CALL FOR PAPERS

Sixth International Workshop
on Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (TMA)

London, UK, April 14 2014

http://networks.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/news/tma-2014/


Scope of the workshop
=====================

Now in its sixth year, the TMA workshop will continue its focus on
novel aspects of network measurements and traffic monitoring research,
with particular focus on validation (or invalidation) of
previous work.

The network measurement community frequently finds itself struggling
with reproducibility of previous findings. Reasons include
restrictions on the shareability of underlying datasets, as well as
the ephemeral nature of the subject under study. Therefore, the
measurement community stands to benefit considerably from research
that improves our understanding of these shortcomings and ways to
overcome them.

As a true workshop, TMA welcomes maturing research that provides
independent validation of existing work or commonly held beliefs,
reports on practical experiences gained with real-world measurements
and monitoring activities, or outlines a high-level vision for
measurement & validation.

Papers accepted to TMA 2014 will be published in IEEEXplore.


Relevant topics
===============

TMA 2014 welcomes work in the area of Internet traffic monitoring and
analysis that

- reports on independent validation or critical revision of earlier
works on traffic analysis and network measurements;

- provides technology and material to enable and promote validation
works, such as shared datasets, tools, or collaborative platforms;

- reports hands-on lessons learned and operational experience gained
with performing measurement/monitoring in a real network setting,
e.g. discuss practical problems and workarounds in large-scale
monitoring campaigns for production use;

- defines methodologies for collecting and analyzing measurements in
different network environments (wireless and wired infrastructures,
social networks, home networks);

- proposes benchmarking methodologies to compare competing solution in
the field of traffic analysis;

- defines techniques for improving the repeatability of tests,
benchmarks, and validation studies;

- introduces novel measurement and analysis techniques while providing
all the necessary material for independent validation.
