ICNP 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols

ICNP 2018, the 26th annual edition of the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is a conference covering all aspects of network protocols, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance.
ICNP 2018 will be held in Cambridge, UK, between September 25 and September 27, 2018.
Papers with significant research contributions to the field of network protocols are solicited for submission. Papers cannot be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Papers containing plagiarized material will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and will be rejected without review.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
All aspects of network protocol research including design, specification, verification, implementation, measurement, testing, and analysis.
Protocols for wireless networks, cellular networks, software-defined networks, data center networks, social networks, peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, and Internet of Things.
Domain-specific solutions, including protocols for network security, routing, user privacy, and network management.
Contributions to network architecture, e.g., specific algorithms and protocols for network virtualization or future Internet architectures.
Papers must deal specifically with aspects of network protocol research. One of the accepted papers will be selected for a best paper award. Up to two of the best papers from ICNP will be fast tracked in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, with a streamlined journal review process.
