Call for Papers

IEEE ICNP 2015 http://icnp15.cs.ucr.edu/

ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is the premier conference on network protocols, covering all aspects of network protocol research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. Sponsored by the IEEE, ICNP 2015 is the 23rd edition of the conference, to be held in San Francisco, CA, USA from Nov. 10-13, 2015.

======================================================================

Important dates

Paper Submission May 8, 2015, 7:59 PM EST (FIRM) Acceptance Notification June 30, 2015 Camera Ready Version Aug 15, 2015

======================================================================

We invite papers with significant, original research contributions to the field of network protocols for submission. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* All aspects of network protocol research including design, specification, verification, implementation, measurement, testing, and analysis

* Domain-specific solutions, including protocols for network security, Internet of Things, routing, user privacy, network management, and data centers

* Application-layer protocols for peer-to-peer systems, social networks, and emerging systems

* Contributions to network architecture, e.g., specific algorithms and protocols for software defined networks, network virtualization, or future Internet architectures

ICNP 2015 will select an accepted full paper for the best paper award. 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. Acceptance of fast-tracked papers in ToN is not guaranteed, but is more likely than a regular submission.

Submission Guidelines

* All papers should adhere to the IEEE Computer conference paper formatting requirements (IEEEtran.cls) and should not exceed 10 pages with font size no smaller than 10 pt (details can be found on the submission guidelines and formatting page).

* ICNP uses a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure double-blind reviewing, author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity; acknowledgement with identifiable names and funding sources should be removed. Note that own work should be cited as a third person. Papers violating this double-blind review policy will be rejected without review.

* Authors need to indicate on their paper’s submission page all TPC members with whom they have conflicts of interest.

* Every paper MUST be presented by an author at the conference. The author list MUST remain the same as when the paper was submitted for review, and any changes in the author list or title is forbidden without prior written permission from the TPC Co-Chairs. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to register at the full rate of the conference and to present the paper at the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings and be submitted to the IEEE digital library. Papers not presented by an author at the conference will not be published in the proceedings or submitted for inclusion in the IEEE digital library.

Integrity Policy

Submitted papers should not be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. In some cases, the ICNP chairs may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the integrity of papers under consideration. Authors are prohibited from informing any TPC member of any identifiable information (such as titles) of their submissions. Also, papers containing plagiarized material will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and will be rejected without review.
