The First IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements

http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2006/cfp.html

Date of event: November 14, 2006 until November 16, 2006
Submission deadline: June 15, 2006

The First IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements
---------------------------------------------------
To be held in conjunction with The 31st Annual IEEE Conference on Local
Computer Networks (LCN 2006)
Tampa, Florida
November 14-16, 2006.

The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in
conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN)
<http://www.ieeelcn.org/> . 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.

Topics of Interest:

Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and
characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important
for understanding the behaviour of networks and as well as for evaluating
the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Measurements in
wired and wireless domains as well as end-to-end and subnet measurements
have received significant attention. Multiple challenges exist in these
areas due to complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in
performing measurement itself. Wireless domain poses interesting research
problems due to the external factors such as environment, while the
broadcast nature of the medium allows for passive monitoring of the network.
This workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners
interested in network measurements to discuss latest advances in the field.

High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics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

• Measurements on homogenous 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
• 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
• Benchmark scenarios and results

Paper length should not exceed 10 pages. Papers should be submitted
electronically in PDF format via EDAS <http://www.edas.info/> . Papers will
go through a thorough review process. The accepted papers will appear in the
IEEE LCN conference proceedings.

Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by
the same deadline as for papers.
