Synopsis:
The ROADS workshop goal is to bring together people exploring  
challenges in building widely distributed networked systems with  
those building global-scale facilities to enable research on future  
communication networks, with an emphasis on systems that run on real  
networks, providing real services to real users. For this workshop we  
especially welcome papers that explore the interaction between  
simulation (e.g., ModelNet or ns-3), emulation (e.g., Emulab), and  
more realistic deployment settings (e.g., PlanetLab) to better  
predict performance or architectural bottlenecks when scaling up  
distributed service on experimental environments.
