Dear colleagues,
Professors often rely on textbooks to teach undergraduate and graduate
networking courses. While there are many good introductory textbooks,
there are very few books on advanced networking topics that could be
suitable to advanced graduate courses in networking. To fill this gap,
SIGCOMM Education Committee launches a community project to develop a
high-quality, open-source, edited ebook on Recent Advances in
Networking. This ebook will be distributed online via the SIGCOMM
website and released under a creative commons license.
The ebook developed within this project will be composed of chapters
covering advanced networking topics and accompanying teaching material
(slides, labs, exercises, ...). All the source code of the ebook and the
teaching material will on a version controlled repository that will be
accessible for the entire SIGCOMM community. We expect that releasing
such high quality teaching material will be beneficial for a large
number of students and professors. The teaching material will be updated
on a regular basis to reflect new advances in our field.
We invite submissions on a wide range of networking topics, including,
but not limited to:
- Economic aspects of the Internet
- Enterprise, datacenter, and storage area networks
- Formal methods applied to networking problems
- Network architectures and algorithms
- Network management, operation and traffic engineering
- Network measurement and modelling and simulation
- Network security, vulnerability, and defenses
- Operating system and hardware support for networking
- Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks
- Routing, switching, and addressing
- Technical aspects of online social networks
- Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks
In order to aid with synchronisation of activities and coverage of
material, at the first stage, we wish to collect Expression of Interest
(EoI) for proposed chapters in the ebook. These EOIs can either be
surveys that provide a broad introduction to a subfield or detailed
descriptions of new techniques/protocols/... An EoI should be an
extended abstract of few pages that describes the proposed chapter and
references experience in teaching this topic at a graduate level and
references existing material (slides, references, ...). The ebook
chapters will have to be original unpublished material. Prospective
authors are encouraged to contact the editors by email to check the
suitability of material and the fit within the scope. The received EoI
and the submitted chapters will be reviewed by members of the editorial
board and external reviewers.
Deadlines :
October 1st, 2012 : EoI submission on
http://crp.info.ucl.ac.be/SIGCOMM-ebook/
November 15th, 2012 : Notification of acceptance for EoIs
March 1st, 2013 : Submission deadline for ebook chapters
Second quarter 2013 : Publication of the ebook
