 TECHNICAL PROGRAM

Prof. R. Srikant of UIUC and Larry Dunn of Cisco will be plenary speakers at PFLDnet2007.

For the first time, PFLDnet will host a tutorial. This tutorial will be given by Prof. Steven Low, Professor at Caltech and CEO of FastSoft, with a tentative title of "Flow control theory for practitioners", on the morning of Friday February 9th, 2007 .

Regular talks will be 20 minutes, with 5 minutes for questions and change-over.

On Friday afternoon, February 9, 2007, PFLDnet2007 delegates are welcome to a complimentary site visit at WAN-in-Lab in Netlab, Caltech. A shuttle bus is has been arranged for those need transport to WAN-in-Lab site visit from ISI.
