IWNMA 2011 - The 2011 International workshop on Network Modeling and Analysis (IWNMA-2011)

The 2011 International workshop on Network Modeling and Analysis (IWNMA-2011)

( Jan 2nd, 2011 , Bangalore, India )

To be held in conjunction with
The 12th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking

(ICDCN 2011)
http://icdcn.iitkgp.ac.in/

The IWNMA 2011 workshop provides a forum for practitioners, researchers, engineers and scientists to address the challenges of modeling and analyzing different types of computer networks. The networks today, notably optical, wireless, IP, and peer-to-peer, become increasingly complex. Moreover, different layers in a network application often interact in an unpredictable manner. As a result, many traditional modeling techniques are no longer adequate to characterize their performance accurately. This workshop’s goal is to explore some of these problems from both academic and industrial viewpoints, preferably from different technical fields (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Operations Research, Physics, etc).

Scope

The IWNMA 2011 workshop seeks original research articles that advance the modeling and analysis of computer networks today. The workshop welcomes unpublished papers on the modeling and analysis of all types of computer networks. The modeling and analysis could be based on analytical modeling, network measurement, or a hybrid.

IWNMA-2011 topics include but are not limited to the following areas

- Network structure and topology characteristics
- Network performance evaluation
- Inter-domain and intra-domain routing
- Evaluation of peer-to-peer, overlay, and social networks
- Data-centric issues, including querying, and storage
- Evaluation-based inference of network properties
- Evaluation-based network management
- Design of scalable monitoring systems
- Sampling methods
- System diagnosis methods
- Network anomaly detection and security threats
- Wireless network analysis and modeling
- Cross-layer analysis and modeling
- Complex network theory

　
Submission and Publication Information

The accepted papers from this workshop will be publishedpublished in ICDCN-2011 conference/workshop proceedings. Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column) [http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps...]. Papers should be submitted through the paper submission system at the symposium website [https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/IWNMA2011/] or emailed to the Program Chair(iwnma.netlab(at)gmail.com). Each paper is limited to 6 pages (or 8 pages with over length charge). The program committee will select the Best Paper Awards for this workshop. Submitting a paper to the workshop means that, if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the symposium and present the paper. For no-show authors, their papers will be removed from the digital library after the symposium and their affiliations will be notified.

Certify the Originality of Your Work

During the process of your submission, you are required to answer the following question:

Is it true that your manuscript presents an original and unpublished work?

You can continue the submission process only if you answered yes to this question. We would like to emphasize that only original manuscripts whose main technical contents have not been published by or submitted to other conferences and journals are allowed for submission to IWNMA-2011.
