==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS SIGCOMM 2006 - Workshop on Internet Network Management (INM'06) Pisa, Italy, September 11 http://www.research.microsoft.com/~dmaltz/inm06 =====================================================================

In many ways, computer network management remains the least understood aspect of networking, with are few well-established principles to guide the design of network management systems and little scientific theory to support reasoning about and controlling the state of a network.

This workshop will provide an opportunity to elevate our collective experiences with IP networks into principles and ideas that can be implemented today and carried forward into the clean-slate design of new networks that intrinsically support management, rather than treating it as a bolt-on afterthought.

We seek original and thought provoking ideas, case studies, experimental results, position papers, and clean slate designs. Submissions concerning special-purpose networks, such as VoIP, content distribution, or mobile wireless, are welcomed. The workshop will provide a forum for exchange of experience, challenges, and work-in-progress discussions.

Topics of interest include: * new abstractions for network configuration management; * new control plane architectures; * data plane mechanisms to support management; * autonomous network management systems with predictive/proactive behaviors; * ensuring stability and coherent behavior in distributed and/or autonomous systems; * management of backbone, access, enterprise and home networks and network-based applications; * techniques and experiments for evaluating network management architectures; * requirements for experimental platforms that support network management research; * comparisons between IP network management and ATM, SONET, or telephony management; * defining and enforcing network borders; * automatic and adaptive control of networks; * cross-layer interactions, including IP/Optical or Servers/IP; * hitless planned maintenance; and * fault and performance management.
