CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on Network Embedded Management & Applications

===== NEMA 2011 =====

October 28, 2011, Paris, France

Co-located with CNSM 2011 (http://www.cnsm2011.org/)

Paper registration: 6 May 2011

Camera ready: 5 August 2011

Modern network devices are becoming increasingly intelligent and
programmable. Examples range from router scripting environments to fully
programmable server blades. As a result, networked applications are no
longer constrained just to servers that are interconnected via a
network, but can migrate into and become embedded within the network
itself. The next frontier lies in applications that go beyond
traditional management and control functions and that are becoming
increasingly decentralized, not constrained in scope to individual
systems. Examples include decentralized monitoring, gossip‐based
configuration, network event correlation inside the network across
multiple systems, overlay control protocols, and network‐aware
multi‐media applications. At the same time, the trend of
software‐defined networks looks at utilizing increased
programmability of networks to separate traditional device software
architectures and add more networking intelligence outside, not inside
the network.

The goal of the second edition of NEMA is to provide a platform at which
researchers and practitioners can discuss the latest trends and ongoing
research in network-embeddable applications and contrast different
emerging approaches of how to best leverage increased network
programmability. The program committee would like to encourage
submissions in this area. Topics of interest include but are not limited
to:

Enabling concepts
- Programmable networking infrastructure
- Centralized concepts, e.g. OpenFlow
- Decentralized concepts, e.g. peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networking
- Open Router Platforms
New networking paradigms
- network embedded applications
- Services implemented at the network element level instead of central
servers
- Client-server concepts that implement parts of a service at the network
level
- Software-defined Networking
- Network-enabling the Cloud
- Intelligent networking inside the Cloud
- Context and energy-aware networking; Embedded Green
- Content-centric networking
- DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) enabled management and control applications
New management paradigms - network embedded management
- Decentralized management algorithms
- Intelligent network instrumentation
- Network management implications of programmable network devices
- Instrumentation and manageability integration of network-embedded
applications
- Enhanced IPFIX concepts

The workshop is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society
and IFIP. The proceedings of the workshop will be published with IEEE
Xplore.
