virtualUKNOF July 2020 Call For Presentations
The second virtualUKNOF will take place on 20 July (14:30 - 16:30 BST) in the ether, and the Programme Committee are seeking content from the community for this meeting co-hosted by both UKNOF and LONAP.
You may often hear it said that UKNOF's remit is "distribution of clue", and for our second fully remote meeting, we are looking for content which is both operationally relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and our 'normal' operational remit.
The whole session is planned for around 90-120 minutes and with this in mind, we are looking for 5-6 presentations which are no longer than 15 minutes in length each. The remaining time will be used for questions, discussions and handovers.
Subject areas we are looking for include the following, but not limited to:
- data on traffic growth
- operational scaling and availability challenges
- infrastructure and skills bottlenecks
- supply chain challenges
- personnel & infrastructure protection
- security/disinformation threats, public education
- ideas that are helping
- lessons learned
- information from official channels
- universal access inequities
all within the wider areas of:
- Network operations
- Network architecture and design
- Networking hardware and software architecture
- Peering and interconnect
- Data centre design and operations
- IPv6 deployment
- Network monitoring and measurement
- New innovations in networking technology
- Open protocol standards
- Domain Name System infrastructure
- Network security and abuse prevention
- Impact of public policy of network operations
- Confessions
- Stories from the field
Please submit your proposals using the menu on the left. Submissions are welcome at any time, but for virtualUKNOF July 2020 we would like to have them no later than 3 July 2020.
If you had a talk accepted for UKNOF 46 and would like to move it to the July virtual meeting please drop us a note via pc@uknof.org.uk
