Call for PhD Forum, ICNP 2014

October 24, 2014, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA

The PhD Forum has been a regular event of the IEEE ICNP (International Conference on Network Protocols) for the past few years. This forum is intended for both doctoral students who are starting their PhD and those who are towards the end of their dissertation to discuss their work. This is a full day event which will include

- a keynote talk by Dr. Theo Benson, Duke University - short oral presentations by PhD students about their work - panel discussion by senior researchers on the topic of “Current Challenges and Future Directions in Networking” .

*NEW* this year: Each student, whose paper is accepted to the PhD Forum, will be expected to present their work in a short talk at the PhD Forum as well as present their work in a poster at the main ICNP Conference.This will enable you to discuss your work and interact with all of the ICNP conference attendees and the PhD Forum attendees.

The topics of interest coincide with ICNP 2014 ( http://icnp14.cs.unc.edu/cfp.html). They 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. - Application-layer protocols for peer-to-peer systems, social networks, and emerging systems. - Contributions to ICN architectures, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as results from implementations and experimentations.

*WHY SHOULD I SUBMIT*

- Special opportunity to discuss research plans and results face-to-face with professors and senior researchers - Inspiring Keynote talk and Panel - Publication of accepted papers in the IEEE ICNP proceedings and in IEEE eXplore. - Selected presentations will be invited to give a pitch talk at the main conference. - PhD best paper award.

*HOW TO SUBMIT*

Submissions will be handled via EDAS http://edas.info/N14799 and should include:

- A summary of the *students’ dissertation research (up to 3 pages)*including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Students should clearly highlight the problem they address and identify their contributions to the field of networking protocols design and analysis. - A *biographical sketch (1 page)* describing the students’ affiliations and research activities, as well as the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation.
