  • Description

    • The needs of science networks are rapidly evolving. High-volume data distribution in High Energy Physics, Astronomy, and Light-Sources is seeing a new wave of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-dominated research. Not only AI is driving applications on the networks, but AI now also gets applied in harnessing the complexity of the networks. Potential applications of Quantum networks and deployed network testbeds, possibly connected with regional supercomputers, can serve the new science demands. The proposed INDIS workshop encourages high-end research and state-of-the-practice papers that address one or more of these networking needs, and developments that are essential in the cyberinfrastructure for the scientific discovery process. The workshop also serves as a platform for participants in Network Research Exhibitions, Experimental Networks of the Future, and SCinet to submit and present papers on their latest innovations, designs, and solutions, and also to showcase the next generation of networking challenges and solutions for HPC.
