IEEE Communications Magazine - Monitoring and Troubleshooting Multi-domain =
Networks using Measurement Federations
CALL FOR PAPERS - Announcement (EXTENDED DEADLINE: APRIL 1 2013)
-------------------------------------------------------------

Aims and Scope

In both the scientific and corporate worlds, users, resources, and data are=
 often physically distributed, making networks increasingly important for a=
ll operations. Enormous progress has been made in increasing the capacity a=
nd accessibility of networking infrastructures, which in turn has fostered =
wider adoption of Cloud and Grid environments. Unfortunately, these advance=
s have not directly translated into improved performance for all applicatio=
ns and users; instead, network performance problems become even more subtle=
 and detrimental as the capacity of the network increases, and troubleshoot=
ing them on multi-domain network paths is highly challenging. These problem=
s may be as benign as congestion from other network users, or as serious as=
 packet loss caused by one or more intermediate-domain infrastructure and a=
rchitectural flaws.

Troubleshooting performance problems on multi-domain networks requires a gr=
eat deal of effort and expertise, as well as measurement policy agreements =
that mutually benefit domains within measurement federations. Novel approac=
hes are needed to foster wider adoption of explicit measurement federations=
 such as perfSONAR, SamKnows, Grenouille and M-Lab involving co-operating a=
gents in collaborating vendor organizations as well as user communities. Th=
ese approaches may also be suitable for implicit measurement federations se=
en in content-delivery networks involving multiple service providers that c=
o-operate to reduce operating costs, while providing satisfactory end-user =
experience. Building upon current end-to-end measurement federation related=
 standards-development efforts - at Open Grid Forum (OGF), IETF IP Performa=
nce Metrics (IPPM), IEEE 802.1 ag, ITU-T Y.1731, and Metro Ethernet Forum (=
MEF) - can benefit the interoperability and sustainability of explicit and =
implicit measurement federations.

In addition, sophisticated tools are required to monitor multi-domain netwo=
rks and to detect, localize and diagnose performance problems in real-time.=
 As networks increase in capacity, and new paradigms such as Software Defin=
ed Networking emerge to aid in traffic management, performance monitoring t=
ools must be scalable and capable of detecting performance issues in a time=
ly manner. The monitoring and diagnosing tools must comply with measurement=
 federation policies, and aid network operators when troubleshooting percei=
ved abnormalities, as well as help network middleware and intelligent appli=
cations to work around problems, ultimately minimizing the impact to end us=
ers.

This special issue will cover novel techniques and standardization efforts =
in the area of monitoring and troubleshooting of multi-domain networks usin=
g measurement federations. Topics to be covered include, but are not limite=
d to:

        =95 Algorithms and Techniques for Automated Network Troubleshooting
        =95 Architectures for Federated Measurement Collection and Sharing
        =95 Intra and Inter Domain Monitoring Strategies
        =95 Measurement Federation related Standards-development Efforts
        =95 Monitoring of Software Defined, Content-delivery and Overlay Ne=
tworks
        =95 Troubleshooting of Hybrid Packet and Circuit Networks
        =95 Network-aware Middleware for High Speed Networks
        =95 Measurements from Cloud and Grid Environments
        =95 Security and Policy Considerations for Federated Measurements
        =95 New Policy-based Network Monitoring/Analysis Tools and Paradigms
        =95 End-to-End ("Disk-to-Disk") Performance Problem Troubleshooting
        =95 Scalability of Measurement Methods and Infrastructures
        =95 Embedded Active Monitoring based Collaborative Management
        =95 Case Studies of End-to-End or Network Performance Troubleshooti=
ng
        =95 Federations to jointly troubleshoot Home-area and Wide-area Net=
works

Submission Guidelines

Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible=
 to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the I=
EEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.=
 Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.com=
soc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is very important to note th=
at the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, a=
nd the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 w=
ords. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted throu=
gh the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee=
) by the deadline. Select "November 2013/Monitoring and Troubleshooting Mul=
ti-domain Networks using Measurement Federations" from the drop down menu.

Important Dates

Manuscript Submission Due: April 1, 2013 (EXTENDED DEADLINE)
Acceptance Notification: July 1, 2013
Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2013
Publication: November 2013
