Call for Papers:

   WNM 2009
   Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements, in conjunction with the 34th IEEE LCN
    (http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2009/)

    October 20-23, 2009
    Swissôtel Zürich, Schulstrasse 44, CH-8050 Zürich, Switzerland

    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 three IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements was 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    High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics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 6 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: April 6,  2009
    Paper submission deadline:   April 13, 2009
    Notification of acceptance:  June  30, 2009
    Camera-ready paper due:      July  28, 2009
    Registration deadline:     July  28, 2009

    Information on registration, hotel, etc.  is available at IEEE Conference
    on Local Computer Networks (LCN)
