16th IEEE Global Internet Symposium
===================================

Turin, Italy
19 April 2013


*** Call for Papers ***

The 16th IEEE Global Internet Symposium will be held in conjunction
with IEEE Infocom 2013 in Turin, Italy on 19 April 2013. All
relevant dates, location, and travel information are available from
the IEEE Infocom 2013 website (http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2013/index.php/giwksp.html).

The IEEE Global Internet Symposium aims to provide a forum for
researchers and practitioners to present and discuss advances in
Internet-related technologies. The focus of the symposium is on
experimental systems and on emerging future Internet technologies, and
especially on scaling such systems to a global scale. The Program
Committee encourages original submissions describing promising work in
progress, speculations about the future of the Internet, and
progressive position papers (which should be clearly marked as such).

The proceedings of the 16th IEEE Global Internet Symposium will be
published on-line through the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after IEEE
Infocom 2013 concludes.


*** Topics ***

Authors are invited to submit papers on issues, especially scaling
issues, related to current and future Internet technology.  Topics of
interest include, but not limited to, the following:

- Understanding Internet protocols and applications at global scale
  Internet Measurements and Methodology
- Traffic measurement, analysis, modeling, and visualization 
- Network architectures
- Handling Internet dynamics/heterogeneity (by applications and/or
  the network)
- Large-scale distributed Internet applications
- Privacy and/or security issues in the Internet
- Anomaly, intrusion and attack detection 
- Routing (unicast, multicast, anycast, etc.)
- Flow management (fairness/sharing, congestion control, differentiated
  services, etc.)
- The Internet and wireless/mobile devices, as well as intermittent
  connectivity
- P2P networking and overlay networks
- Provisioning, monitoring, and management of IP services
- Content networking (caching, content distribution, content routing,
  content services, load balancing, etc.)
- Interactions of the smart grid systems with the Global Internet.
- Impact of data centers in the global Internet.

In all cases, GI should focus on a global scope of solution, i.e., how these issues change or become interesting when they are of global scope or global coordination.


*** Important Dates ***

Paper submission:           16 December 2012 (firm)
Notification of acceptance: 16 January 2013
Camera-ready deadline:      26 January 2013
Symposium:                  19 April 2013 


*** Submission Instructions ***

Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready
format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS
(see instructions in http://www.ieee-infocom.org/) as PDF files formatted
for 8.5x11-inch paper. The manuscripts must be no longer than 6 pages. The
Programme Committee reserves the right to not review papers that
violate these formatting rules.

Submitted papers must not have been previously published, or be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. All submitted papers will be
reviewed and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance,
and quality of presentation. All accepted papers must be presented at
the symposium by one of the authors.
