CFP: Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) Conference 2023
by Marcel Flores 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi All, See below for this year's CFP for PAM. The conference will be virtual this year, with a submission deadline of October 28 and the registration deadline a week before. -Marcel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Paper Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) Conference 2023 The Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) conference brings together researchers and operators to discuss novel and emerging work in the area of network measurement and analysis. PAM is inclusive of all areas of network measurement, but focuses on systems-based research and real-world data. Indeed, measurement technology is needed at all layers of the network stack, ranging from power profiling of hardware components to virtualization in data centers to application profiling and even user experience. Work with operational impact or relevance to the broader network research community is especially welcome, as are early and promising measurement techniques and replications of existing studies. Original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the following areas are invited: - Applications (e.g., web, streaming, games) - Data centers and cloud computing - Energy - IoT (e.g., smart home, SCADA, ICS, embedded systems) - Measurement tools and software - Network security and privacy - Overlays (e.g., P2P, CDNs) - Physical Layer - Routing - Social networks - Topology - Transport/congestion control - User behavior and experience, QoE - Virtualization (e.g., SDN, NFV) - Visualization - Wireless and mobile PAM 2023 will be held virtually. *Important Dates* - *Paper Registration* 21 October, 2022 - *Paper Submission* 28 October, 2022 - *Notification to Authors* 21 December, 2022 - *Camera-ready Due* 1 Feb, 2023 - *Virtual Conference* 21-23 March, 2023 *Submission Guidelines* Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. PAM welcomes both short and long submissions. This includes early-stage contributions of work that is less mature but shows exciting promise, articulates a high-level vision, and describes challenging future directions for the community or validate, verify important results, or present new ideas that challenge existing assumptions. Submissions should describe original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss. We will consider paper submissions that extend previously published short, or preliminary papers (including PAM short papers), following the model of the ACM SIGCOMM policy. *Replication Track* Works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM’s scope. To this end, this year will feature a replication track explicitly devoted to work which replicates existing findings. Submissions to this track should offer comparisons and analysis to the systems, settings, and data used in the work they replicate. Submissions must be explicitly opted into the replication track via HotCRP. As described in similar replication tracks (e.g. USENIX SOUPS), replication papers: - Will be held to the same technical standards as other submissions, - Should use up to date methodologies and avoid using outdated techniques only because they appeared in previous studies, - May repeat procedures of existing studies, or explore their extensibility, - And should provide an explanation of the value of performing a replication study. *Submission Requirements* All submissions must satisfy the following requirements: - Follow Springer LNCS format (see https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) - Short papers: Up to 12 pages for technical content (up to 5 pages for appendices and references) - Long papers: Up to 24 pages for technical content (up to 5 pages for appendices and references) - Note that reviewers are not required to read appendices. Everything needed to evaluate the paper should appear in the first 12 pages for short and 24 pages for long papers. - Anonymization: Reviewing will be double-blind - Do not include names or affiliations of authors in the submission. - Refer to your prior work in the third person. - Make a best effort to anonymize system names that would give you away. - If you have any concerns about how to anonymize your paper while maintaining its integrity, contact the PC chairs. - Submit via HotCRP, link to be provided at a later date. *Ethical Considerations* Submissions are required to include a statement (in the main paper, not in the Appendix) describing any ethical concerns raised by the paper. If no concerns are raised, this should be stated explicitly. PAM follows the standard set by the Internet Measurement Conference (from which we base this section). Papers describing experiments with users or sensitive user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information) must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (https://catalog.caida.org/paper/2012_menlo_report_actual_formatted) for further information on ethical principles and the Allman/Paxson IMC 2007 paper (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) for guidance on ethical data sharing. Note that submitting research for approval by each author’s institutional ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient – in cases where the PC has concerns about the ethics of the work in a submission, the PC will consider the ethical soundness and justification of any paper, just as it does its technical soundness. Authors unsure about ethical issues are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs. *Awards* There will be two awards for papers of exceptional merit. The *Best Paper Award* will recognize the paper that is deemed by the committee to have the highest merit of all the submissions. The *Best Community Artifact Award* will be given to the best paper that makes relevant datasets, source code, or platforms available to the public by the time the camera-ready is submitted. These artifacts must be sufficiently documented such that any researcher can use them to repeat the results or procedures described in the paper, and they must be placed in a sufficiently long-lived archival repository (e.g.,Github, Bitbucket, or CRAWDAD). *Program Committee Chairs* Anna Brunstrom (Karlstad University) Marcel Flores (Edgio)

[Apologies for cross-posting] 1st GNNet Workshop Graph Neural Networking Workshop Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2022 December 9, 2022 https://bnn.upc.edu/workshops/gnnet2022/ We are glad to announce the first edition of the “Graph Neural Networking Workshop 2022”, which is organized as part of ACM CoNEXT 2022, to be held in Rome, Italy. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and be made available in the ACM Digital Library. SPECIAL SESSION ============== GNNet would include a dedicated special session where the top teams competing at the third edition of the Graph Neural Networking Challenge (https://bnn.upc.edu/challenge/gnnet2022/) would be invited to present the winning solutions of the challenge, providing an excellent complement to the main program. IMPORTANT DATES ================ Paper registration deadline: September 9, 2022 Paper submission deadline: September 16, 2022 Paper acceptance notifications: October 17, 2022 Camera ready due: October 25, 2022 Submissions’ site -- https://conext-gnnet2022.hotcrp.com/ MOTIVATION =========== While AI/ML is today mainstream in domains such as computer vision and speech recognition, traditional AI/ML approaches have produced below-par results in many networking applications. Proposed AI/ML solutions in networking do not properly generalize, can be unreliable and ineffective in real-network deployments, and are in general unable to properly deal with the strong dynamics and changes (i.e., concept drift) occurring in networking applications. Graphs are emerging as an abstraction to represent complex data. Computer Networks are fundamentally graphs, and many of their relevant characteristics – such as topology and routing – are represented as graph-structured data. Machine learning, especially deep representation learning, on graphs is an emerging field with a wide array of applications. Within this field, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been recently proposed to model and learn over graph-structured data. Due to their unique ability to generalize over graph data, GNNs are a central tool to apply AI/ML techniques to networking applications. GOALS ====== The goal of GNNet is to leverage graph data representations and modern GNN technology to advance the application of AI/ML in networking. GNNet provides the first dedicated venue to present and discuss the latest advancements on GNNs and general AI/ML on graphs applied to networking problems. GNNet will bring together leaders from academia and industry to showcase recent methodological advances of GNNs and their application to networking problems, covering a wide range of applications and practical challenges for large-scale training and deployment. We expect GNNet would serve as the meeting point for the growing community on this fascinating domain, which has currently not a specific forum for sharing and discussion. The GNNet workshop seeks for contributions in the field of GNNs and graph-based learning applied to data communication networking problems, including the analysis of on-line and off-line massive datasets, network traffic traces, topological data, cybersecurity, performance measurements, and more. GNNet also encourages novel and out-of-the-box approaches and use cases related to the application of GNNs in networking. The workshop will allow researchers and practitioners to discuss the open issues related to the application of GNNs and graph-based learning to networking problems and to share new ideas and techniques for big data analysis and AI/ML in data communication networks. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================= We encourage both mature and positioning submissions describing systems, platforms, algorithms and applications addressing all facets of the application of GNNs and Machine learning on graphs to the analysis of data communication networks. We are particularly interesting in disruptive and novel ideas that permit to unleash the power of GNNs in the networking domain. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics: * GNNs and graph-based learning in networking applications * Representation Learning on networking-related graphs * Application of GNNs to network and service management * Application of GNNs to network security and anomaly detection * Application of GNNs to detection of malware, botnets, intrusions, phishing, and abuse detection * Adversarial learning for GNN-driven networking applications * GNNs for data generation and digital twining in networking * Temporal and dynamic GNNs in networking * Graph-based analytics for visualization of complex networking applications * Libraries, benchmarks, and datasets for GNN-based networking applications * Scalability of GNNs for networking applications * Explainability, fairness, accountability, transparency, and privacy issues in GNN-based networking * Challenges, pitfalls, and negative results in applying GNNs to networking applications SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ======================= Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. Papers must include authors names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the PC. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and be made available in the ACM Digital Library. WORKSHOP CHAIRS ================ * Pere Barlet-Ros, BNN-UPC, Spain * Pedro Casas, AIT, Austria * Franco Scarselli, University of Siena, Italy * Xiangle Cheng, Huawei, China * Albert Cabellos, BNN-UPC, Spain PROGRAM COMMITTEE =================== * Lilian Berton, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil * Albert Bifet, Télécom ParisTech & University of Waikato, New Zealand * Laurent Ciavaglia, Rakuten, Japan * Constantine Dovrolis, Georgia Tech, USA * Lluís Fàbrega, UdG, Spain * Jerome François, INRIA, France * Fabien Geyer, Technical University of Munich, Germany * Matthias Herlich, Salzburg Research, Austria * Zied Ben Houidi, Huawei Technologies, France * Wolfgang Kellerer, Technical University of Munich, Germany * Federico Larroca, Universidad de la República, Uruguay * Alina Lazar, Youngstown State University, USA * Gonzalo Mateos, University of Rochester, USA * Christoph Neumann, Broadpeak, France * Diego Perino, Telefonica Research, Spain * Alejandro Ribeiro, University of Pennsylvania, USA * Dario Rossi, Huawei Technologies, France * Krzysztof Rusek, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland * José Suárez-Varela.
