Conference Information
----------------------
The ninth Passive and Active Measurement conference will be held April
29-30th, 2008 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.  This event focuses on research
and practical applications of network measurement and analysis
techniques.  The conference's goal is to provide a forum for current
work in its early stages.  Original papers are invited from the
research and operations communities on topics including, but not
limited to:

* Active Network Measurements
* Passive Network Measurements
* Performance Metrics
* Traffic Statistics
* Measurement Visualization
* New Measurement Approaches & Techniques
* Deployment of Measurement Infrastructure
* New Measurement Initiatives
* Applications of Network Measurements
* Network Measurements and Security
* Network Troubleshooting using Measurements
* Reproduce (or Refute) Previous Measurement Results

PAM values contributions that are broader than experimental papers.
Data and tool release are seen as first-class contributions and
preference will be given in that direction.

In particular, releasing measurement data allows for better science to
be conducted in the field of network measurement.  Therefore, an award
will be given at PAM 2008 for the best paper based on a new dataset
that the authors are releasing for community use in subsequent
research.  To qualify, a paper must significantly utilize a dataset
that has been collected for the work presented in the paper.  Further,
the dataset must be freely available to any researcher; wireless data
sets may, for instance, be published through CRAWDAD.  Novel datasets
are especially encouraged.  The awarded paper will be chosen from the
set of qualifying papers accepted for the conference by a committee
made up of a subset of the program and steering committees.

Submission Information
----------------------
To ensure PAM 2008 is fresh and interesting, we are soliciting papers,
submitted in the LNCS format, that do not exceed 10 pages.  No
additional space will be given once a paper has been accepted.

Authors should flag papers they wish to be considered for the best
paper based on a new dataset award with a footnote on the first page
of the paper.

The proceedings of past PAM conferences were published in Springer
LNCS series, and we have a preliminary indication from Springer that
this will continue for PAM 2008 (pending the formal agreement).

Authors are, as always, asked to refrain from submitting papers
submitted to PAM to other venues during the reviewing period.
