1st IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on NETWORK EMBEDDED MANAGEMENT & APPLICATIONS

=============== NEMA 2010 ===============

October 28, 2010, Niagara Falls, Canada

Co-located with IEEE/IFIP CNSM

*****   CALL FOR PAPERS   *****

Modern network devices are becoming increasingly intelligent and
programmable. Examples range from router scripting environments to fully
programmable server blades.  As a result, networked applications are no
longer constrained just to servers that are interconnected via a
network, but can migrate into and become embedded within the network
itself.  This promises to accelerate the current trend towards systems
that are increasingly autonomous and to a certain degree self-managing.
The next frontier lies in applications that go beyond traditional
management and control functions and that are becoming increasingly
decentralized, not constrained in scope to individual systems. Examples
include decentralized monitoring, gossip-based configuration, network
event correlation inside the network across multiple systems, overlay
control protocols, and network-aware multi-media applications.  At the
same time, another trend looks at utilizing increased programmability of
networks to add more networking intelligence outside, not inside the
network.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a platform at which researchers
and practitioners can discuss the latest trends and ongoing research in
network-embeddable applications and contrast different emerging
approaches of how to best leverage increased network programmability.
The program committee would like to encourage submissions in this area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   - Network embedded applications

   - Programmable networking infrastructure

   - Open Router Platforms

   - Applications for programmable networking infrastructure and Open
Router Platforms

   - Software Defined Networking and Manageability

   - Network embedded management

   - Decentralized management algorithms

   - Intelligent network instrumentation

   - Instrumentation and manageability integration of network-embedded
applications

   - Network management implications of programmable network devices

   - DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) enabled management and control
applications

   - Network-enabling the Cloud

   - Intelligent networking inside the Cloud

   - Context and energy-aware networking; "Embedded Green"

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer.  In
addition, authors of selected papers from the workshop may be invited to
contribute an expanded version as a contributed chapter in a forthcoming
book by Springer on the same topic.
