The Workshop will be held in Ballroom of University Center on the UMBC campus. The workshop is supported by IBM, SUN and Sprint. The goal of the Workshop is to bring together experts in related areas to discuss progress and research issues in the design and implementation of very high speed communication networks. Each of the previous workshops attracted approximately 150 researchers representing academia, industry and government. The two day meeting will include invited speakers and contributed presentations. Papers on selected presentations will appear in a special issue of the Journal of High Speed Networks. For more information on MCTR and directions to UMBC check our home- page on WWW.(http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~mctr) A registration fee of $150 will include two lunches and conference proceeding.
