All,

On the behalf of the organizing committee of the second workshop on RDMA: Applications, Implementations, and Technologies (RAIT 2005), we would like the people working in RDDP WG to participate in RAIT 2005 workshop. You can participate by submitting a paper and/or attending the workshop. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the prestigious IEEE Cluster 2005 conference (http://cluster2005.org) in Boston, MA on September 30, 2005. 

A detailed call for papers for the workshop is provided below in the text format. The workshop CFP in html format is attached with this email.

We are looking forward to participation from people working in RDDP WG.

Sincerely,

Hemal Shah, Program co-chair
Jim Pinkerton, Program co-chair 


     
Second Workshop on Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA): Applications, Implementations, and Technologies (RAIT 2005)

			To be held on Sept 30th, 2005, in Boston (MA, USA),
			in conjunction with the Cluster 2005 conference.
			Burlington Marriott, Burlington, MA, USA.


Call for papers
---------------

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) enables transfer of data across a network directly to and from application buffers without requiring any intermediate copies or buffers. RDMA, along with direct access to the networking hardware, also provides a low overhead mechanism for achieving low latency, high-bandwidth communication. RDMA has become a desirable feature in high-speed clusters and data-center networks. 

Scope
-----
The RAIT 2005 workshop is the second time that the RAIT workshop has been held. RAIT 2005 is intended to serve as a forum to present the latest research work by the researchers and developers from both academia and industry. The workshop focuses on the applications of RDMA, the implementation aspects of RDMA, and the RDMA technologies based on the standards (RDMA over TCP/IP, InfiniBand, Virtual Interface Architecture, etc.). 
 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 
·        RDMA hardware (RDMA-enabled NICs, InfiniBand adapters, VI NICs, or other adapters)
·        RDMA-aware networks and interfaces
·        Middleware and network services for RDMA-based networking
·        Applications of RDMA (iSCSI/iSER, NFS, DAFS, SDP, databases, clustering, storage networking, etc.)
·        RDMA Protocols
·        Operating system infrastructure for RDMA
·        RDMA performance evaluation (application performance, performance metrics, network performance, etc.)
·        RDMA and security
·        Future directions for RDMA     


Paper Submission
----------------

We invite submissions of technical papers, position papers, and case studies relevant to the workshop. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to present the paper and register. Submission should include on the front page the authors' name, affiliations, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.

Please submit a full paper not exceeding 8 single-spaced pages in PDF or Postscript form, page-numbered, in 10-point font or larger, and suitable for printing on 8.5"x11" paper with at least 1 inch margin all around. Please submit the full paper for consideration to this workshop to Hemal Shah ([email protected]) and James Pinkerton ([email protected]) by email.  


Important dates
---------------
  
Deadline for submission                          May 24, 2005                 
Notification of acceptance                      June 9, 2005
Camera ready papers                             July 2, 2005
