FYI forward ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Henning Schulzrinne <henning.schulzrinne@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 10:38 PM This is shorter-fuse than I'd like, but it might be of interest to some on this list: We are organizing the *BRW'20 (Broadband Research Workshops 2020)*, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The workshops will produce a report for NSF defining the key research goals for broadband in the United States for the next five or so years, while also reflecting on earlier research accomplishments and gaps. The workshop series will consist of three workshops, each with a different main theme: *Broadband Technology*, *Broadband Economics* and *Digital Inclusion*. Each of these three workshops will take place over two afternoons (U.S. Eastern Time), via videoconference. You can find dates, times and other details at https://sites.google.com/view/broadbandresearch2020 The workshops will be focused on producing the report for NSF, based on participant contributions, i.e., there will be no or minimal presentations. The workshops will operate under Chatham House rules and are not open to the public. We are soliciting contributions by interested researchers. If you are interested in participating, please submit your short (2-3 page) position paper to https://edas.info/N27906 by October 30, 2020. We will then select participants from among the submissions. Please be sure to read the "Background" page, as the scope of this workshop is relatively narrow. (Data center, enterprise and backbone networks are beyond the scope of this workshop, for example. Upper-layer protocols are also unlikely to be included except as drivers of broadband deployments.) -- Henning Schulzrinne Department of Computer Science Columbia University -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +2185659365 -------------------------------------- -
