Passive and Active Measurement Conference 2006
Preliminary Call For Papers


Conference Information

    The sixth Passive and Active Measurement conference will be held
    March 30-31, 2006 in Adelaide, Australia.  This event focuses on
    research and practical applications of network measurement and
    analysis techniques.  The conference's goal is to provide a
    forum for current work in its early stages.  Original papers are
    invited from the research and operations communities on topics
    including, but not limited to:


    The PAM steering committee believes that releasing measurement
    data allows for better science to be conducted in the field of
    network measurement.  Therefore, for the first time, an award
    will be given at PAM 2006 for the best paper based on a new
    dataset that the authors are releasing for community use in
    subsequent research.  To qualify, a paper must significantly
    utilize a dataset that has been collected for the work presented
    in the paper.  Further, the dataset must be freely available to
    any researcher.  Authors should flag papers they wish to be
    considered for this award with a footnote on the first page of
    the paper.  Novel datasets are especially encouraged.  The
    awarded paper will be chosen from the set of qualifying papers
    accepted for the conference by a committee made up of a subset
    of the program and steering committees.

    To ensure PAM 2006 is fresh and interesting, we are soliciting
    short papers.  Unlike in previous years, authors are asked for
    full papers and not extended abstracts.  No additional space
    will be given once a paper has been accepted.

    Papers must be submitted in the Springer LNCS format and must
    not exceed 10 pages.  Formatting guidelines are available here:

    submitted to PAM to other venues during the reviewing period.

    Paper submission instructions to be announced.
