Call for Papers



The Eighth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets-VIII) will

bring together people with interest in computer networks to engage in

a lively debate on theory and practice of networking. Continuing the

HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for presenting

and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to

significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote

community-wide discussions of those ideas.



We invite researchers as well as practitioners to submit a short

position paper describing such an idea. The paper could, for example,

expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk

existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose

new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of

early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed

and evaluated, the work may be relevant to conferences such as

SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom.



HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view

encompasses all kinds of modern day computer networks, including (but

not limited to) home and enterprise networks, ISP networks, sensor and

personal area networks, wireless and acoustic networks, data center

networks, peer-to-peer networks, and disruption-tolerant networks. It

also encompasses all aspects of such networks, including (but not

limited to) resource management, economics and evolution, robustness

and security, mobility, interactions with applications, energy,

measurement and diagnosis, and hardware.



Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of

spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical

merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and

a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer

Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed

at the workshop.





Workshop Participation



HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive

atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60

people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities:

    * the Program and Steering Committees, one author per paper, and

      any speakers invited by the Program Committee

    * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students

      as available travel support allows

    * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of

      submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee





Submission Instructions



Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 1 inch

margins). All submissions must be blind: submissions must not indicate

the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper.  Only

electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted.  Submissions must be

written in English, render without error using standard tools (e.g.,

Acrobat Reader), and print on US-Letter sized paper.  HotNets-VIII

reviews will follow standard academic practice, although some rejected

papers may not receive full-length reviews.



Information on how to submit papers is available at
