ICCCN is a major international conference for the presentation
of original and fundamental advances in the field of Computer
Communications and Networks. It also serves to foster
communication among researchers and practitioners working in
a wide variety of scientific areas with a common interest in
improving Computer Communications and Networks.
The primary focus of the conference is on new and original
research results in the areas of design, implementation and
applications of Computer Communications and Networks.

PANEL SESSION: October 9, 2006 Monday 15:30 – 17:00:
Title: When Optical Networking Meets Grid Computing?
Moderator: Wu-chun Feng, Virginia Tech
Panelists: - Mark K. Gardner, Virginia Tech;
- Gigi Karmous-Edwards, MCNC;
- Jerry Sobieski, Mid-Atlantic Crossroads & U. Maryland;
- Malathi Veeraraghavan, U. Virginia
Panel Abstract:
High-speed optical networking infrastructures such as National
LambdaRail promise to revolutionize the way that we approach grid
computing. With optical-fiber speeds doubling every 9 months and
computing speeds doubling only every 18-24 months over the past
few decades, we have finally reached a crossroads where network
speeds have outstripped the ability of processors to keep up. Thus,
we may be entering a new world where the central architectural
element in grid computing is the optical network, not the end-host
computer(s). The goal of this panel is to discuss whether such a
new world is emerging, and if so, what the research challenges
will be.
