    The Third IEEE LCN Workshop on  Network Measurements
    To be held in conjunction with 33rd IEEE Conference on Local Computer 
Networks (LCN 2008)
    http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2008/
    October 14-17 , 2008
    Montreal, Canada

The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in 
conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) 
<http://www.ieeelcn.org>. The workshop will include papers and panels dealing 
with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The expected audience will 
include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from 
industry, academia and government.  LCN registration will cover  workshop 
attendance.

The first two  IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements were very successful in 
bringing together a set of participants actively working on network measurements 
in various domains. We will continue  to address network measurements from 
different perspectives and different domains.

Topics of Interest

Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization 
of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important for understanding 
the behavior of networks and for evaluating the scalability, reliability and 
performance of protocols. Cross-layer designs, and overlay protocols often rely 
on measurements. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and 
subnet measurements face domain specific constraints while sharing common 
objectives. Complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in 
performing measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a 
forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements to 
discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and wired 
domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on mobile devices.

High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, 
but not limited to:

    * Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks
    * Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks
    * Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds
    * Mobility models and traffic patterns
    * Wired and wireless domain measurements
    * Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets
    * Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation
    * Active and passive measurements at core nodes
    * End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet
    * Metrics for network characterization
    * Measurements on Mobile devices
    * Applications and protocols relying on network measurements

Paper length should not exceed 8 pages. Papers should be submitted 
electronically in PDF format via EDAS <https://edas.info/index.php?c=6409&;>. 
Papers will go through a thorough review process. The accepted papers will 
appear in the IEEE LCN conference proceedings and also be available via IEEE Xplore.

Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by the 
same deadline as for papers.
