Call for Papers:

SAINT2007 Workshop on Internet Measurement Technology and its
Applications to Building Next Generation Internet

Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society Japan Chapter

Theme of the Workshop:

The Internet is beginning to play a central role in the social and
economic fabric of our global world, which needs to be managed in a
reliable and efficient way, and thus should be measurable and
tractable in terms of its characteristics and internal states. Due to
its huge scale, endless growth in size and diversity, and distributed
administrations, however, reliable and accurate measurements on the
Internet would be remarkably difficult.  Although a number of
measurement techniques (including these for wireless networks which
are capturing an important part of the today's Internet) have been
proposed and experiment results reported, there still have remained
much more to be solved for practically effective techniques, which
should be combined with modeling, control, and management leading to
better understanding, use, and design of the next generation Internet
and its applications.

We believe this Workshop could provide a good opportunity to address
the network measurement technology and its applications by sharing and
exchanging new ideas, experimental results, useful tools, good
practices, and new research demands among researchers, developers and
operators with interactive in-depth discussion and active
participation from all attendees.  Reports of exciting early-stage
work are welcome even if not so mature for the main
conference. Original papers are solicited on topics including, but not
limited to:

-Active Probing and Performance Measurements
-Passive Monitoring and Sampling
-Scalable Traffic and Performance Measurement for Backbone Network
-Traffic Statistics and Flow Measurements
-Wireless Network Measurements
-Measurement-based Traffic Modeling
-Measurement-based Network Design, Troubleshooting, and Management
-Measurement-based Traffic Engineering and In-line/On-line Control
-Network Measurements and Security
-Anomaly Traffic Detection, Identification, Mitigation
-Measurement Infrastructure and Measured Data Sharing


Papers and Author's Kit:

Workshop papers should be within 4 pages, no extra page is
allowed. The Proceedings of the Symposium and the Workshops will be
published, in separated volumes, by the IEEE Computer Society
Press. Please follow the instruction on the web below for preparing
your Workshop papers.  http://infonet.cse.kyutech.ac.jp/conf/saint07/


Paper Submission:

Papers should be sent to the following email address for submission as
attached file in standard PDF format no later than September 22,
2006. Unprintable files will be automatically rejected without review.
Email: saint07-imw-submit@ndrc.kyutech.ac.jp

After a review process by Organizers and Program Committee of the
Workshop, authors of accepted papers will be requested to send its
final manuscript to IEEE-CS press no later than November 1, 2006. So,
authors are kindly requested to submit papers as early as possible to
facilitate a review process.


Important Date:

September 22 = Submission Deadline
October 22   = Notification of Acceptance/rejection
November 01  = Final Manuscript Deadline


Registration:

It is the IEEE policy that accepted papers can be published only when
IEEE recognized that at least one author has registered for
presentation.  So, authors will be requested to register along with
the final manuscript. SAINT Conference Registration fees include a
copy of the Conference proceedings, a copy of the Workshop
proceedings, and admission to the Conference/Workshop sessions.


Note:
The date and length (a full or half day) of the Workshop will be
decided by SAINT2007 Organizing Committee taking account of the number
submitted of papers, and be notified on the SAINT2007 web. Please also
note that, according to the SAINT2007 Organizing Committee, the
Workshop is subject to cancellation when the number submitted of
papers will not be enough.
