Network Traffic Measurement and Analysis Conference (TMA 2018)

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Traffic measurement, analysis, characterization, visualization and classification

• The use of Data Analytics, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in network measurement and analysis

• The use of Big Data, High-Rate Processing and Data Reduction in network measurement, analysis and visualization

• Measurements of data centers or cloud-based systems

• Measurements of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Virtual Network Functions (VNF)

• Measurements of home, mobile and wireless traffic including devices with multiple network paths

• Application-layer measurements, including web services, social networks, mobile applications

• Measurements of Quality of Service and Quality of Experience, for network services using audio, video, virtual/augmented reality and gaming

• Measurements on testbeds, experimental networks or prototype networks

• Simulation and modelling for network measurements, analysis and visualization

• Applications of traffic analysis for security, anomaly/vulnerability/attack detection and user profiling/privacy

• Identification and classification of traffic, including encrypted and proprietary protocols

• Techniques for and implications of privacy preservation, enhancement and anonymization in the context of traffic measurements

• Measurements of network performance and network structure

• Platforms for measurement, troubleshooting, management, and control of operational networks

• Current and emerging regulatory frameworks for measurement, analysis and privacy

• Measurement of traditional and new protocols (e.g. TCP, MPTCP, HTTP/2, QUIC) and modes of communication (e.g. NFC and IoT)

• Validation and repeatability of measurements, shared datasets, collaborative platforms
