DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2001

Next week, the 2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR 2001) will take place in Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas, Irving, Texas during May 29-31, 2001.

The workshop includes presentations on original research in three parallel tracts and a day of tutorials. Starting originally from ATM networking, the workshop has been continually extending its focus to switching and routing aspects of IP, optical networks, and wireless communications. The purpose of the workshop is to share research results, experiences, and ideas among researchers, developers, and service providers in the field of data, voice and multimedia communications using ATM, IP, and other high-speed switching and routing technologies.

Topics of interest include ATM networks, Optical networks, Gigabit/terabit routers, ATM/IP integration, IP/WDM integration, MPLS, Routing and signaling protocols, Traffic engineering and control, Quality of service, Performance measurement and evaluation, Network management and operations, and Tariffing, accounting, and charging.

It is officially sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). For more information, visit the HPSR 2001 Web site at (http://www.seas.smu.edu/~tchen/hpsr/>.

The workshop attracts engineers, scientists, academia, international optical and IP centric companies. Keynote speakers will include Niel Ransom, CTO of Alcatel USA; Ross Callon of Juniper Networks, and David Smith of Movaz Networks.
