The Second International Conference on Internet Monitoring and Protection ICIMP 2007 July 1-6, 2007 - Silicon Valley, USA |
| Call for Papers |
The International Conference on Internet Monitoring and Protection (ICIMP 2007) initiates a series of special events targeting security, performance, vulnerabilities in Internet, as well as disaster prevention and recovery. Dedicated events focus on measurement, monitoring and lessons learnt in protecting the user.
We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. ICIMP 2007 will offer tutorials, plenary sessions, and panel sessions. The ICIMP 2007 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society and posted on Xplore IEEE system. A best paper award will be granted by the IARIA’s award selection committee. The Advisory Committee will periodically report special events relating to our community.
The conference has the following specialized events:
TRASI: Internet traffic surveillance and interception
IPERF: Internet performance
RTSEC: Security for Internet-based real-time systems
DISAS: Disaster prevention and recovery
EMERG: Networks and applications emergency services
MONIT: End-to-end sampling, measurement, and monitoring
REPORT: Experiences & lessons learnt in securing networks and applications
USSAF: User safety, privacy, and protection over Internet
We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited topic areas. Industrial presentations are not subject to these constraints. Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

INSTRUCTION FOR THE AUTHORS
The ICIMP 2007 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library. IEEE will index the papers with major indexes.
Important deadlines:
| Submission deadline | March 4, 2007 |
| Notification | April 7, 2007 |
| Registration and camera ready | April 20, 2007 |
Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged via the EDAS system.
Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page.
