Keynote:

Eddie Kohler, creator of the Click Modular Router and ass. professor
at UCLA


Program:
------------

For the first time, a Click symposium will be organized to bring
together
users and developers of the Click Modular Router framework.

This symposium is an opportunity for Click developers and researchers,
and
others interested in the wider field of networking, to get together to
share
knowledge and experiences. Over the course of two days attendees will
be able to

  - meet other Click developers/researchers and find out how they use
Click
  - get answers to technical questions
  - form relationships for future collaboration
  - hear about some cool Click applications.

The first day of the symposium, a developer day will be held to freely
exchange amongst each other thoughts and ideas about the future of
Click.
Topics include but are not limited to:

        - multiprocessing status and improvements
        - supporting per-flow state
        - debugging kernel routers
        - dynamically adding and removing element subgraphs
        - GUI development
        - educational applications
        - IPv6 status
        - generic network protocol support (e.g. addressing, generic
routing
tables)
        - annotation improvements
        - ...

The next day, experiences about Click applications, development and/or
research results using Click will be presented. To this end, we open a
call
for presentations for the following topics:

        - novel applications of Click
        - commercial applications of Click
        - Click customizations
        - Click innovations
        - lessons learned after using Click


Submission:
----------------

Authors are requested to submit a 1 page PDF file containing a
description of
the work they want to present. Based on the submitted contributions the
organising committee will select four presentations for a 30 min talk
and
additional contributions for a poster session.

Demonstrations of Click implementations are also highly encouraged.

Contribution descriptions should be submitted through the symposium
website
before: September 14th, 2009.
