Call for Presentation Proposals
MPLS 2013
With focus on SDN, Cloud/Data Center Interconnect, Mobility and Services for Resiliency
MPLS 2013 International Conference, the 16th Annual International Conference on MPLS and Related Technologies, will be held November 17-20, 2013, in Washington, DC at the Marriott Wardman Park. The Program Committee of MPLS 2013 is soliciting presentation proposals for the conference. The committee seeks original and unpublished work to continue the tradition initiated by this conference in 1998 of covering cutting-edge topics. Presentations addressing new technologies and operational experience are solicited from network equipment vendors, service providers, the research community, government agencies, and enterprise users. The submissions are due April 29, 2013.
Please submit your abstracts to mpls2013-cfp@isocore.com.
