CALL FOR PAPERS
Brief description
The evolution of the Internet in the last few years has been
characterized by dramatic changes to the way users behave, interact
and utilize the network.
The rapid introduction of new categories of applications such as
network games and peer-to-peer, the increasing presence of malicious
traffic, and the widespread use of encryption techniques, make the
measurement, analysis and classification of Internet traffic a
challenging task.
The research community and many network operators are responding to
these changes by designing and deploying traffic measurement and
classification architectures of increasing complexity.
Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service
managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the
evolution of the networks.
Traffic classification and analysis mechanisms belong to the wide set
of tools that helps the allocation, control and management of
resources in IP networks. Following the development and the evolution
of Internet applications, new efficient classification techniques are
highly desirable to support advanced capabilities as regards network
monitoring, network resource management, anomaly detection, and
network auditing.
This workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and
engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their
experiences and research results about all aspects of traffic
classification and analysis.
Topics of interest
The workshop is soliciting high quality papers discussing original and
innovative experimental activities, unpublished and not currently
submitted for publication elsewhere, on topics, including but not
limited to, the following:
# Traffic classification algorithms and techniques
