactile Internet
  • High-speed packet processors
  • Address lookup algorithms, packet classification, scheduling, and dropping
  • Efficient data structures for networking applications
  • Switching, bridging, and routing protocols whether wide-area or data centers
