Welcome Message from the General Co-Chairs Welcome to the 2019 International IEEE Symposium on Precision Clock Synchronization for Measurement, Control, and Communication (ISPCS). This year marks the 13th anniversary of the conference. It comes at a particularly exciting time as the next edition of the IEEE 1588 standard is in the final stages of completion of its IEEE-SA balloting process, and it is expected to be completed early next year once the process is completed and approved by IEEE-SA to be released for publication. It will be referred to as PTP v2.1 and will bring several new features to the protocol while preserving backwards compatibility with existing devices.

The Symposium is the principal forum in which researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government can exchange ideas and findings regarding precise clock synchronization over networks using protocols such as PTP. This year, we have an excellent program with three keynote speakers that will discuss the state of the art in precision clock synchronization from their respective industries. In addition to the cutting-edge research that will be presented here, we will also be covering the highlights of the next edition of the standard, from the industry professionals that are creating it.

The Plugfest is a key part of ISPCS, where implementers bring their IEEE 1588-compatible devices, software, and systems to demonstrate interoperability among them. The PTP ecosystem benefits from cooperation among vendors to resolve compatibility issues across a wide range of devices and systems and improve their customers’ experience with their end products. This year, we will test several of the new features that are being defined in the next edition of the standard. Participants will also have an opportunity to show their equipment in an exhibition to attendees.

This year, we are proud to present the ISPCS Sync School for the first time. The Sync School is a full-day session that is focused on relating practical information on PTP. Sync School participants will learn how to deploy and operate PTP on their networks. They will also get the chance to interact with demonstration PTP networks in a "hands-on" fashion. It is our hope that this session will aid users to achieve the best possible clock synchronization on their networks and applications.

This year, we are gathering for ISPCS in Portland, Oregon, which is home to an abundance of technology companies. It is well-known for its gardens, innovative restaurants, and Powell’s Books, one of the largest bookstores in the world. We encourage you to explore the city and take advantage of all Portland has to offer.

We would like to thank you, the attendees of ISPCS, for finding the conference valuable enough to take time out of your busy schedules to network with your peers here in Portland. We would also like to thank our sponsors whose support is instrumental to making the conference possible. And special thanks to the members of the ISPCS Organizing Committee for their dedication in the planning process, and to our event managers at Conference Catalysts, for all their hard work in making this conference a success.

With all that, we hope that you have a rewarding and insightful experience at ISPCS and that you enjoy the wonderful city of Portland and the Pacific Northwest.

Welcome Message from the Program Co-Chairs

On behalf of the Program Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to ISPCS 2019, the thirteenth IEEE Symposium on Precision Clock Synchronization for Measurement Control and Communication. We welcome our speakers and attendees to Portland after holding the symposium in Europe last year.

We are delighted to have three keynote presentations this year. The first keynote, Highly Accurate Time Dissemination and Network Synchronization, will be given by Helmut Imlau, with Deutsche Telekom Technik GmbH. The second keynote, Clock Synchronization for the Low-latency Financial Sectors, will be given by Pedro V. Estrela, PhD, holding various positions in the financial industry. The third keynote, We’re Synchronized—Now Compute!, will be given by Kevin B. Stanton, PhD, a senior principal engineer at Intel.

The symposium Call for Papers resulted in high quality submissions coming from around the world. Just like the submissions, the members of the program committee formed a geographically diverse group representing both academia and industry. After careful deliberation, the program committee selected 17 papers to be presented at the conference, including full papers published in the ISPCS 2019 Proceedings.

Welcome to ISPCS 2019 and thank you for your attendance and contributions!

Keynote Speakers Pedro V. Estrela

“Clock Synchronization for the Low-latency Financial Sectors” BIO PEDRO V. ESTRELA, PhD, is a Performance Engineer working for the financial Industry since 2008, specialized in all aspects of TimeKeeping required to optimize Low-latency, fully automated, high-frequency trading systems. In this period Pedro built state-of-the-art PTPv2 time distribution

systems on several worldwide networks. Pedro's work on PTPv2 included a complete rework of the open source PTPd client, the addition of the NTP robustness watchdog to this client, and close integration with Vendor PTP solutions. This work also directly triggered the development of the “PTP Enterprise profile” by the IETF. All these aspects were described in two ISPCS papers, the latter of which was given the best paper award of the 2014 conference. Other work as a Performance engineer included optimizing all latency components of short-distance co-location links, namely by measuring and reverse-engineering all steps of the trading loop and automatically comparing the performance to its competitors. The same was the case for optimizing medium-distance Microwave and Fiber networks, plus building and productizing prototypes of ShortWave technologies that lower the Latency between very large distances (continents). Pedro holds both a PhD (2007) and a MSc (2003) in Computer Science, specialization on mobile networks, from IST-TU Lisbon, Portugal. ABSTRACT The modern regulated Financial sector requires clock synchronization to meet several Risk, Performance and Regulatory criteria. Private market-makers have obligations to provide continuous Prices to the markets; they require the fastest technologies to avoid the risk of having stale prices to the markets. Public exchanges continuously match the received Orders, centrally, first by best price and then by best time; they require the same technologies to ensure a transparent, fair and deterministic service. All parties are fully regulated; among the rules, all steps of the Financial Trades must be reported with accurate timestamps. This keynote will cover the latest clock synchronization Best Practices taken from these cutting-edge environments, for both viewpoints (Exchanges / Market-Makers). It will be detailed how electronic markets work, why specific technologies are faster, and how GPS+PTP+WR are used to monitor and optimize all of the above. The latest robustness improvements that avoid the well-known PTP single-point-of-failure and leap second issues will be covered - and why these additional features are essential to comply with the latest accuracy regulations, which have no provisions for outliers (MIFID-II RTS 25). By focusing on this highly competitive industry, the speaker will make a case why other large distributed industries will essentially find the same problems of PTPv2, when inevitably they pursue a higher-accuracy path.

Keynote Speakers (Continued) Helmut Imlau

“Highly Accurate Time Dissemination and Network Synchronization” BIO Helmut Imlau received his Diplom-Ingenieur in electrical engineering, and after that has served in different positions inside the T-Group, and is now with Deutsche Telekom Technik GmbH. He has long experience in the field of transport networks and deep expertise in the areas of synchronization and measurement. He is responsible for synchronization architecture and system engineering, with a current focus is on Deutsche Telekom's synchronization strategy, including phase synchronization for 5G. He is a member of the ITU-T Study Group 15 Question 13 on synchronization, and has written well over 100 contributions with focus on Ethernet Physical Layer Synchronization (SyncE), phase synchronization, accurate time transfer, clocks and measurement methods. His current work at the ITU-T includes cnPRTC architecture with the goals of increasing synchronization network robustness and reducing dependency on GNSS; high-accuracy time transfer methods such as optical time transfer (OTT) and the IEEE 1588 High Accuracy Profile; increasingly accurate telecom boundary clocks (T-BC) such as the Class C and Class D T-BC in G.8273.2; and the incorporation of multi-band GNSS in a PRTC in G.8272. He is head of the T-Group standardization project Timing and Synchronization, a member of ITSF Steering Group, and has made numerous presentations at the ITSF and WSTS conferences. ABSTRACT This talk analyzes methods of time dissemination in hierarchical synchronization networks and provides a mapping between the dissemination method and the network level. The need for time dissemination for the coherent network primary reference time clock (cnPRTC) architecture according to ITU-T G.8275 is explained. The following three methods will be discussed: Optical Time Transfer (e. g. according to ELSTAB), the IEEE 1588 High Accuracy Profile (“White Rabbit”), and the ITU-T specified PTP solution with full timing support from the network (PTP-FTS).

Keynote Speakers (Continued) Kevin Stanton

“We’re Synchronized- Now Compute!”

BIO Kevin B. Stanton, Ph.D. is a senior principal engineer at Intel, where he is responsible for time-related standards, technologies, and applications for cyber-physical and general-computing systems. He made substantial contributions to the IEEE 1588/PTP and 802.1 TSN standards, and drove expansion of 1588-based time synchronization over 802.11/Wi-Fi wireless links. He believes that accurate time (with bounded uncertainty) will one day be made available to every important computing device in the galaxy.

ABSTRACT For decades, computer timekeeping and time synchronization protocols have progressed along their own timelines with major enhancements in one driving advancement in the other. These lines of progression have reached a point where we can begin to see a future where Distributed, Time-Coordinated Software can itself rely on Time-Synchronization that is as secure, as robust, and more accurate than the best-case latency of today’s data networking technologies. In this talk we discuss the history of computer timekeeping that led us to this point, important leaps forward in capabilities (and jumps backward), and characteristics of a future state that will democratize new programming paradigms that will both leverage today’s time synchronization technologies, and push them further to deliver more.
