Call for Papers: Advances in Learning for Networking, Sigmetrics Workshop June 15, 2009 Seattle, WA, USA
In conjunction with Sigmetrics/Performance Evaluation, 2009 Sponsored by ACM Sigmetrics http://conferences.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics/2009/workshops.shtml Goal: Communication and computer networks are becoming increasingly complex in their architecture and control features to accommodate growing diversity of services. For example, heterogeneity arises from the different types of networks and technologies and leads to high dimensional models with inter-dependent variables. The scalability challenge arises as networks serve increasing numbers of users and communities and are required to offer wider arrays of computations and services. More and more automated and intelligent approaches have been applied to networking to tackle these challenges. Adaptive learning provides a theoretical and algorithmic foundation to those intelligent approaches. But the potential of learning in networking is yet to be explored. For example, it will require combining techniques from adaptive learning with new architectural concepts in networking to make the network self-aware and self-managing. Scope: This workshop hopes to stimulate further interest in the interdisciplinary area of learning for networking, facilitating sharing of lessons learned and exploring potential future directions. This workshop is organized for the first time at Sigmetrics, combining knowledge in both learning and networking. The workshop encourages original contributions that address how adaptive learning contributes to the science and applications of networking.In particular, the submissions may address the following, but not limited to, topics: * Networking models, mechanisms and protocols which facilitate and utilize learning to enhance performance. * Approaches that model and learn the knowledge needed for control and management of heterogeneous and large networks. * Learning approaches that are used for analyzing the performance of networks. * Learning approaches that extract information from a large amount of network data. Submission: May 5: Abstract due May 20: Author notification May 30: Final abstract due Authors are welcome to submit a 4-page abstract in Sigmetrics format ( http://acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templets) by the above deadline. The extended abstract will be reviewed by the Workshop TPC. Accepted abstracts will be published by Performance Evaluation for distribution in the community. Authors of high quality selected abstracts will be encouraged to submit extended papers to a potential special issue at an IEEE Journal. The workshop also intends to provide a forum for active discussions among speakers and participants.
