PAM 2012 - Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) Conference 2012

Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) Conference 2012
VIENNA, AUSTRIA, MARCH 12-14, 2012
http://pam2012.ftw.at/

The PAM conference has in the past focused on research and practical
applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. However this
year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area.
The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional
Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked environment
--- networked applications, content distribution networks, online social
networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at
all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components, at the
MAC/network/transport layers, as well as up the stack for application
profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurements technologies are
being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless
and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition
of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of topics. We
aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked
environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can
serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same
time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques,
tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. PAM seeks to
bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages
submission of early stage research. Original papers are invited, but not
limited to, the following topics:
? Passive and Active Measurement Tools: Techniques, Design and
Experience
? Characterization studies of network usage and networked applications
? Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked
services at large.
? Correlating measurements across multiple layers
? Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals
? Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of
Experience
? Measurements for Security and Privacy
? Distributed and Inter-domain measurements
? Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements
? Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability
? Measurement technology for software-based routers
? Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services
? Measurements in Home Networks
? Measurement Visualization
? Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure
? New Measurement Initiatives
? Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results
? Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis
? Measurement Data Management
