The First IEEE LCN Workshop on
Network Measurements
Tampa, Florida
To be held in conjunction with The
31st Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2006)
November 14-17, 2006.
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.
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High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited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. 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.
