Fourth IEEE/IFIP Workshop on End-to-End Monitoring Techniques and Services (E2EMON'06) - CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on End-to-End Monitoring Techniques and Services (E2EMON) 3th April 2006, Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center, Canada In conjunction with the 2006 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations & Management Symposium (NOMS'06)

E2EMON'06 is the fourth workshop in a series focusing on advances in network monitoring technology. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange ideas and experiences on next-generation monitoring systems for emerging technologies such as Grid, overlay, p2p and Ad hoc networks, and end-to-end path measurements. E2EMON will be co-located with the 2006 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations & Management Symposium (NOMS'06), which is the major network management conference in the year 2006. The workshop provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate through panels and group work. The program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of e2e monitoring. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Monitoring overlay networks and P2P services
• Ad-hoc and sensor network monitoring
• Monitoring Grid & pervasive computing environment
• Path characteristics monitoring
• Large-scalable monitoring techniques
• Active and programmable monitoring
• Traffic monitoring and data mining
• Real-time monitoring
• Visualization of monitoring information
• High-speed network monitoring
• Multicast network/service monitoring
• Overlay monitoring services
• Monitoring of service level agreements
• Monitoring models, architectures and systems
• Monitoring platforms and Distributed and centralized monitoring prototypes
• Languages for packet and distributed monitoring

3rd April 2006, Vancouver, Canada, co-located with IEEE NOMS 2006

The recent wave of VOIP deployment and its take-off as a pragmatic solution for cost effective communication alternative is challenged by major security and management requirements. VOIP networks are potential targets for multiple attack vectors - SPAM over Internet telephony, denial of service, call hijacking, and fraudulent usage - for which the current defence solutions are still incumbent. New conceptual paradigms and practical short term solutions for assuring and managing VOIP are demanded from both the research community and the operational actors.
The VOIP workshop, to be held in conjunction with NOMS 2006, covers the security and management issues in VOIP networks. Research papers on VOIP security, management, state of the art introduction to VOIP security and management, operational experience and ongoing research activities are encouraged to be submitted. Papers covering the following list of topics as well as related issues are encouraged for submission to the workshop.
The accepted papers will be published in proceedings with an IEEE ISBN number

Topics

• Management and security issues in VoIP systems
• Intrusion prevention and detection techniques and algorithms for VoIP networks
• Active response mechanisms for defending VoIP networks
• Security assessment and vulnerability discovery for VoIP
• Security management for VoIP deployments
• Issues and challenges in VOIP management and operations
• Peer-to-peer management and configuration for VoIP
• Peer-to-peer security issues for VoIP deployments
• SPAM over Internet telephony (SPIT) detection and prevention in VoIP networks
• Experience and position papers on VoIP operations and deployment
• Enterprise security policies for VoIP
• Enterprise and carrier network architectures for managing secure VoIP
• Session Border Control management and security features
• Security issues with NAT traversal mechanisms
• Management of NAT traversal techniques for VoIPtheir management
• Management and security issues for IMS architectures
• Management and security issues for NGN architectures

Organizing comitee

April 7, 2006, Vancouver, Canada, www.bcn2006.org (In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP Network Operations & Management Symposium (NOMS 2006))

In Broadband Convergence Networks (BcN), also known as Next Generation Networks (NGN), various types of convergence will take place such as convergence of wired and wireless networks, and convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting. For broadband end-to-end mobile networking, the broadband wired networks (such as IP/MPLS with WDM optical networks) will be converged with wireless networks (such as IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN, 802.16 Wireless MAN and 3G/4G wireless cellular networks). Also, the IP-based telecommunication network will be converged with broadcast network to provide IP-based high-quality broadband multimedia broadcasting and multicasting. Several countries of strong Internet infrastructure are going to provide initial BcN commercial services soon.

For efficient service provisioning on the broadband converged networks, well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions with traffic engineering are essential. ITU-T has been operating a special expert group called FGNGN (Focus Group on Next Generation Networks) to provide the architecture of NGN, but the network operations and management issues have not fully studied yet. IETF has some working groups on network operations and managements of IP/MPLS networks, but the operations and management for integrated networking with wired & wireless, telecommunication and broadcasting networks has not been covered yet.

The goal of this workshop is to gather people with different backgrounds to share the current status on standardization efforts, technology development, end users' requirements, research issues as well as regulatory issues of BcN and to discuss challenges and possible solutions in the broadband networking for QoS-guaranteed real-time multimedia services on BcN. Areas of interest include the architectures, applications, and management issues of BcN.

• Architecture and Standardization
• Applications and Service Provisioning
• QoS Management
• Traffic Engineering
• Inter-domain Networking
• QoS-guaranteed multimedia service provisioning across broadband wired & wireless networks
• Converged networking issues for telecommunication and broadcasting
• Broadband Access networking with hybrid fiber optic and wireless network
• Security issues on the convergence networks
• Accounting and Billing
• Seamless service provisioning with roaming and handover
• Regulatory Issues
• Automated resource management and service provisioning
• Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking
• Virtual Networks and Operators

Paper Submission

Authors are requested to submit a paper up to 10 pages (single-spaced single-column pages). The contribution must be original and unpublished. Papers must be submitted online in a PDF format via the "Paper Submission" link that can be found on the BcN 2006 webpage. Paper format must follow the LNCS style available from Springer-Verlag (see the author's instructions for Springer's LNCS series). The selected papers will be published in a proceedings with an IEEE ISBN number.
