[WNM 2011] IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements

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High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to: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.
