PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

ICNP 2005 13th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Boston, Massachusetts November 6-9, 2005

http://csr.bu.edu/icnp2005 E-mail: icnp2005-org@cs.bu.edu

ICNP is a highly selective single-track conference covering all aspects of network protocols including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. On its thirteenth anniversary, ICNP 2005 will return to Boston, the Intellectual Hub of The Universe, where it will be held in the historic Backbay area.

Papers describing significant research contributions to the field of network protocols are solicited for submission. Papers must be neither previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Selected top papers from ICNP 2005 will be forwarded to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible publication. In addition, a "Best Paper Award" will be given to the outstanding paper presented at the conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Protocol testing and analysis Protocol design and implementation Network measurement and monitoring Security and resiliency Peer-to-peer/Overlay protocols Routing protocols Wireless and mobile networks Ad hoc and sensor networks QoS and signaling Flow and congestion control Multimedia Distributed gaming

ICNP 2005 will feature tutorials and workshops for which it is soliciting proposals. Also, plans are underway for a student poster session and a student travel grant program. Details will be posted on the conference web site as they become available.
