1st P4 Workshop in Europe (P4WE)

A presentation by the P4 Language Consortium and ONF in conjunction with ICNP 2018

Held at Cambridge, UK on September 24, 2018

P4WE 2018 is the first P4 Language Consortium event in European. It aims to bring together P4 and P4->NetFPGA researchers from Europe and from around the world, and to foster the growth of the P4 Community.

P4WE, which will run as a workshop at ICNP 2018, will have proceedings. It aims to enable researchers to publish early stage work and small scale projects.
