Princeton University
Princeton, New Jersey, USA
Hisashi Kobayashi has had a long and distinguished career both in industry, at IBM Research, and in academia, at Princeton University. His wide-ranging research interests have included digital communications, signal processing, random processes, computer system modeling, communication networks, and network security. This workshop will bring together colleagues in the research community having interests in these and related areas, and in particular, modeling and analysis of computer and communication systems.
An invitation is extended to interested colleagues to participate in this one-day workshop, which will be held at Princeton University campus. A block of rooms has been held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Princeton for the dates of May 8 and 9. Shuttle transportation will be provided between the hotel and the conference venue on Princeton campus. For those who can participate, a group dinner will be held at the Hyatt, immediately following the workshop.
Announcements:
- A special volume of papers in honor of Prof. Kobayashi is being planned. Tentatively, the volume will be edited by Erol Gelenbe, Waisum Lai, Brian Mark, and Mark Squillante. If you are interested in contributing a paper(s), please send an email to Brian Mark. The call is open to colleagues, whether or not they are participating as a presenter at the workshop. For workshop presenters, a contributed paper can be based on the workshop presentation, but need not be.
