Network-I/O Convergence: Experience, Lessons, Implications (NICELI)
The performance and commodity price advantages of modern
LANs have created a convergence of networks and I/O,
promising price efficiencies and true interoperability, for
storage and for cluster interconnect. The NICELI workshop
provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to
discuss the merits, drawbacks, applications, and practical
implications of protocol and implementation designs.
Three sessions of papers
cover the promises and realities of
network-I/O convergence; storage-specific protocols; and
novel approaches. NICELI also includes
two invited talks,
by
David Cheriton (Stanford) and Wu-chun Feng (Los Alamos and
Ohio State).
You will find the NICELI workshop of particular interest if you work
on systems or applications involving high speed I/O, or are
interested in research in I/O and networking convergence.
