Call for Papers

** PhD Forum of the **

** 21st IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP) **

http://icnp13.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/call-for-phd-forum.html

Goettingen, Germany, October 7, 2013


The PhD Forum has been a regular event of the IEEE ICNP conference for the
past years. This forum is intended for both doctoral students who are
starting their PhD and those who are towards the end of their dissertation
to discuss their work. In contrast to previous years, the PhD Forum of ICNP
2013 is designed as a full day event including keynote talks, short oral
presentations by PhD students, and group discussions. Based on the quality
of presentations, a selected number of students will be invited to give a
pitch talk at the main conference. This forum will provide an opportunity
to get advice, to train presentation skills, and to network.

The topics of interest coincide with ICNP 2013. They include, but are not
limited to:

All aspects of network protocol research including design, specification,
verification, implementation, measurement, testing, and analysis.

* Domain-specific solutions including protocols for network security,
routing, user privacy, and network management.

* Application-layer protocols for peer-to-peer systems, social networks,
and emerging systems.

* Contributions to ICN architectures, specific algorithms and protocols,
as well as results from implementations and experimentations.

1. Special opportunity to discuss research plans and results face-to-face
in individual groups with professors and senior researchers outside of the

2. Keynote talks by Eric Osterweil (Verisign Labs) and Emmanuel Baccelli
(INRIA).

3. Publication of accepted papers in the IEEE ICNP proceedings and in IEEE

by at least three reviewers.

Submissions will be handled via EDAS and should include:

1. A summary of the student’s dissertation research (up to 3 pages)
including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and
initial results. Students should clearly highlight the problem(s) they
address and identify their contributions to the field of networking
protocols design and analysis.

2. A biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the student’s affiliations
and research activities, as well as the date that the student expects to
complete his/her dissertation.
