Call for Papers:

IEEE WNM 2011

Sixth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements

in conjunction with the 36th IEEE Local Computer Networks (LCN)

http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN_WNM2011/WNM2011.htm

4-7 October 2011

Hilton Hotel Bonn, Germany

The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be

held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer

Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels

dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field.

The expected audience will include networking researchers,

practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia

and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance.

The first five IEEE LCN Workshops on Network Measurements were very

successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on

network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address

network measurements from different perspectives and different domains.

Topics of Interest:

Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and

characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is

important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating

the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer

designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in

wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face

domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex

dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing

measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a

forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements

to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and

wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on

mobile devices.

High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics

including, but not limited to:

Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks

Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks

Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds

Mobility models and traffic patterns

Wired and wireless domain measurements

Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets

Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation

Active and passive measurements at core nodes

End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet

Metrics for network characterization

Measurements on Mobile devices

Applications and protocols relying on network measurements

Paper length should not exceed 8 pages. Papers should be submitted

electronically in PDF format via EDAS. Papers will go through a thorough

review process. The accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN conference

proceedings and also be available via IEEE Xplore.

Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by

the same deadline as for papers.

Important Dates:

Paper registration deadline: May 15, 2011

Paper submission deadline: May 15, 2011

Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2011

Camera-ready paper due: July 28, 2011

Registration deadline: July 28, 2011

Information on registration, hotel, etc., is available at IEEE Conference

on Local Computer Networks (LCN)(http://www.ieeelcn.org).
