Dear colleagues,
We invite you to submit a proposal (single presentation or full session)
for TNC16, the leading networking conference for research and education
in Europe. The theme of TNC16 is 'Building the Internet of People'. The
conference will be held from 12-16 June 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic,
organised by GÉANT and hosted by the Czech National Research and
Education Network (CESNET).
Proposals (presentation abstracts and session) can now be submitted
directly to the TNC16 website:
https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/guidelines
*
**Deadline for submission (presentation abstracts and session proposals)
is 30 November 2015.*
NOTE: In order to submit your abstract you will first have to login to
the website. The website uses federated login, which means that we do
not provide usernames/passwords any more; instead you can log in using
your own institutional account. If your institution is not listed, you
can use one of the guest providers such as Google, Yahoo!, Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn etc.
All proposals must be submitted in English, the official language of the
conference, and should be on subjects relevant to the spirit and
objectives of the conference: to present, discuss and learn about the
latest developments in networking technology and its uses in the
research and education community. The topics described below are an
indication of the scope of the conference, but are not meant to be
restrictive.
*Building the Internet of People*
>From the start of the Internet, well over 30 years ago, NRENs have been
in the business of building network infrastructure, not only to connect
campuses to each other and to the rest of the internet, but also to
connect people belonging to many different communities worldwide. Not
only do NRENs provide the basic network infrastructure on which research
and education, big science and big data are built, they also address the
requirements of ever-increasing and diverse communities of end users in
areas as diverse as trust, security, identity, and a wide range of tools
for collaboration.
With the TNC16 Call for Proposals we invite you to explore the
challenges that the research and education networking community faces
while continuing to build the internet of people. Submissions are sought
for a single presentation or a full session that attempt to answer, but
are not limited to answering questions such as:
* What is needed to further satisfy the changing research and
education user needs?
* How can NRENs best cope with the changing landscape of funding and
security requirements?
* What roles in the area of cloud services are, and are not,
suitable for an NREN?
* How can developed and developing NRENs more closely collaborate
with each other, on a regional, European and global scale?
* Which advances in technology are hot, and relevant for the NRENs,
in 2016 and beyond?
*Other ways to participate*
* *Meeting proposa*l - If you wish to organise a meeting or workshop
immediately before, after or around TNC16, please contact
<tnc16(a)lists.geant.org> before 15 January 2016.
* * Lightning talks* (Round 1) – midnight CET, 12 February 2016 -
Please indicate on your single presentation submission if it could
