Call for Papers



A PDF version of the call for papers.

The 4th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT 2008), 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 three one-day workshops, 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 2008 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.

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:

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

Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal.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.
