[Tccc] CFP: Special issue of IEEE Network, network traffic monitoring and anomaly detection

Call for Papers
IEEE Network Magazine
Special Issue on Network Traffic Monitoring and Analysis

Background
Modern computer networks are increasingly complex and ever-evolving. Understanding and
measuring such a network is a difficult yet vital task for network management and diagnosis.
Network traffic monitoring, analysis and anomaly detection has become a very active research
area in the networking community. It provides useful tools in understanding network behavior
and in determining network performance and reliability so as to effectively troubleshoot and
resolve the issues in practice. Network traffic monitoring and analysis is an indispensable
tool for optimization of network resources as well as for effective network planning and
design. It also provides a fertile ground to model access patterns and network behavior that
is useful for performance analysis. Furthermore, network traffic monitoring and anomaly
detection provides a basis for prevention and reaction in network security, as intrusions,
attacks, worms, and other kinds of malicious behaviors can be detected by traffic analysis
and anomaly detection.

Scope
This special issue seeks original articles examining the state of the art, open issues,
research results, tool evaluation, and future research directions in network monitoring,
analysis and anomaly detection. In particular, we welcome papers presenting new research
developments in this area. All submissions should be written to be understandable and
appealing to a general audience. Research papers should contain a substantial amount of
tutorial content and minimal mathematics. Some of the topics of interest include:

* Network traffic analysis and classification
* Traffic sampling and signal processing methods
* Network performance measurements
* Network anomaly detection and troubleshooting
* Network security threats and countermeasures
* Network monitoring and traffic measurement systems
* Real environment experiments and testbeds

Manuscript Submission
Articles should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to readers outside the
speciality of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Network Magazine guidelines regarding
the manuscript and its format. For details, please refer to the "Guidelines for manuscripts"
at the IEEE Network Magazine web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html.
Submitted papers must be original work and must not be under consideration for publication in
other venues. The manuscripts should be submitted in PDF with a separate cover letter, which
contains the paper title, authors, complete contact information (indicating the primary contact author), a 250-word abstract, and 3-5 keywords, via e-mail to one of the guest editors.
Authors uncertain about the relevance of their paper to this special issue should inquire with
the guest editors before submission.
