Call for Participation
ACM CoNEXT 2011
December 6-9, 2011. Tokyo, Japan
sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM

Early registration for CoNEXT 2011 ends Monday, November 7

On behalf of the organizing committee, we are delighted to invite you
to attend the Seventh ACM International Conference on emerging
Networking EXperiments and Technologies, to be held in Tokyo, Japan,
December 6-9, 2011.
CoNEXT is a premier forum for fostering scientific and technological
exchanges between international research communities in networking. It
encourages open discussions on technology alternatives and is a forum
accommodating different viewpoints and research approaches. To improve
interaction among participants, the conference is organized as a
single-track event.

The main conference will be preceded by two topical workshops
(Workshop on Internet of Things and Service Platforms, Special
Workshop on the Internet and Disasters), and the Student Workshop,
where the next generation of researchers present their recent
achievements in an open and informal environment.

We are proud to hold CoNEXT for the first time in Asia, providing a
good opportunity for the community to learn of unique Internet
situations in Asia, and at the same time allow Asian researchers to
participate in one of the best regarded conferences in the field.
Travel and Registration information, as well as information on the
technical program is available at
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Tokyo to present and
discuss the ideas that will shape the networks of the future.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The 7th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments
and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT) will be held in Tokyo ***. The first goal of
this conference is to provide a selective and interdisciplinary forum
for research in Networking. The second goal is to foster meaningful
technical interaction among members of our community, with a single-track
program and opportunities for discussions.

ACM CoNEXT 2011 welcomes submissions based on implementation and
experimentation, as well as simulation and analytical approaches. We are
committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors
of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. We solicit papers on
emerging networking experiments, measurements, paradigms, analysis with
particular emphasis on novel and creative work. Papers reporting on the
deployment and performance of services, or exploring networks aimed at
better supporting new services, are also appreciated.

Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the
following:

* Internet measurement and modeling
* Wireless networks
* Mobile and cellular networks
* Ad hoc and sensors networks
* Economic aspects of the Internet
* Network security
* Datacenter networks
* Peer-to-peer, overlay and content distribution networks
* Online social networks
* Routing, traffic engineering and network management
* Interface among networking, communications and information theory
* New networking protocols and architectures
* Applications of network science in communication networks


Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under
consideration at another conference or journal. Compliance with the
12 pages, 10pts ACM SIGCOMM format will be strictly enforced.
Electronic proceedings will be published by ACM, and the best papers
forwarded to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible
fast-track publication.

To submit papers to the ACM CoNEXT 2011 conference, please read the
formatting guidelines provided on the conference web page and make
sure that your submission complies with these requirements.


*** About the impact of the earthquake on March 11:
---------------
Tokyo only received limited physical damages from the
earthquake. However, the organizing and steering committees are
monitoring the evolution of the situation at the Fukushima nuclear
power plant. While there does not currently seem to be any indication
that the conference may not be held safely in Tokyo in December, the
committees are aware of the concerns, and ready to take appropriate
actions if necessary.

In early May, the organizing committee surveyed recent CoNEXT
attendees on the subject of the situation in Japan.
Results are (a href="http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/survey-results.pdf")here(/a).
Based on community feedback along with assessments by various
authorities, the organizing and steering committees have decided that
the conference will go on as planned in Tokyo. Thanks to all who
participated in the survey for their feedback.
