TMA 2019 - Network Traffic Measurement and Analysis Conference - TMA 2019

The surging demand for bandwidth and the increasing heterogeneity of
services are posing substantial new challenges in networking. Emerging
paradigms based on the softwarization, virtualization, cloudification
of the network infrastructures are fostering exciting changes in the
ways we build and manage such systems. In particular, they force us to
re-think traffic measurement and analysis across the whole stack, from
the physical layer up to applications in the Cloud.
The Network Traffic Measurement and Analysis Conference (TMA) aims
at being a highly selective venue for the presentation of early-stage
and mature research - as well as controversial work - on all aspects
of both measurement and analysis of network traffic. The TMA conference
has a strong tradition of open and lively interaction among scientists
and engineers in academia and industry, and serves as a premier forum
to exchange ideas, and present advances over the state-of-the-art.
TMA 2019 invites submissions presenting concepts, experiences, and of
course results in collection, processing, analysis and visualization
of network traffic data, which may address performance enhancement,
monitoring, management, security, privacy or other uses of network
data. The focus is on improving the practice or application of network
measurements across the entire network stack up to application layers,
with an emphasis on new areas of network communication such as Network
Function Virtualization, Software-Defined Networks, Cloud services,
data centers or Content Distribution Networks, towards as to support
innovative services and applications. We also welcome more traditional
measurement topics, such as traffic classification, anomaly detection,
network performance evaluation and traffic analysis.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Traffic measurement, analysis, characterization, visualization and classification
- Use of data analytics, data mining, artificial intelligence and machine learning in network measurement and analysis
- Use of big data, high-rate processing and data reduction in network measurement, analysis and visualization
- Measurements of data centers or cloud-based systems
- Measurements of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
- Measurements of home, mobile and wireless traffic including devices with multiple network paths
- Application-layer measurements, including web services, social networks, mobile applications
- Measurements of quality of service and quality of experience, for network services using audio, video, virtual/augmented reality and gaming
- Measurements of network performance and network structure
- Measurement of traditional and new protocols (e.g. TCP, MPTCP, HTTP/2, QUIC) and modes of communication (e.g. NFC and IoT)
- Measurements on testbeds, experimental networks or prototype networks
- Platforms for measurement, troubleshooting, management, and control of operational networks
- Simulation and modelling for network measurements, analysis and visualization
- Identification and classification of traffic, including encrypted and proprietary protocols
- Techniques for and implications of privacy preservation, enhancement and anonymization in the context of traffic measurements
- Applications of traffic analysis for security, anomaly/vulnerability/attack detection and user profiling/privacy
- Current and emerging regulatory frameworks for measurement, analysis and privacy
- Validation and repeatability of measurements, shared datasets, collaborative platforms
-- TMA 2019 Awards
TMA 2019 will present three different awards to the best contributions,
including a best paper award, a best open dataset award and a best demo
award. Awards consist of both a recognition and a certificate presented
at the closing ceremony, as well as a monetary prize.
-- IEEE TNSM fast-track
Authors of selected top TMA 2018 papers will be invited to submit an
extended version of their paper to IEEE Transactions on Network and
Service Management (Impact Factor 3.134) for fast-track processing.
-- Submission guidelines
Authors should only submit original work that has not been published
before and is not under submission to any other venue. Submissions
must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE 2-column style, including references.
Use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for LaTeX or MS Word at
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conference....
If the paper is typeset in LaTeX, please use an unmodified version of
the LaTeX template IEEEtran.cls version 1.8b, and use the preamble:
documentclass[10pt, conference, letterpaper]{IEEEtran}
Do not use additional LaTeX commands or packages to override and change
the default typesetting choices in the template, including line spacing,
font sizes, margins, space between the columns, and font types. This
implies that the manuscript must use 10 point Times font, two-column
formatting, as well as all default margins and line spacing requirements
as dictated by the original version of IEEEtran.cls version 1.8b.
If you are using Microsoft Word to format your paper, you should use
an unmodified version of the Microsoft Word IEEE Transactions template
(US letter size).
Regardless of the source of your paper formatting, you must submit your
paper electronically, in Portable Document Format (PDF). The review
process is single-blind, hence include authors' names and affiliations
in the front page of the article. Papers must print clearly and legibly,
including all the figures, on standard black-and-white printers.
Submissions that do not comply with all requirements above will be
rejected without further review.
Papers must be submitted at https://hotcrp.info.ucl.ac.be/tma2019/,
by creating a personal account. The article metadata, including title,
up-to-250-word abstract, and authors list, must be provided before the
paper registration deadline.
Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IFIP Open
Digital Library, with open access, and submitted to IEEE Xplore.
