IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols
Singapore, November 8-11, 2016
Call for Papers
http://icnp2016.comp.nus.edu.sg


ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, 
is the premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol 
research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, 
implementation, and performance. ICNP 2016, the 24th annual edition, 
will be held in Singapore from Nov. 8-11, 2016.

Papers with significant research contributions to the field of network 
protocols are solicited for submission. Papers cannot be previously 
published nor under review by another conference or journal. 
Papers containing plagiarized material will be subject to the IEEE 
plagiarism policy and will be
rejected without review.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
	- All aspects of network protocol research including design, 
	specification, verification, implementation, measurement, 
	testing, and analysis.

	- Protocols for wireless networks, cellular networks, 
	software-defined networks, data center networks, 	
	social networks, peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, 
	and Internet of Things.

	- Domain-specific solutions, including protocols for 
	network security, routing, user privacy, and network management.

	- Contributions to network architecture, e.g., specific
	algorithms and protocols for network virtualization or 
	future Internet architectures.

Papers must deal specifically with aspects of network protocol research. 
ICNP 2016 will select full papers for the best paper awards. Up to two 
of the best papers from ICNP will be fast-tracked in the
IEEE/ACM 
Transactions on Networking, with a  streamlined  journal review process.

ICNP 2016 will use a double-blind review process. Papers should adhere 
to the IEEE formatting requirements and should not exceed 10 pages 
(see conference website page for details). Authors are expected to 
present accepted papers at the conference, and at least one author 
is required to register, at the full rate, in order for the paper to 
appear in the proceedings and the IEEE digital library. One full 
registration covers up to three papers on which a person is a co-author.
