--- SCOPE ---

New waves of networked applications continue to push the limits of what

is possible with networks today. Augmented Reality and Tactile Internet

require ultra-low latency measured in single-digit milliseconds.

Requirements of Industrial Internet applications that involve real-time

industrial control are even more stringent and tolerate no jitter at

all. Compounding this situation is the fact that many of those

applications are mission-critical and cannot afford any loss in

connectivity or even single packets. Collectively, these applications

require High-Precision Networks that are characterized by very

stringent service level boundaries and associated guarantees that

border on determinism. This requires a rethinking of many of the

principles underlying existing "Best Effort" internetworking technology.

Various approaches are emerging that try to tackle those challenges.

Data centers with fixed topologies and a constant number of hops

rapidly replace conventional routing and more general Internet

topologies. Networks are becoming more programmable to allow to

custom-tailor and optimize treatment of packets and flows. Related

technologies range from Service Function Chaining to Network Slicing to

SDN. One overarching question concerns how these technologies can be

harnessed and what additional approaches are needed to be able to

actually deliver on High-Precision Networking. This will involve

advances over a wide range of areas, such as programming and processing

of packets in the data plane, high-precision measurements and telemetry

with nanosecond accuracy at scale, control interfaces and ultra-low

latency control loops to optimize service levels, as well as advances

in the related platforms and algorithms that allow for their management

and control.

The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers, students and

professionals from industry and academia to discuss challenges and

present work-in-progress and solution approaches to deliver on

High-Precision Networks and their management and control.
