                        Call for Participation
                        ----------------------

On December 10, we invite you to participate in the

                  -----------------------------------
                  Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'12)
                      co-located with ACM CoNEXT
                      Dec 10, 2012, Nice, France
                  -----------------------------------


Workshop Objectives
-------------------

Managing network capacity in general has always been an operator
concern, but the conversion of traditional media distribution to IP
technologies and the growing bandwidth demand for new cloud-based
applications incur a new level of traffic management requirements -
especially for mobile communication networks. The importance of the
topic is reflected by 3GPP work on "User plane congestion management",
IETF work on Congestion Exposure (ConEx) and by data center
optimizations for transport protocols and resource management.

The main research question is how to enable meaningful resource
sharing taking account of different, sometimes conflicting,
interests. The topic is related to established networking research
topics such as transport protocols, traffic management, radio resource
management and can be seen as an application area for new topics such
as Software-Defined Networking. This workshop intends to draw together
research activities in these different fields and for identifying
missing pieces and potential future research topics.

Program
-------

We have compiled an interesting program with 9 presentations, as well
as a keynote by Diego R. Lopez (Telefnica I+D) on "Applying
Abstraction for a More Efficient and Fair Network Usage" and an
invited talk by Colin Perkins (University of Glasgow) on "Can
Congestion-controlled Interactive Multimedia Traffic Co-exist with
TCP?".  Details of the program can be found on our workshop website:
