(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP) CALL FOR PAPERS
The 28th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing March 18-22, 2013, Coimbra, Portugal TRACK ON NETWORKING (NETS) http://floyd.di.ubi.pt/sac2013/ SAC 2013 For the past twenty-seven years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2013 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and will be held at the Institute of Engineering of the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal. Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical sessions. For additional information, please check the SAC web page: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2013/ TRACK ON NETWORKING A special track on Networking will be held at SAC 2013. This track aims to be a forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners, in academia and industry to share new ideas, experiences and results, and to present their latest findings in any aspects of computer communications, networks and services. Original and unpublished papers and tutorials (half or full day) are invited in all areas of networking. The Track will emphasize the design, implementation, management and applications of computer communications, networks and services. Topics of mostly theoretical nature are also welcome, provided there is clear practical potential in applying the results of such work. Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: · Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks · Addressing and Location Management · Congestion and Flow Control · Content Distribution · Data Centers and Cloud Computing · Green Communications · Grid Networking · High-speed Networks · Internet Services and Applications · Middleware Support for Networking · Mobile and Wireless Networks · Multicast, Broadcast and Anycast · Multimedia Communications · Network Architectures · Network Control and Management · Network Modeling and Simulation · Network Performance · Network Protocols · Network Measurement · Network Security · Optical Networks · Peer-to-Peer Networks · Quality of Service and Quality of Experience · Resource Allocation and Management · Routing and Switching · Scheduling and Buffer Management · Self-organizing Networks · Social Computing and Networks · Survivability and Fault Tolerance · Traffic Engineering and Characterization · Traffic Classification · Transport Protocols · Ubiquitous Networks · Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks · Virtual and Overlay Networks GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION Original and unpublished papers are solicited from the above-mentioned areas. The file format should be PDF. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate double blind review. Only the title should be shown at the first page without the author's information. Papers must be formatted according to the template which is available at the SAC 2013 website. Paper size is limited to six pages (covered by registration fee) plus two additional pages (at extra charge), being the total of eight pages maximum according to the above mentioned template. For papers accepted as posters, the length is two pages covered by registration fee plus one additional page (at extra charge), being the total of three pages maximum. A few key words should be provided. A paper cannot be sent to more than one track. Original manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format through the conference web site: https://www.softconf.com/d/sac2013/ Paper registration for the conference is required for each accepted paper and allows the paper to be printed in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC must present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers will result in excluding the papers from the ACM/IEEE digital library. For any other question regarding this Track, please contact the Chairs at [email protected] IMPORTANT DATES September 21, 2012: Full paper submission deadline November 10, 2012: Author notification November 30, 2012: Camera-ready paper due STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION (SRC) PROGRAM The Student Research Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in their areas of interest. Active graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit abstracts (minimum of 2-page and maximum of 4-page) of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in the above areas covered by the Track on Networking. Abstracts must be authored by students only. Faculty advisor(s) cannot be listed as authors on the submission or on the final poster presentation. The student author must be currently enrolled in a University or College and have active ACM (or SIGAPP) student membership. For 2013, only individual graduate students’ research is accepted for consideration. No group projects. The work must not be submitted to any another SRC program, journal or conference while it is under consideration for SAC 2013 SRC Program. Student research abstracts can be submitted through the following link for the SRC START system: https://www.softconf.com/d/sac-src2013 Accepted research abstracts presented by their sole student authors will be published in SAC CD Proceedings with clear indication of “Student Research Abstract - Work in Progress" or something similar. Student registration is required. Authors of accepted abstracts are eligible to apply for the SIGAPP Student Travel Award Program (STAP). Authors of presented abstracts will be invited to the SAC banquet event. The student authors are required to attend the conference and present their work in poster and discussion format. No author substitution is allowed. A committee will judge the presentations and select the top three winners for cash prizes. The winners will be recognized during the SAC banquet. Only student authors present at the banquet get the prizes, if not present, no prize. The prizes for the top three winners are $500, $300, and $200, respectively. Important Dates for SRC Program: October 31, 2012: Research abstracts November 30, 2012: Author notification March 19, 2013: Presentations TRACK CHAIRS Mário M.
