Overview
The second Hot-ICE workshop builds on the success of the first workshop last
year and seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners working on
network and service management in the Internet, cloud, and enterprise domains.
The scope of Hot-ICE includes all aspects of network and service management.
This includes traditional network management concerns, management of network
services and/or services enabled by networks, management of clean-slate network
architectures, and clean-slate designs of management architectures. We seek new
ideas and experimental or operational insights that help make Internet, cloud,
and enterprise networks and services more secure, more systematically or
automatically configurable, more scalable, and able to achieve more predictable
performance, better accountability, greater fault tolerance, and faster fault
recovery.
Topics
Topics of specific interest include but are not restricted to:
- Novel network and service management systems
- Greenfield network management architectures and management of new network architectures
- The use of data-mining techniques in network and service management
- Network and service management aspects of existing and emerging network architectures (e.g., data-center networks, cloud architectures, data-centric architectures, software-defined architectures, mobile networks)
- Management approaches that involve cross-domain and cross-layer techniques
- Management techniques and tools for the verification, synthesis, diagnosis, and evaluation of network operations and policies
- Novel pricing strategies for Internet, cloud, and enterprise network services
We invite short position papers or work-in-progress reports. Hot-ICE will
particularly favor interesting and new ideas and early results that lead to
well-founded position papers, i.e., papers that illustrate a firm understanding
of the problem and can position the contribution in the broader context of
related work. Once fully developed and evaluated, we envision that work
presented at Hot-ICE will be published at relevant, high-quality conferences.
Papers will be selected primarily based on technical merit and originality, with
additional consideration given to their potential to generate discussion at the
workshop.
Hot-ICE evolved from earlier Internet Network Management (INM) workshops, which
more recently combined with the Workshop on Research on Enterprise Networking
(WREN). As such, Hot-ICE, while a new workshop, is serving an established
community, but with a broader scope, in recognition of the evolving concerns of
the community. Hot-ICE is modeled after other "Hot"-style workshops, seeking to
provide a venue for discussing innovative ideas and early results in network and
service management that have the potential to significantly influence the
community.
Please contact the program co-chairs if you have questions concerning the relevance of your topic of interest.
Submissions
Submitted papers must be no longer than six 8.5" x 11" pages. Your paper should
be typeset in two-column format in 10-point type on 12 point (single-spaced)
leading, with a text block no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep. Submissions are
single-blind; authors should include their names and affiliations as part of
their submissions. Papers must be submitted via the Web submission form.
All papers will be available online to registered attendees before the workshop. If your accepted paper should not be published prior to the event, please notify
production@usenix.org. The papers will be available online to everyone beginning
on the day of the workshop, April 24, 2012.
Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered.
Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication on the
USENIX Hot-ICE '12 Web site; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as
confidential.
Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of
previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud.
USENIX, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits
these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. See
the USENIX Conference Submissions Policy for details. Note, however, that we expect that many papers accepted for Hot-ICE '12
will eventually be extended as full papers suitable for presentation
at future conferences. Questions? Contact your program co-chairs, hotice12chairs@usenix.org, or the USENIX office, submissionspolicy@usenix.org.
