From almeroth at cs.ucsb.edu Mon Apr 9 17:07:58 2007 From: almeroth at cs.ucsb.edu (Kevin C Almeroth) Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2007 17:07:58 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [sigcomm] CFP for the ACM/Usenix IMC Workshop on Wireless Measurement Message-ID: *************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************** The IMC Workshop on Internet Measurement for Wireless Networks (IM4WiN 2007) October 23, 2007 San Diego, California http://im4win.cs.ucsb.edu/ The International Workshop on Internet Measurement for Wireless Networks (IM4WiN) is the first workshop to be associated with the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC).In the tradition of IMC, the focus is on Internet measurement and analysis with the goal that papers contribute to the current understanding of how to collect or analyze Internet measurements,or give insight into how the Internet behaves. IM4WiN narrows this focus and goal to apply specifically to wireless networks. The focus of IM4WiN is on measurement and analysis of wireless networks that are already part of the Internet or are planned to be eventually connected. Within this scope, IM4WiN is interested in papers whose primary focus is measurement and/or analysis of data with the goal that this activity leads to meaningful understanding of important network properties and/or new protocols, systems, technology, and/or best practices. Papers that fall outside of this scope will not be accepted. Examples of good topics with the IM4WiN scope include: * Challenges in heterogeneous wireless networks (3G, WiFi, Wimax) * Benchmarks for wireless algorithms, protocols and applications * Operational experience concerning wireless network performance * Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility * Challenges with wireless measurements * Experimental (in)validation of wireless network assumptions * Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation * Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations * Experience with building/designing/expanding wireless networks * Description of tools for building and/or managing test beds * Techniques for improving experiment repeatability * Techniques for validating wireless test bed results * Measurement-based guidelines for network design * Wireless security * Wireless vehicular networks * Wireless networking as infrastructure in developing regions * Energy efficient protocols and design IM4WiN is seeking up to 6 two-column pages, formatted exactly to the requirements specified on the IMC/IM4WiN web page, and submitted according to the instructions contained therein. Important dates for IM4WiN are: * Registration: July 20, 2007 (11:59 EDT) * Submission: July 27, 2007 (11:59 EDT) * Notification: September 3, 2007 * Camera Ready: September 21, 2007 (11:59 EDT) For more information see http://im4win.cs.ucsb.edu/cfp.html, or contact the Workshop Chairs: * Dina Papagiannaki (Intel Research) * Kevin Almeroth (UC-Santa Barbara) From feit at cs.huji.ac.il Tue Apr 10 04:49:48 2007 From: feit at cs.huji.ac.il (Dror Feitelson) Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 14:49:48 +0300 Subject: [sigcomm] Workshop on Experimental Computer Science: Program and Call for Participation Message-ID: Workshop on EXPERIMENTAL COMPUTER SCIENCE San Diego, 13-14 June 2007 Part of ACM FCRC In cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM http://www.expcs.org Computer science has a well-established theory and practice, but less focus on experimental methodologies and scientific observation per se. Our goals in initiating this workshop are 1. To strengthen and bolster the experimental approach to computer science, and increase its visibility 2. To help make experimental computer science more scientific, by promoting work on core methodological issues 3. To provide a venue for the publication of work on experimental computer science independent of its use in specific studies FCRC early registration deadline: 11 May 2007.

CoNEXT 2007 will be a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The conference is single-track and features a high-quality technical program with significant opportunities for technical and social interactions. The main conference will be preceded by a student workshop (organised by Suman Banerjee, Roger Karrer and Ashwin Sridharan) and another workshop. CoNEXT seeks to foster open discussions on technology alternatives and to be a forum accommodating multiple viewpoints. It is committed to a fair and thorough review process that will provide authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. CoNEXT 2007 solicits papers that help better understand today's networks and how their performance and functionality can be improved, as well papers proposing new approaches and systems on how to design and operate the next generation of networks. Additionally, papers reporting on the deployment and performance of services or exploring network functionality aimed at better supporting new services are also welcome. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Internet measurements and modelling - Economic aspects of the Internet - Implementation and experimental evaluation of network protocols/applications - Network security and deep packet inspection - Networked games, multimedia applications - Routing and traffic engineering - Peer-to-peer and overlay networks - Wireless and mobile networks - Ad hoc and sensors networks - Delay and disruption tolerant networks - New networking protocols, architectures, and addressing schemes - Autonomic and dependable communications Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not have been submitted to another conference or journal for publication. Papers must be submitted in electronic format following the instructions provided on the CoNEXT web site and must be no more than 12 pages in the ACM SIGCOMM format (strictly enforced). Proceedings will be published by ACM, appear in ACM's digital library and the best papers will be forwarded to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible fast-track publication.
