CALL FOR PAPERS

Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) 2009 Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and in cooperation with USENIX November 4 - 6, 2009 Chicago, Illinois, USA

http://www.imconf.net/imc-2009/

The Ninth Internet Measurement Conference is a two and a half day event focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, building on the success of past IMCs. We invite submissions of papers that contribute to our understanding of how to collect or analyze Internet measurements, or give insight into Internet structure and behavior. Examples of relevant topics are:

- Internet traffic analysis - Internet structure and topology characteristics - Internet performance measurements - Measurement-based network management such as traffic engineering - Inter-domain and intra-domain routing - Network applications such as multimedia streaming, gaming and on-line social networks - Measurements of content distribution, peer-to-peer, overlay, and social networks - Data-centric issues, including anonymization, querying, and storage - Measurement-based inference of network properties - Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, signal processing methods - Network anomaly detection - Network security threats and countermeasures - Software tools and environments in support of measurement - Measurement-based assessment of simulation/testbeds - Measurement-based workload generation - Measurement-based modeling - Reappraisal of previous measurement findings - Internet-oriented wireless, and mobility measurement

Papers that do not in some fashion relate to measuring Internet properties are out of scope. Authors can contact the Program Chairs at imc09tpchairs@comp.lancs.ac.uk for clarification if they are unsure whether their paper is in scope.

Ethical standards for measurement must be considered by all IMC authors. In particular, authors must be aware of and conform to acceptable use policies for individual domains that are probed or monitored, data privacy and anonymity for all personally identifiable information, and etiquette for using shared measurement data (see Allman and Paxson, IMC '07). If applicable, authors are also urged to notify parties of security flaws in their products or services in advance of publication. Adherence to ethical standards for measurement will be a criteria for all submissions and violations will be grounds for rejection.

Important dates May 4, 2009: 10PM EDT: Registration of title and 250-word abstract May 11, 2009: 10PM EDT HARD submission deadline July 17, 2009: Notification August 22, 2009: Camera Ready Copy due
