-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SIGCOMM community projects : call for proposals Datum: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:27:36 +0100 Von: Olivier Bonaventure Olivier.Bonaventure@uclouvain.be Antwort an: Olivier.Bonaventure@uclouvain.be An: TCCC List tccc@lists.cs.columbia.edu

Dear colleagues,

In recognition of the international nature of our field, and the resource constraints that can stifle the exchange of ideas, the SIGCOMM Executive Committee has set aside funds to support community projects that will contribute to advancing the field of communications and computer networks and cooperation within the SIG. In order to foster cooperation and provide additional benefits to SIGCOMM members, SIGCOMM solicits proposals for projects that could benefit the entire SIGCOMM community. Possible themes for community projects include, but are not limited to:

- Improving and maintaining software that is vital to the community. - Collecting datasets that are useful for the community. - Understanding the SIGCOMM community and its evolution. - Educational material. - SIGCOMM video channel. - Training students by reproducing research results. - ...

Two community projects have already been funded after a first call in 2012 :

- Tools for OS-independent network emulation and high speed I/O (Luigi Rizzo, University of Pisa, Italy) - Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data At Dartmouth (CRAWDAD) (David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA and Tristan Henderson, St Andrews University, UK)

The SIGCOMM Executive Committee encourages the submission of new community projects proposals by January 20th, 2013.
