CoNEXT 2020 : ACM Conference on Emerging Network Experiment and Technology

CoNEXT 2020 will be a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The conference is single track and features a high-quality technical program with significant opportunities for individual and small-group technical and social interactions among a diverse set of participants. The CoNEXT conferences focus on stimulating exchanges between various international research communities.

The CoNEXT 2020 conference seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer networks and its applications. We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking topics. The list of topics includes (in alphabetical order):

Big Data platforms with applications to network management, security, measurements
Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays
Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures
Experience and lessons learned by deploying large-scale networked systems
Internet measurement and modeling
Internet economics and policy
Innovative uses of network data beyond communication
Mobile and Wireless Network Protocols and Applications
Networking aspects of datacenters and cloud computing
Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures
Network aspects of Web, Video, and Virtual Reality applications
Network control and management, including SDN, NFV and network programmability
Network, transport, and application-layer protocols
Networking aspects of ubiquitous computing, including Internet-of-Things and Smart Cities
Networking aspects of online social networks
Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications
Reproducibility
Routing and traffic engineering
Security and privacy aspects of network applications and protocols
Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking

We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We ask authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest of their work will be the implications of their results in networking. As such CoNEXT is, e.g., not looking for papers addressing only the physical layer. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission.
