Call for Papers
WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS
FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools)
in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003,
Karlsruhe, Germany
25 August 2003
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics,
network research appears significantly less mature concerning
methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are
poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of
understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by
tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated.
While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emula-tion, testbed
experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular
strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used
to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen
methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions
made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or
adjustment between results obtained by different methods.
The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models,
methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art,
and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop
aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most
successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is
needed for net-work research to progress more rapidly and to ensure
widely reproducible results.
The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the
current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models,
methods and tools.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to:
- Reproducibility of experimental network research
- Investigation of scaling effects
- Common code basis for simulation and implementation
- Mathematical methods for error assessment
- Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes
- Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments
- Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations
- Benchmarking and measurement techniques
- Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of
tools
- Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns
Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM
SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the
workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop
will be published.
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT
The workshop solicits the following types of submissions:
1) Full papers, 2) Position papers on potentially controversial or
provocative topics, and
3) Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical
session consisting of short presentations combined with live
demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review
process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to
submit an online video clip in addition to a papers.
Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are
also highly welcome. Papers should not be anonymized. See the submission
webpage (not yet available) for full submission requirements in the near
future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de.

sponsored by IFIP WG 6.8
The PWC 2003 technical program committee is soliciting extended abstracts
presenting on-going research projects on wireless and mobile communications.
Areas of interest include those that are listed on the conference call for
papers, which can be found at http://www.iit.cnr.it/pwc2003
We are looking for projects performed either at a single-country level or
involving several countries (e.g., European Commission projects)
WHY should you submit a project presentation?
---------------------------------------------
This is a great chance for disseminating the results of your project to a wide
audience. Dissemination is the previous activity to exploitation, and could be
considered as the market strategy to create awareness around your project.
WHAT you have to do NOW
-----------------------
You must submit an extended abstract presenting your project. An extended
abstract (maximum 1500 words) must clearly describe the scope of the
project, the innovative ideas behind it, partners involved, etc. In
addition, if appropriate, please shortly present results already
achieved. Extended abstracts will be reviewed for novelty,
timeliness, and relevance for this conference.
Submissions should be sent by email to pwc2003(a)iit.cnr.it by April
27, 2003. Please use the following subject: "pwc2003 project
presentation".
WHAT you have to do if the submission is accepted
-------------------------------------------------
Authors of accepted submissions will prepare a camera-ready version
of the extended
abstract to be published in the conference proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html
In addition, you have to prepare a poster presenting your project and
attend the PWC2003 poster session to present your poster.
A poster is a 1 meter x 1.25 meter rectangular board on which you can affix
visually appealing material that describes your research. How you use
this is up
to you: you may choose to print out several 8.5"x11" or A4 sheets of
paper (e.g., paper copies of overheads) and "tile" the poster board
with these pages. Or, you may choose to print a single large sheet of
paper describing the work and attach that to the poster board.
Several document companies produce professional-looking posters from
material produced on software like Powerpoint; you may want to use
such a facility.

Please accept my apologies for not replying sooner - it was on my list of
"things to do when I have a few minutes spare time".
I'm on the positive side considering that there are some very interesting
computer systems that are sports-related and some of those have very
demanding communications requirements. As examples, consider the systems
that have been developed for the Olympic Games and the systems associated
with Formula 1 car racing, even when they have removed the remote engine
control facilities to let someone other than Ferrari win!
Balancing this interest, I have to say that I would have very little time to
contribute much to progressing this, unless someone could convince my lords
and masters that it was relevant to the telecommunications operators (that's
the business sector I'm in). I'd be happy to act a reviewer of papers
(assuming it could all be done remotely) but I could not realistically
commit to anything else.
Hope this helps
Regards
Peter

Dear all,
on March 14 I asked you about a possible interest in an
IFIP initiative (or Task Force or whatsoever)
concerning "IT and Sports".
The number of answers received was rather limited:
Not more than two replies (one positive, one sceptical):
Positive: "Very interesting and innovative idea"
Sceptical: "There are many areas, much more closely related
to the core of TC6 activities where we could well use more energy
--- but we don't seem to have this energy."
At our recent meeting in Lisboa we had more positive comments.
Why did they disappear?
In two days from now I will have a preparatory meeting in Cologne
and if poisble at all I would like to have some more input.
Can I still hope for that?
Best regards
Otto
