CALL FOR PAPERS
ICNP 2008
16th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols
Orlando, Florida
October 19-22, 2008


ICNP 2008, the sixteenth IEEE International Conference on Network
Protocols, is a conference covering all aspects of network protocols,
including design, analysis, specification, verification,
implementation, and performance. ICNP 2008 will be held in Orlando,
Florida, on October 19-22, 2008. Papers with significant research
contributions to the field of network protocols are solicited for
submission. Papers cannot be previously published nor under review by
another conference or journal. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

1. Protocol testing, analysis, design and implementation
2. Measurement and monitoring of protocols
3. Protocols designed for specific functions, such as: routing, flow
 and congestion control, QoS, signaling, security, network
 management, or resilience
4. Protocols designed for specific networks, such as: wireless and
 mobile networks, Ad hoc and sensor networks, virtual networks, and
 ubiquitous networks

Papers must deal specifically with protocols. Papers of general
networking nature where protocols are only a secondary focus will be
considered only if they are of exceptional high quality and only a
very limited number of such papers will be included in the technical
program.
ICNP will select an accepted full paper for the best paper award.

For the first time, ICNP is using a double-blind review process. The
identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each
other. To ensure blind reviewing, authors names and affiliations
should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be
made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.
