CALL FOR PAPERS

The 4th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking
EXperiments and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT), to be held in Madrid, will
have the primary goal of promoting stimulating exchanges between
various international research communities. The main conference will
be preceded by a one-day workshop, and will be a major forum for
presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that
will shape the future of Internetworking. The conference is
single-track and will feature a high-quality technical program with
significant opportunities for individual and small-group technical and
social interactions. ACM CoNEXT seeks to foster open discussions on
technology alternatives and to be a forum accommodating multiple
viewpoints, and is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review
process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed
feedback.

As its name suggests, ACM CoNEXT 2008 solicits papers on emerging
networking experiments, measurements, paradigms, with particular
emphasis on creative, out-of-the-box thinking. Additionally, papers
reporting on the deployment and performance of services or exploring
network functionality aimed at better supporting new services are also
welcome. We welcome submissions based on implementation and
experimentation, as well as simulation and analytical
approaches. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not
limited to the following:

o Internet measurement and modeling
o Wireless and mobile networks
o Ad hoc and sensors networks
o Economic aspects of the Internet
o Network security issues
o Multimedia networking
o Peer-to-peer and overlay networks
o Routing and traffic engineering
o Delay and disruption tolerant networks
o New networking protocols and architectures
o Autonomic and dependable communications
o Networked systems applications and services

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under
consideration at another conference or journal. Conformance to the 12
pages, 10pts ACM SIGCOMM format will be strictly enforced. Electronic
proceedings will be published by ACM, and the best papers forwarded to
the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible fast-track
publication. Travel grants will be available to support student
attendance at the conference.
