   Overview
   The 2005 Internet Measurement Conference (IMC 2005) is a two and one-half
   day event focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, following on the
   success of four previous IMCs. We welcome the submission of papers that
   contribute to our understanding of how to collect or analyze Internet
   measurements, or give insight into how the Internet behaves. More generally,
   measurement-based studies of IP-based networks and network technologies are
   of interest.

   Topics
   Examples of relevant topics include measurement-based studies of:

     * Network structure and topology
     * Traffic analysis
     * Traffic engineering
     * Inter-domain and intra-domain routing
     * Intra-domain IP-based networks such as enterprise networks and campus
       networks
     * Network inference and anomaly detection
     * Network applications, including Web, multimedia streaming, and gaming
     * CDN, peer-to-peer, and overlay networks
     * Wireless LAN and WANs, and sensor networks as they relate to TCP/IP
       protocols and applications
     * Network modeling
     * Network security threats and countermeasures
     * Data-centric issues, including anonymization, querying, and storage
     * Software tools and systems in support of network measurement
     * Reappraisal of previous measurement findings

   Papers that do not in some fashion rely on measuring properties of IP
   networks are out of scope. Authors can contact the Program Co-Chairs at
   imc05chairs@usenix.org for clarification if they are unsure whether their
   paper is in scope.

   Submission Guidelines
   There are two forms of submissions:
    1. Full papers (up to 14 two-column pages) describing original research,
       with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss.
    2. Short papers (up to 6 two-column pages), conveying, for example, work
       that is less mature but shows promise. Short papers will be subject to a
       6-page limit in the Proceedings.

   Submissions must be in electronic form, as Postscript or PDF documents. The
   submission must conform to the page limits stated above, and the main text
   body must be written in a 10-point (or larger) serif font. All manuscripts
   must be in English. Submissions that do not comply with these requirements
   will not be read. Please refer to the detailed submission instructions for
   more information.

   All full papers and short papers accepted for presentation will be published
   in the Conference Proceedings produced by USENIX. A few accepted papers may
   be forwarded for fast-track submission to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on
   Networking.

   Registration Materials
   Complete program and registration information will be available in August
   2005 on the conference Web site. The information will be in both HTML and a
   printable  PDF  file.  If  you would like to receive the latest USENIX
   conference information, please join our mailing list.
