CENIC 08: Lightpath to the Stars — Call for Presentations!

The <http://cenic08.cenic.org/>CENIC 2008 Program Committee is seeking 
presentations, demonstrations, and panel discussions focused on 
network-enabled applications and
research related to the 2008 conference theme, 
<http://cenic08.cenic.org/>Lightpath<http://cenic08.cenic.org/> to the Stars.

Presentations should fit into one of the following categories: technology 
and infrastructure, teaching and learning, application development and use, 
trends,
and/or future developments in network technology and related applications. 
We are especially interested in presentations focused on research, teaching
and learning activities involving multiple segments of the K-20 community, 
and/or international collaborations. Projects or studies to be featured may be
works in progress. The conference venue will be connected to CalREN, NLR, 
and Internet2 to enable live demonstrations of content or capability.

Past topics have included optical networking, teragrid computing, 
oceanography, tsunami research, disaster planning, network security, 
implementing
IPv6, end-to-end connectivity, quality of service, last mile solutions, 
wireless technology, collaborative music and dance, and collaborative 
medicine.

In keeping with this year's theme, we hope to include presentations in the 
following topic areas:
    * Astronomy
    * Collaborative projects involving music and film
    * Grids and "Grids for Kids"
    * Sensor Nets
    * Innovative teaching using national and international networks
