************************ Call for Papers: NGI 2011 7th Euro-NF Conference on Next Generation Internet ************************ June 27 until 29, 2011 in Kaiserslautern, Germany

Conference Website: http://www.icsy.de/conferences/ngi2011/

Overview: Following the past successful conferences, NGI 2011 focuses on the design, engineering, and operation of Next Generation Internet networks. It is organized by the Network of Excellence (NoE) Euro-NF, which was initiated by the European Commission during the 7th Framework Program. Euro-NF serves as its main platform for interaction, dissemination, and collaboration. To stimulate discussions, NGI 2011 invites scientists and practitioners from industry and academia, and especially welcomes contributions from outside Euro-NF. Technical Co-Sponsor of NGI 2011 is IEEE.

Original papers on recent advances in next generation networking are invited. In addition to full papers, we also encourage to present demonstrators. Topics of interest are but are not limited to the following areas:

* Applications and Services - Grid computing - Cloud computing - Location-based and context-aware services - Network co-operation - Overlay networks and peer-to-peer * Optical Networks - Multi-layer networks - Routing & wavelength assignment - Traffic grooming and traffic engineering - Transport Ethernet, PON, WDM * Network Architecture - Access, metropolitan, and core networks - Environment-aware networking - Flexible and evolvable Network Architectures - Inter-domain and intra-domain routing - Network management and control - Security architectures and mechanisms - Network Virtualization - Energy-Efficient Networks - Mobility and nomadicity in evolved architectures - Testbeds and experimental evaluations * Wireless Networks - Ad hoc and sensor networks - Cellular networks - Cross-layer design - Integration of fixed and mobile networks * Traffic Engineering - Admission and congestion control - Performance evaluation of NG networks - Quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) - Service differentiation and multi-service support - Traffic measurements, modeling and statistical characterization - Optimization algorithms and heuristics for network dimensioning * Socio-Economic Aspects - Cost models - Regulation, IPR, network neutrality and governance - SLAs, pricing and quality of experience - Trust, privacy and security
