E2E monitoring is essential for both network protocols and management operations. E2E monitoring enables efficient implementation of many network management services including bandwidth prediction, traffic engineering and capacity planning, service tuning and restoration, service level agreement enforcement, and intrusion/attacks detection, as well as many transport protocol services including adaptive congestions/rate control, adaptive multimedia transportation and error concealment, and dynamic overlay and P2P network organization.

This one-day workshop offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange ideas and experience that foster the development of generic and custom monitoring for next-generation Internet services. In addition to paper presentations, the workshop provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate through panels and group work. The program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of End2End monitoring. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Topics
  • Path characteristics monitoring
  • Scalable monitoring techniques
  • Adaptive monitoring systems
  • Embedded-based monitoring systems
  • Active and programmable monitoring
  • Event filtering
  • Correlation-based monitoring
  • Traffic monitoring and data mining
  • Real-time monitoring

  • Visualization of monitoring information

  • High-speed network monitoring

  • Ad-hoc and sensor network monitoring

  • Multicast network/service monitoring

  • Overlay monitoring services

  • Grid Monitoring

  • Monitoring of service level agreement

  • Distributed application steering

  • Monitoring and measurements

  • Open monitoring platforms

  • Distributed and centralized monitoring prototypes
