W-MUST: Workshop on Measurements Up and Down the STack
Helsinki, Finland (August 17, 2012)
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/wmust.php


Following the success of the first W-MUST workshop at SIGCOMM 2011, we are holding a second workshop this year. W-MUST aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the networking and HCI communities to share new ideas and experiences addressing the challenges of measuring networked applications on end-user platforms for purposes related to performance, privacy, security, diagnosis, and troubleshooting. We are particularly interested in gathering context related to user activity or reflecting measurement-derived information to users. Work that solely considers
network-level traces is out of scope. This workshop encourages work toward understanding how to gather the user view and correlate it with lower-level measurements.

- Topics
We solicit short papers describing positions and work-in-progress that will generate lively discussion. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

	• Incentivizing and providing feedback to users.
	• Techniques for gathering individual user perspectives during measurement.
	• Sampling users in the face of unpredictability.
	• Data collection techniques that respect personalised user privacy.
	• Correlating user experience with low level measurements.
	• Disambiguating intentional from unintentional network activity.
	• Disambiguating user-generated from non-user generated activity.
	• Combining user, application, and network measurements on smartphone platforms.
	• Exposing hidden activities, on the network and in the
cloud, to users.
	• Understanding tradeoffs in host data collection between performance impact and data quality.
	• Annotating measurement of peoples' use of networked applications with context.
	• Optimising network and system resources via context-aware user profiles.
	• Quantifying user experience with both network-centric and user-centric metrics.
	• Integration of formal and informal user-centric methodologies into measurement.

- Submission Instructions
Submissions must be as PDF files no longer than 6 pages in length. They must include the authors' names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Submissions must follow theSIGCOMM formatting guidelines. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.
