TMA 2018 includes three new events within its main program:
+ TMA Experts Summit on June 26: a series of invited talks and panels
from top experts worldwide (http://tma.ifip.org/2018/tma-experts/)
+ Special Session on Hands-on Network Traffic Measurement Analysis,
submission deadline on March 16
(http://tma.ifip.org/2018/special-session-cfp/)
+ Demo Session, submission deadline on April 20
(http://tma.ifip.org/2018/call-for-demos/)

The conference is co-located with the traditional TMA PhD school,
running on Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 (http://tma.ifip.org/2018/phd-school/)
TMA 2018 hosts the 2nd edition of the workshop on Mobile Network
Measurement (MNM'18) on Monday the 25, submission deadline on April 20
(http://tma.ifip.org/2018/mnm-workshop/)

TMA Conference 2018 provides several awards:
+ Best Paper Award
+ Best Open Dataset Award
+ Best Demo Award
+ Authors of selected top TMA 2018 papers will be invited to submit an
extended version of their paper to IEEE Transactions on Network and
Service Management (Impact Factor 3.134) for fast-track processing.


***Call for Papers***

As we witness the explosion of demand for bandwidth and exciting changes
in the ways we do networking brought about by SDN, virtualization,
Cloud, IoT and ubiquitous broadband wireless, we are facing new
challenges in measurement and analysis across the entire network stack,
from the physical layer up to applications and services in the Cloud.
TMA 2018 is therefore inviting submissions presenting new ideas,
experiences, and results in collection, processing, analysis and
presentation of network and traffic data, which may address performance
enhancement, monitoring, management, security, privacy or other uses of
network data.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

+ Traffic measurement, analysis, characterization, visualization and
classification
+ The use of Data Analytics, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning in network measurement and analysis
+ The use of Big Data, High-Rate Processing and Data Reduction in
network measurement, analysis and visualization
+ Measurements of data centers or cloud-based systems
+ Measurements of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Virtual Network
Functions (VNF)
+ Measurements of home, mobile and wireless traffic including devices
with multiple network paths
+ Application-layer measurements, including web services, social
networks, mobile applications
+ Measurements of Quality of Service and Quality of Experience, for
network services using audio, video, virtual/augmented reality and gaming
+ Measurements on testbeds, experimental networks or prototype networks
+ Simulation and modelling for network measurements, analysis and
visualization
+ Applications of traffic analysis for security,
anomaly/vulnerability/attack detection and user profiling/privacy
+ Identification and classification of traffic, including encrypted and
proprietary protocols
+ Techniques for and implications of privacy preservation, enhancement
and anonymization in the context of traffic measurements
+ Measurements of network performance and network structure
+ Platforms for measurement, troubleshooting, management, and control of
operational networks
+ Current and emerging regulatory frameworks for measurement, analysis
and privacy
+ Measurement of traditional and new protocols (e.g. TCP, MPTCP, HTTP/2,
QUIC) and modes of communication (e.g. NFC and IoT)
+ Validation and repeatability of measurements, shared datasets,
collaborative platforms


***Submission Instructions***

Authors should only submit original work that has not been published
before and is not under submission to any other venue. Submissions must
not exceed 8 pages in IEEE 2-column style, including references.
Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be rejected
without review. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in
the IFIP Open Digital Library, with open access, and submitted to IEEE
Xplore. Papers must be submitted to the website
