Continuing<br>the HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for<br>presenting and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to<br>significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote<br>community-wide discussion of those ideas.<br><br>We invite researchers and practitioners to submit short position<br>papers describing such ideas. A paper could, for example, expose a new<br>problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work,<br>report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation<br>methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work<br>and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed and evaluated,<br>the work may be relevant to conferences such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys,<br>NSDI, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom.<br><br>HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view includes<br>new ideas relating to (but not limited to) home and enterprise<br>networks, ISP networks, sensor and personal area networks, wireless<br>and acoustic networks, data center networks, peer-to-peer networks,<br>network architecture, and disruption-tolerant networks. It encompasses<br>all aspects of such networks, including (but not limited to) resource<br>management, economics and evolution, robustness and security,<br>mobility, interactions with applications, energy, measurement and<br>diagnosis, and hardware.<br><br>Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of<br>spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical<br>merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and<br>a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer<br>Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed<br>at the workshop.<br><br><br>Workshop Participation<br><br>HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive<br>atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60<br>people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities:<br><br> * one author per accepted paper, any speakers invited by the<br> Program Committee, and the Program and Steering Committees,<br><br> * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students<br> as available travel support allows, and<br><br> * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of<br> submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee.<br><br>Submission Instructions<br><br>Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 1 inch<br>margins). All submissions must be blind: submissions must not indicate<br>the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Only electronic<br>submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in<br>English, render without error using standard tools (e.g., Acrobat<br>Reader), and print on US-Letter sized paper. Papers must contain novel<br>ideas and must differ significantly in content from previously<br>published papers and papers under simultaneous submission.<br><br><br>Important Dates<br><br>Abstract registration: July 2, 2010 (11:59pm EDT)<br>Paper submission: July 9, 2010 (11:59pm EDT)<br>Notification of decision: August 27, 2010<br>Camera-ready submission: September 27, 2010<br>Workshop dates: October 20-21, 2010<br><br><br>Organizing Committee:<br><br>General Chairs:<br> Geoffrey Xie (Naval Postgraduate School)<br> Robert Beverly (Naval Postgraduate School)<br><br>Program Chairs:<br> Robert Morris (MIT)<br> Bruce Davie (Cisco Systems)<br><br>Program Committee:<br><br> Bryan Ford (Yale)<br> Albert Greenberg (Microsoft)<br> Paul Francis (Max Planck Institute)<br> Laurent Mathy (University of Lancaster)<br> Ben Zhao (UC Santa Barbara)<br> Eddie Kohler (UCLA)<br> Vern Paxson (UC Berkeley)<br> John Lockwood (Algo-Logic and Stanford)<br> Ratul Mahajan (Microsoft)<br><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
