Corrected announcement of NomCom members
This is the corrected annoncement of the NomCom members for this cycle. The list is taken from my posting on July 25, available at https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/ann/504888/. Those names were cut and pasted into a document and the RFC 3797 algorithm was run to choose the names. The results were verified by multiple parties, but anyone should be able to perform their own verification. The results are - Quan Xiong,Wuhan Zhongxing Software Company Limited - Xuesong Geng,Huawei - Geoff Huston,APN IC - Sarah Banks,Corelight, Inc - Georgios Karagiannis,Huawei - Lixia Zhang,UCLA - Jon Hudson,Desnet Industries & Spaced Out Radio - Luc Andre Burdet,Cisco - Mark Nottingham,Cloudflare - Ran Chen,Nanjing Zhongxingxin Software Co.Ltd Both Quan and Ran work for the same parent company, but RFC 8713 allows up to two volunteers from the same organization. Today begins the two-week challenge period. I have contacted each person to ask them to confirm their willingness. If anyone declines, I will post their replacement. On a personal note, I would like to apologize to the IETF community for my mis-steps here. I did not use the posted list and I did not recognize the error. The root causes of this were that there were disqualifications that I knew of that were not reflected, the "downloas as CSV" button on the private page initially confused me, and the relationship between column header and those two factors caused me to use a different list from the one I posted. More importantly, I would like to thank all those who pointed out the error, and reached out to do "whatever they can" to help fix things. -Rich Salz, 2022 NomCom chair. ___ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
NomCom selection is wrong
I am sorry for this, but it appears that nobody can repeat my results. Because of this, I have to go back and see where things went wrong. It is probably my fault. We know there are at least two issues: I didn't sort the list, and there's a fencepost error (because someone left or I counted the column headers, not clear). Most sincerely, I apologize to those I sent email to, welcoming them to the committee. I will post again soon. Sorry for the confusion. ___ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
Quantum Internet Research Group (qirg) RG Virtual Meeting: 2022-09-07
The Quantum Internet Research Group (qirg) RG will hold a virtual interim meeting on 2022-09-07 from 12:00 to 13:00 UTC. Agenda: **Title** Packet Switching in Quantum Networks: A Path to Quantum Internet **Abstract**: Large-scale quantum networks with thousands of nodes require scalable network protocols and physical hardware to realize. In this presentation, we present our work on packet switching as a new paradigm for quantum data transmission in both future and near-term quantum networks. We propose a classical-quantum data frame structure and explore methods of frame generation and processing. Further, we present our conceptual designs for a quantum reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer to realize the proposed transmission scheme. Packet switching allows for a universal design for a next generation Internet where classical and quantum data share the same network protocols and infrastructure. In this new quantum networking paradigm, entanglement distribution, as with quantum key distribution, is an application built on top of the quantum network rather than as a network designed especially for those purposes. For analysis of the network model, we simulate the feasibility of quantum packet switching for some preliminary models of quantum key and entanglement distribution. Finally, we explore how our model can be integrated with other network models toward a realization of a quantum Internet. **Speaker bio**: Stephen DiAdamo is a research scientist at Cisco in the quantum research group led by Alireza Shabani. He did his bachelor’s of computer science at the University of Toronto and master’s of mathematics at the Technical University of Munich in Germany. He continued with his PhD in electrical engineering at the TU Munich in the group of Janis Nötzel, where he worked on developing simulations and protocols for quantum networks and developing architectures for distributed quantum computers. His current work involves architectures for future quantum networks and application development and simulations of quantum networks.
