ICNP 2008 will be held in Orlando,Florida, on October 19-22, 2008. Papers with significant researchcontributions to the field of network protocols are solicited forsubmission. Papers cannot be previously published nor under review byanother conference or journal. Topics of interest include, but are notlimited to:</p></p>1. Protocol testing, analysis, design and implementation2. Measurement and monitoring of protocols3. Protocols designed for specific functions, such as: routing, flow and congestion control, QoS, signaling, security, network management, or resiliency4. Protocols designed for specific networks, such as: wireless and mobile networks, Ad hoc and sensor networks, virtual networks, and ubiquitous networks</p></p>Papers must deal specifically with protocols. Papers of generalnetworking nature where protocols are only a secondary focus will beconsidered only if they are of exceptional high quality and only avery limited number of such papers will be included in the technicalprogram.ICNP will select an accepted full paper for the best paper award.</p></p>For the first time, ICNP is using a double-blind review process. Theidentity of authors and referees will not be revealed to eachother. To ensure blind reviewing, authors names and affiliationsshould not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should bemade in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.</p></p>IMPORTANT DATES Abstract registration: April 19, 2008 11:59 PM EDT Paper submission: April 25, 2008 11:59 PM EDT Notification of acceptance: July 29, 2008Camera ready version: September 5, 2008 ORGANIZING COMMITTEES EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:David Lee, Ohio State University, USA (chair)Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Tech, USAKen Calvert, University of Kentucky, USATeruo Higashino, Osaka University, JapanRaymond Miller, University of Maryland, USA</p></p>GENERAL CHAIRS:Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University, USAMohamed Gouda, University of Texas, Austin, USA</p></p>PROGRAM CHAIRS:Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USAK.
