The Innovating the Network for Data-Intensive Science workshop brings together network engineers and researchers to share challenges and potential solutions in the information systems and networking communities.

With its inaugural appearance at SC14 in New Orleans, INDIS has become an academic forum for experts, researchers, and engineers in research and education (R&E) networking.

The workshop encourages research papers that address one or more of the networking needs; and developments that are essential in the information systems infrastructure for the scientific discovery process.

This workshop also serves as a platform for participants in SCinet, the high-speed network built for the SC conference, to present experimental papers on their latest designs and solutions. SCinet, as a state-of-the-art network, connects many demonstrators of big science data processing infrastructures at the highest line speeds, deploys the newest technologies available, and demonstrates novel functionality.

We invite papers that propose new and novel techniques that increase the capacity and functionality of scientific computing and wide-area networks.
