To be held
in conjunction with
33rd IEEE
Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2008)
October
14-17 , 2008
Montreal,
Canada
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 two 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High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the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 8 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.
