The PAM conference has in the past focused on research and practical

applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. However this

year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area.

The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional

Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked environment

--- networked applications, content distribution networks, online social

networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at

all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components, at the

MAC/network/transport layers, as well as up the stack for application

profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurements technologies are

being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless

and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition

of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of topics. We

aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked

environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can

serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same

time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques,

tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. PAM seeks to

bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages

submission of early stage research. Original papers are invited, but not

limited to, the following topics:

? Passive and Active Measurement Tools: Techniques, Design and

Experience

? Characterization studies of network usage and networked applications

? Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked

services at large.

? Correlating measurements across multiple layers

? Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals

? Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of

Experience

? Measurements for Security and Privacy

? Distributed and Inter-domain measurements

? Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements

? Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability

? Measurement technology for software-based routers

? Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services

? Measurements in Home Networks

? Measurement Visualization

? Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure

? New Measurement Initiatives

? Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results

? Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis

? Measurement Data Management
