Verisign Labs is working with a number of parties who
are planning on holding a workshop to discuss the causes and potential
mitigations of domain name collisions. To support the event, we are
seeking research submissions on this topic for presentation in the workshop and
there are prizes given for the most valuable research contributions.
The submission of the extended abstract ends very soon (actually Monday
next week!) and you have hopefully been made aware of this deadline via
alternative channels of communication - however I wanted this list to be aware
that if the abstract is accepted, the papers themselves are not due until March
2.
The workshop is
called “Workshop and Prize on Root Causes and Mitigation of Name Collisions
(WPNC)” and is being held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in London between March
8-10 this year. The organizers are seeking sponsors and additional
participation in this workshop from DNS and infrastructure organizations; full
details are available at http://www.namecollisions.net/
