******************************************************************************* CALLFORPAPERS ******************************************************************************* TRAC2013 4th International Workshop on TRaffic Analysis and Classification IEEE sponsored July 1-5, 2013, Cagliari, Italy http://netgroup.iet.unipi.it/trac2013 co-located with IWCMC 2013 (http://iwcmc.org/2013/) CALLFORPAPERS Brief description ----------------- The evolution of the Internet in the last few years has been characterized by dramatic changes to the way users behave, interact and utilize the network. The rapid introduction of new categories of applications such as network games and peer-to-peer, the increasing presence of malicious traffic, and the widespread use of encryption techniques, make the measurement, analysis and classification of Internet traffic a challenging task. The research community and many network operators are responding to these changes by designing and deploying traffic measurement and classification architectures of increasing complexity. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of the networks. Traffic classification and analysis mechanisms belong to the wide set of tools that helps the allocation, control and management of resources in IP networks. Following the development and the evolution of Internet applications, new efficient classification techniques are highly desirable to support advanced capabilities as regards network monitoring, network resource management, anomaly detection, and network auditing. This workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of traffic classification and analysis. Topics of interest ------------------ The workshop is soliciting high quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities, unpublished and not currently submitted for publication elsewhere, on topics, including but not limited to, the following: # Traffic classification algorithms and techniques # Detection, analysis, and classification of network anomalies # Distributed algorithms for anomaly detection # Platforms for on-line, real-time traffic classification # Comparisons among traffic classification techniques # Privacy-preserving classification techniques # Identification and classification of encrypted traffic # Classification algorithms for anomaly detection # Impact of sampling on network traffic classification # Applications of traffic classification # Data-reduction techniques for traffic traces # Anonymization tools and their effects on traffic classification # Traffic measurements, analysis and modeling # Packet classification at ultra-high link rates (terabits) # Fast table look-up # Internet measurements and accounting support in switches/routers # Advanced algorithms for deep packet inspection at high speed # High speed packet processing Important Dates --------------- Papers submission deadline: December 15, 2012 Notification of decision: March 15, 2013 Camera-ready deadline: April 1, 2013 Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Perspective authors are invited to submit using the EDAS system a full paper of not more than six (6) IEEE style pages including results, figures and references. Papers will be reviewed with the standard reviewing procedure. Accepted papers will be published on IEEE Digital Library.
