Purpose/Course
Description:

Timing
and Synchronization in Packet Networks
As Deployment Begins, What is Working, What is Not?
The telecom/datacom core is shifting from synchronous to asynchronous.
And promising new methods of providing sync for applications have
been developed into standards. Yet, problems remain that are preventing
the Next-Generation Network from reaching its potential. Explore
these issues at the NIST-ATIS-NCSLI-IEEE Workshop on Synchronization
in Telecommunications Systems (WSTS) 2009. WSTS provides a forum
for high-level discussion and knowledge sharing with the experts
on sync. The goal is to provide the groundwork for collaboration
and creating the solutions that will drive the success of the NGN.
What is the
critical interplay between new applications and new synchronization?
As Deployment Begins, What is Working, What is Not? How are the
international sync standards evolving to support highly demanded
apps? Learn what is happening and have an impact on this evolution.
Come to this interactive Workshop in Colorado, March 10-12, 2009,
the NIST-ATIS-NCSLI-IEEE WSTS'09.
