******************************************************************************* Workshop on Overlay and Network Virtualization (NVWS 2009) http://www.net.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/nvws In conjunction with the 16th GI/ITG Conference on Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen (KiVS 2009), Kassel, Germany, March 2-6, 2009

Call for papers: --------------- Recently, several “Future Internet” initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, offering the exciting opportunity to design new approaches to supporting richer network services in a variety of scenarios and environments, such as middleboxes, IPv4-v6 interworking, p2p, and other services. These research efforts may eventually lead to an internetwork architecture with the support of overlay and network virtualization significantly more flexible features than the traditional Internet.

The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent investigation on architectural and design issues as well as related implementation, experimentation or simulation efforts towards realization of overlay and network virtualization for the future internetworks.

Original papers not under consideration of another conference, workshop or journal are encouraged to submit via http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6644. Submissions should be written in English, adhere to the IEEE double-column format, no smaller than 10pt size, and no more than 6 pages in total.

Important dates: --------------- Submission of papers: October 11, 2008 Notification of acceptance: November 30, 2008 Camera ready version due: December 27, 2008 Workshop date: March 5 or 6, 2009
