W-MUST: Workshop on Measurements Up and Down the STack
Helsinki, Finland (August 17, 2012)
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/wmust.php
======================================================================
Following the success of the first W-MUST workshop at SIGCOMM 2011, we are
holding a second workshop this year. W-MUST aims to bring together researchers
and practitioners in the networking and HCI communities to share new ideas and
experiences addressing the challenges of measuring networked applications on
end-user platforms for purposes related to performance, privacy, security,
diagnosis, and troubleshooting. We are particularly interested in gathering
context related to user activity or reflecting measurement-derived information
to users. Work that solely considers network-level traces is out of scope. This
workshop encourages work toward understanding how to gather the user view and
correlate it with lower-level measurements.
- Topics
We solicit short papers describing positions and work-in-progress that will
generate lively discussion. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Incentivizing and providing feedback to users.
• Techniques for gathering individual user perspectives during
measurement.
• Sampling users in the face of unpredictability.
• Data collection techniques that respect personalised user privacy.
• Correlating user experience with low level measurements.
• Disambiguating intentional from unintentional network activity.
• Disambiguating user-generated from non-user generated activity.
• Combining user, application, and network measurements on smartphone
platforms.
• Exposing hidden activities, on the network and in the cloud, to users.
• Understanding tradeoffs in host data collection between performance
impact and data quality.
• Annotating measurement of peoples' use of networked applications with
context.
• Optimising network and system resources via context-aware user
profiles.
• Quantifying user experience with both network-centric and
user-centric metrics.
• Integration of formal and informal user-centric methodologies into
measurement.
- Submission Instructions
Submissions must be as PDF files no longer than 6 pages in length. They must
include the authors' names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by
the program committee. Submissions must follow theSIGCOMM formatting
guidelines. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at
