Call For Papers
IEEE LANMAN has an established tradition as a forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in local and metropolitan area networking. Cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking. A further tradition of IEEE LANMAN 2016 consists in identifying, every year, a central theme among those most actual and hot in our field. This year, the symposium’s central theme is Adaptive, Agile and Fluid networking, a broad topic encompassing autonomic and reconfigurable networking, network function virtualization, software defined networking, and so on. One aspect of this theme reflects recent disruptive innovations in data center networks, enterprise networks, and edge clouds networks. Internet-of-Things hits another side of the theme to identify new technologies and architectures to support various requirements from different industry sectors, such as smart city in conjunction with data analytics.
Topics
- Novel data center network architectures, technologies, and protocols
- Mobile Edge Computing and architecture innovation
- Software defined networking and network function virtualization in the network edge
- Name-to-name communications and name-based abstractions
- Energy-efficiency, reliability, resource allocation, and pricing in data centers
- Wireless access technologies (WiFi, LTE, etc) and their integration in (and extension for) 5G networks
- Performance measurement and modeling
- Impact of Internet-of-Things and Machine-to-machine communications
- Access networks for densely located users
- Wired access technologies and architectures including Ethernet in the first mile, EPONs, FTTx, etc.
- Network management related to edge networks
- Local-area and metropolitan-area network security
- LAN-based and MAN-based applications (gaming, distributed computing, media distribution to and in the home, enterprise applications, ambient technology, wearable-computing)
