The Internet Measurement Conference will focus on Internet measurement and analysis, following on the success of the 2001 Internet Measurement Workshop, the 2002 Internet Measurement Workshop, and the 2003 Internet Measurement Conference. We welcome the submission of papers that contribute to our understanding of how to collect or analyze Internet measurements, or give insight into how the Internet behaves. Examples of relevant topics are:

• Workload and topology characterization; traffic analysis
• Software tools and environments in support of measurement
• Traffic engineering and measurement of traffic matrices
• Web, CDN, peer-to-peer, and overlay measurements
• Internet-oriented wireless, mobility, and sensor net measurement
• Inter-domain and intra-domain routing
• Multimedia streaming and gaming
• Data-centric issues, including anonymization, querying, and storage
• Measurement-based inference of network properties
• Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection
• Measurement assessment of simulation/testbed and previous measurement findings
• Measurement-based modeling

Submissions must be in electronic form, as Postscript, or PDF documents. The submission must conform to the page limits stated above, and the main text body must be written in a 10 point (or larger) serif font. All manuscripts must be in English. Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be unread. A PDF version of the CFP can be found here.

Important dates:

• May 7, 2004: Registration of title and 250-word abstract
• May 14, 2004: 11PM EDT HARD submission deadline
• July 16, 2004: Notification
• August 15, 2004: Camera Ready Copy due
• October 25-27, 2004: Conference held in Taormina, Sicily, Italy

All full papers and extended abstracts accepted for presentation at the workshop will be published by ACM in proceedings. A few accepted papers may be forwarded for fast-track submission to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. There may also be an opportunity to present some papers that are not accepted in a poster session.

The workshop will present a best student paper award for the top paper with a student as the primary author and contributor. A limited number of travel grants may be available to students who are unable to secure funding from their advisors.
