Call for Papers:
WNM 2009
Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements, in conjunction with the 34th IEEE LCN
(http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2009/)
October 20-23, 2009
Swissôtel Zürich, Schulstrasse 44, CH-8050 Zürich, Switzerland
The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in
conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN).
The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and
challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking
researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry,
academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance.
The first three IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements was very
successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on
network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address
network measurements from different perspectives and different domains.
Topics of Interest:
Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and
characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is
important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating
the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer
designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in
wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face
domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex
dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing
measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a
forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements
to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and
wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on
mobile devices.
High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics
including, but not limited to:
Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks
Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks
Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds
Mobility models and traffic patterns
Wired and wireless domain measurements
Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets
Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation
Active and passive measurements at core nodes
End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet
Metrics for network characterization
Measurements on Mobile devices
Applications and protocols relying on network measurements
Paper length should not exceed 6 pages. Papers should be submitted
electronically in PDF format via EDAS. Papers will go through a thorough
review process. The accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN conference
proceedings and also be available via IEEE Xplore.
Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by
the same deadline as for papers.
