Warm regards, /ak Kara, Akbar | Advanced Architectures Global R&D | External Research and R&E Networks E | akara(a)ciena.com<mailto:akara@ciena.com> | Dallas Texas M | +1 2143922717 [Ciena Logo]<https://www.ciena.com/?src=emailsig> ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================= The 12th Annual International Workshop on Innovating the Network for Data-Intensive Science (INDIS 2025) in conjunction with SC25 (Supercomputing) St. Louis, Missouri, USA | November 16th, 2025 The Innovating the Network for Data-Intensive Science (INDIS) workshop<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://scinet.supercomputing.org/community/ind…> [scinet.supercomputing.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://scinet.supercomputing.org/community/ind…> brings together network researchers and engineers to share findings, challenges and potential solutions in distributed computing, information systems and networking communities. With its inaugural appearance at SC14 in New Orleans, INDIS has become an academic forum for experts, researchers, and engineers in research and education (R&E) networking. The continuing evolution of advanced networks will not only require the synthesis of existing technologies but will also rely on new opportunities for novel research in both industry and academia. Several trends have developed in the scientific networking community that are expected to have a significant impact over the next 5-10 years and have the potential to bring the world closer to realizing truly Intelligent Networks. These include: * The availability of network visibility and telemetry * The role of in-network and Edge compute resources * AI for networks and networks for AI * The use of testbeds and the Cloud in advanced scientific workflows * Multi-domain integrated infrastructure with a focus on security, portability, and automation In this spirit, we invite researchers and engineers to submit high-quality technical academic papers to the 12th Annual International Workshop on Innovating the Network for Data-Intensive Science (INDIS 2025). The workshop will be held in conjunction with the SC25: IEEE/ACM International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (Supercomputing), which will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, November 16-21, 2025. We invite papers that propose new and novel techniques that increase the capacity and functionality of scientific computing and high-performance networks. This workshop encourages submissions that address one or more of the workshop topics addressing networking research challenges and developments that are essential in information systems infrastructure for the scientific discovery process. We also welcome participants from SCinet to present high-quality experimental papers on their latest designs and solutions. SCinet, as the high-speed network engine of the SC conference, represents state of the art, connects many demonstrators of big science data processing infrastructures at the highest line speeds, deploys the newest technologies available, and demonstrates network instrumentation techniques and novel functionality. The show floor network connects to many laboratories and universities worldwide using high-bandwidth connections. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 1. Network innovations: novel approaches, protocols and algorithms to meet the current and emerging requirements for data intensive applications. 2. High-performance network testbeds and simulations for parallel and distributed science experiments and workloads. 3. High-performance and large-scale network monitoring, control, and management services. 4. Software-defined networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in service of data science applications. 5. AI and machine learning algorithms for network telemetry, performance measurements, network and Input/Output (I/O) profile analytics, and high-touch solutions on network packets, flows and hardware stats to identify patterns and troubleshooting issues. 6. Compute in-network (aka edge-middleware computing platforms) and offloaded infrastructure services on programmable hardware (e.g. FPGA). 7. High-performance data streaming and memory-to-memory transfer applications and techniques. 8. Wireless and Quantum networking and testbeds. 9. End-to-end quality of service (QoS) performance and Traffic Engineering (TE) applications. 10. Multi-domain networking, including hybrid clouds and multi-domain authorization. 11. Scientific data privacy, security, integrity, provenance and sharing in multi-domain environments. Important Dates: Paper Submission due: August 1st, 2025 Notification of acceptance: September 5th, 2025 Camera-ready version: September 26th, 2025 Workshop Date: November 16th, 2025 Submission Guidelines: Papers will be published in the SC25 conference workshop proceedings upon approval. Workshop papers are expected to be 8-10 pages (including references) for full papers and 5-6 pages (including references) for short papers describing novel work in the topics of interest. Short papers that highlight early experimental testbed results and network integration breakthroughs are highly encouraged. Experiments from SCinet and the show floor are encouraged (e.g. Traveling FABRIC node). The minimum number of pages to be eligible for publication in the SC workshop proceedings is 5 pages (including references). Submissions should use the IEEE conference template and be submitted via the SC Linklings system.

Invitation to Nominate GNA-G Leadership Team (LT) member
by Alexander van den Hil 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Dear GNA-G Community member, The GNA-G Nominations Committee (NomCom) is accepting nominations for the GNA-G Leadership Team (LT) through 23:00 GMT 31 March 2025. The LT has eight vacancies. Introduction The current Leadership Team consists of six seats for co-chairs: Buseung Cho (KISTI), Harvey Newman (Caltech), David Wilde (AARnet), Ivana Golub (PSNC), and Alex Moura (KAUST) with one vacant seat left by Marco Teixeira (RedClara) last year. Alex is still in his 1st term and will continue in this role. Harvey, Ivana, and David have indicated they are willing to serve the LT for a second term. They will follow the NomCom process alongside any other nominees. This email will outline the details of that process. The GNA-G Terms of Reference (ToR) have been changed recently allowing an LT of up to nine members. For that reason, we are now filling eight vacancies. The new LT members will be elected for a 48-month (4-year) term. Anyone working in the R&E networking community is eligible to serve in the LT. The NomCom will be looking for candidates with technical competence, organizational skills, or relevant experience in guiding and setting community direction. In filling the open positions, the NomCom considers age, gender, geographical location as well as R&E networking experience to ensure that the global community is well represented on the LT. What does it mean to be an LT member? The LT looks after the long-term evolution of the networking layer of the Global R&E Network (GREN) and provides oversight to the GNA-G Working Groups. The LT also manages the GNA-G website and consults with the Executive Liaison from time to time. For more information see https://www.gna-g.net/about-us/. The LT meets by VC on a regular basis, to discuss progress, issues, and community meetings. Due to the global nature of the GREN, the work in GNA-G means a VC out of office hours, due to time zones. Also, the full GNA-G Community meets every now and then to discuss developments and next steps at global events as much as possible, which may involve occasional intercontinental travel. There is no reimbursement for serving on the LT, as this is deemed a community service supported by your home organization. How to get nominated? Any member of the GNA-G Community may nominate any member of the GNA-G Community for the open positions; self-nomination is permitted. A nomination is only complete when supported by at least one other member from the community, from a different organization, participating in the GNA-G, than the nominee. In addition, the nominee must accept the nomination. A nomination can have two forms: 1. You can nominate someone + get a second from a member of the community + have the nominee accept the nomination; or 2. Nominate yourself + get a second from a member of the community. You must indicate why you want to join the GNA-G LT. Nominations should be sent to: nominations(a)lists.gna-g.net<mailto:nominations@lists.gna-g.net>. Accepted nominations will be made public to the GNA-G community. Nomination Timeline 1 March 2025 - Call for Nominations opens 31 March 2025 - Nominations close 10 April 2025 - Announcement of candidates by the NomCom, community feedback opens 30 April 2025 - Community Feedback closes 14 May 2025 - NomCom announces new LT members during GNA-G VC. NomCom members • Celeste Anderson (Pacific Wave) – USA • Lars Fischer (NORDUnet) – European Nordics • Alexander van den Hil (SURF) – The Netherlands • Bruno Hoeft (KIT) – Germany • Lisandro Granville (RNP) – Brazil • Francis Bu Sung Lee (SingAREN) – Singapore Should you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out to (one of) the NomCom members.
