Special Issue on Future Internet Testbeds http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-i...
Important dates Paper submission: 01-07-2012 (extended) Acceptance notification: 15-09-2012 Final papers: 15-11-2012
It is increasingly recognised that the current Internet architecture is being challenged by unprecedented scale, new applications, untethered mobile wireless access, and domain-specific network scenarios and technologies including MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks) and wireless sensor networks. At the same time we increasingly rely on the Internet for all aspects of our lives.
The ability to evolve the Internet architecture to meet these challenges depends in part on the ability to test proposed protocols, services and configurations in a realistic setting at an appropriate scale. This requires testbeds that have significant scale, geographic scope, and that have a programmable Internet waist to permit experimentation with new addressing, forwarding, routing, and signalling paradigms. The GENI (Global Environments for Network Innovation) program in the US, and FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) programme in Europe have recognised and are funding this need.
With this special issue of Computer Networks, we solicit papers that that describe the results of experimentation on the architecture, implementation, and deployment of Future Internet (FI) testbeds. While we are especially interested in experimental results, we also seek insightful papers that describe testbed architectures and their deployment issues, challenges, and experience.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• programmable FI testbed architectures • scalability in node count, interconnection complexity, and geographic scope • interoperation and extension across research networks (such as Internet2, NLR, GÉANT2, JANET, JGN-X, and KOREN/KREONET) • heterogeneity and FI testbeds for domain-specific networks • alternative communication paradigms (e.g. packets vs. circuits) • deployment challenges and experiences • federation of heterogeneous testbeds with one another and with • instrumentation and measurement of FI testbeds • management of FI testbeds that are distributed across administrative domains • security, use policy, and broad research community access to FI testbeds • experiment design, methodology, and verification • experimental results that could not have been achieved on traditional end-system or localized testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab or Emulab)
Submission format The submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet/
Submission Guideline All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System (EES).
