CoNEXT 2017 - International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies

The CoNEXT 2017 conference seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer networks and its applications. We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics. The list of topics includes (in alphabetical order):

Big Data platforms with applications to network management, security, measurements
Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays
Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures
Internet measurement and modeling
Innovative uses of network data beyond communication
Networking aspects of datacenters and cloud computing
Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures
Network control and management, including SDN, NFV and network programmability
Network, transport, and application-layer protocols
Networking aspects of ubiquitous computing, including Internet-of-Things and Smart Cities
Networking aspects of online social networks
Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications
Routing and traffic engineering
Security and privacy aspects of networks, protocols, and applications
Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking
Wireless and cellular networks

We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We ask authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission.

Submission

CoNEXT welcomes submission of both long and short papers (2-column, 10pt ACM format). Long papers are the more traditional and complete form to present technical work, and should be no more than 12 pages (and up to 2 additional pages for references). Short papers are the preferred vehicle for contributions whose novelty and impact show the same technical excellence, and whose description fits within 6 pages (with 1 additional page for references). Short papers will be reviewed with a more open mind towards the scope of evaluation or breadth of topics compared to long papers. Note that position papers, critiques of networking research, and ideas that are not yet fully complete or evaluated are a better fit for the HotNets workshop. We recommend that authors check both CFPs before submitting.
