CfP SIGCOMM 2003 Workshop MoMeTools
by Hartmut Ritter 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

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.

RE: [ifip-tc6] Little interest in sports?
by Radford, Peter 25 Mar '03

25 Mar '03

Otto et al 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.

Little interest in sports?
by Otto Spaniol 25 Mar '03

25 Mar '03

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
