The purpose of this workshop is to bring together network researchers and operators from national laboratories, academia, and industry to identify and discuss emerging opportunities and challenges in the design and development of a new generation of smart high-performance network infrastructures to support distributed extreme-scale science.
Scientists increasingly depend on highly reliable and secure high-performance networks to access critical science facilities, collaborate, and share massive volume of data. As this trend continues, networks are expected to provide more sophisticated easy to use, secure, and predictable intelligent services. These expectations translate to a new generation of high-performance networks with intelligent capabilities delivered to scientists in the form of just-in-time Network-as- a-Smart service (NaaSS).
