Research : Calls for Papers

ACM SIGCOMM 2012 — Call for Posters and Demos

Posted on in category cfp

The SIGCOMM poster/demo sessions showcase works-in-progress. The setting is informal. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference call for papers.

Anyone can submit a poster/demo, but preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students. The SIGCOMM 2012 Poster and Demo committee will review all posters and demo proposals. At the conference, students must present student posters. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2012 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers.

Student Research Competition

The SIGCOMM poster session will also serve as an ACM student research competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission (May 2012), and be submitted by a single student author. Supervisors are not permitted to co-author the poster (contact the poster co-chairs if this represents a hardship).

Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions (students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates). A small travel supplement is made available to accepted entrants; please also submit applications for travel grant support. The ACM SRC program is sponsored by Microsoft Research. Winners will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences.

Why Should You Submit a Poster?

This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition, the top few submissions will be forwarded for publication to the SIGCOMM newsletter, the Computer Communication Review (CCR). Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants.

What is a Poster?

We define a poster to be A0 paper size in portrait mode (841x1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. Note that you do not submit such a large-format image; only an abstract describing in text what the poster would present.

Content

The abstract should clearly state: the problem being addressed; what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult; your approach to the problem; and the key contribution. In the final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides additional information about your work to the attendees.

Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style, modified to 10pt. Concretely, two columns, minimum 10pt times with 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space between columns. The abstract must be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees.

What and Where to Submit

Submission instructions will be available via at the website at here. Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and affiliation.

CFP — 15th IEEE Global Internet Symposium

Posted on in category cfp

The IEEE Global Internet Symposium aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss advances in Internet-related technologies. The focus of the symposium is on experimental systems and on emerging future Internet technologies, and especially on scaling such systems to a global scale. The Program Committee encourages original submissions describing promising work in progress, speculations about the future of the Internet, and progressive position papers (which should be clearly marked as such).

Authors are invited to submit papers on issues, especially scaling issues, related to current and future Internet technology. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:

  • Understanding Internet protocols and applications at global scale Internet Measurements and Methodology
  • Traffic measurement, analysis, modeling, and visualization
  • Network architectures
  • Handling Internet dynamics/heterogeneity (by applications and/or the network)
  • Large-scale distributed Internet applications
  • Privacy and/or security issues in the Internet
  • Anomaly, intrusion and attack detection
  • Routing (unicast, multicast, anycast, etc.)
  • Flow management (fairness/sharing, congestion control, differentiated services, etc.)
  • The Internet and wireless/mobile devices, as well as intermittent connectivity
  • P2P networking and overlay networks
  • Provisioning, monitoring, and management of IP services
  • Content networking (caching, content distribution, content routing, content services, load balancing, etc.)

Deadlines and submission instructions can be found on the main Global Internet 2012 website.

Applied Networking Research Prize

Posted on in category cfp

The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded for recent results in applied networking research that are relevant for transitioning into shipping Internet products and related standardization efforts. Researchers with relevant, recently published results are encouraged to apply for this prize, which will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers, network operators, policy makers and scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Third-party nominations for this prize are also encouraged. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize is to recognize the best new ideas in networking, and bring them to the IETF and IRTF especially in cases where they would not otherwise see much exposure or discussion.

Nominations via http://irtf.org/anrp to be received by 28 August 2011.
