All Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Proceedings 2nd International Workshop on Grid Network Research.

IEEE/CreateNet International GridNets 2005 www.gridnets.org, Oct 6-7 at Boston, MA, USA.

Co-located with IEEE/CreateNet International BroadNets 2005 www.broadnets.org (Same week as GGF15 in Boston!)

The GridNets 2005 workshop will focus on research issues and challenges as well as lessons learned from experience. Topics of interest include and are not limited to:

• New concepts and requirements to shape the design of eScience and Research Networks
• Integration of advanced optical networking technologies and architectures (OPS, OBS) for the Grid environment
• Coordination of network resources with other Grid resources (CPU, Storage)
• Layer interactions: optical layer with higher layer protocols
• Grid advanced resource reservation
• Self-healing Grid networks
• Traffic characteristics and performance analysis
• New architectures and technologies that address grid requirements
• Experience on production-level optical network infrastructures
• Middleware design and grid layer integration issues for accessing and managing network resources
• Routing and scheduling for dynamic bandwidth control
• Monitoring, provisioning, brokering of network resources
• New multi-service frameworks and models
• End-to-end application level control of network resource
• Novel data transport protocols designed for new application services
• Data replication and multicasting strategies and protocols
• Fault-tolerance, protection, security, and scalability issues related to connecting large number of sites
• Network cost, performance, and incentive issues
