Innovations in Internet applications continue to have an ever-growing impact on our world, resulting in a surge of research interest in both applications and the network infrastructure that supports them.  Networks and applications have a symbiotic relationship, each vastly affecting the other.   On one hand, applications must take into account network performance, transport protocol design, and higher-level protocol design to achieve acceptable performance and robustness.  On the other hand, emerging network technologies are being determined in part by the kinds of applications that we wish to run on them.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading application and network designers from academia and industry to exchange ideas about the problems they are facing and the functions they are expecting each other to provide.   Topics of interest to this workshop include (but are not limited to) the network effects on applications, and the application effects on networking, of:
 

We encourage papers that present well-developed research results, but also papers that are more speculative in nature.  Participants will be invited based on the originality, technical merit, and topical relevance of their submissions, as well as the likelihood that the ideas expressed in their submissions will lead to insightful technical discussions at the workshop.

Authors should submit full papers of no more than 10 pages in length, using 11 point font.  Papers must fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inchines).  nbsp; Detailed submission instructions are available here.

Important Dates:

All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
