1 This year marks the l0 h anniversary of the IFIP International
Workshop on Protocols for High-Speed Networks (PfHSN). It began in
May 1989, on a hillside overlooking Lake Zurich in Switzerland, and
arrives now in Salem Massachusetts 6,000 kilometers away and 10
years later, in its sixth incarnation, but still with a waterfront
view (the Atlantic Ocean). In between, it has visited some
picturesque views of other lakes and bays of the world: Palo Alto
(1990 - San Francisco Bay), Stockholm (1993 - Baltic Sea),
Vancouver (1994- the Strait of Georgia and the Pacific Ocean), and
Sophia Antipolis I Nice (1996- the Mediterranean Sea). PfHSN is a
workshop providing an international forum for the exchange of
information on high-speed networks. It is a relatively small
workshop, limited to 80 participants or less, to encourage lively
discussion and the active participation of all attendees. A
significant component of the workshop is interactive in nature,
with a long history of significant time reserved for discussions.
This was enhanced in 1996 by Christophe Diot and W allid Dabbous
with the institution of Working Sessions chaired by an "animator,"
who is a distinguished researcher focusing on topical issues of the
day. These sessions are an audience participation event, and are
one of the things that makes PfHSN a true "working conference.
