ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is the premier conference covering all aspects of network protocols, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. ICNP 2012, the 20th ICNP, will be held in Austin, Texas, in late fall, 2012. Papers with significant research contributions to the field of network protocols are solicited for submission. Papers cannot be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Papers containing plagiarized material will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and will be rejected without review.

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, routing, user privacy, and network management * Protocols spanning the hardware and solution stack for wireless, mobile, sensor, mesh networks * Application-layer protocols for peer-to-peer systems, social networks, and emerging systems

Papers must deal specifically with aspects of network protocol research. Papers on general networking where network protocols are only a secondary focus will be considered only if they are of exceptional quality. ICNP will select an accepted full paper for the best paper award. ICNP 2012 will use a double-blind review process. Papers should adhere to the IEEE Computer Society format and should not exceed 10 pages. Authors are expected to present accepted papers at the conference; at least one registration per-paper is required in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE digital library.

IMPORTANT DATES Title/Abstract submission: April 27, 2012 Full paper submission: May 4, 2012 Notification of acceptance: August 10, 2012 Conference: Oct. 30-Nov. 2, 2012
