IEEE Communications Magazine - Monitoring and Troubleshooting Multi-domain
Networks using Measurement Federations
CALL FOR PAPERS - Announcement (EXTENDED DEADLINE: APRIL 1 2013)

Aims and Scope
In both the scientific and corporate worlds, users, resources, and data are
often physically distributed, making networks increasingly important for all
operations. Enormous progress has been made in increasing the capacity and
accessibility of networking infrastructures, which in turn has fostered wider
adoption of Cloud and Grid environments. Unfortunately, these advances have not
directly translated into improved performance for all applications and users;
instead, network performance problems become even more subtle and detrimental
as the capacity of the network increases, and troubleshooting them on
multi-domain network paths is highly challenging. These problems may be as
benign as congestion from other network users, or as serious as packet loss
caused by one or more intermediate-domain infrastructure and architectural
flaws.
Troubleshooting performance problems on multi-domain networks requires a great
deal of effort and expertise, as well as measurement policy agreements that
mutually benefit domains within measurement federations. Novel approaches are
needed to foster wider adoption of explicit measurement federations such as
perfSONAR, SamKnows, Grenouille and M-Lab involving co-operating agents in
collaborating vendor organizations as well as user communities. These
approaches may also be suitable for implicit measurement federations seen in
content-delivery networks involving multiple service providers that co-operate
to reduce operating costs, while providing satisfactory end-user experience.
Building upon current end-to-end measurement federation related
standards-development efforts - at Open Grid Forum (OGF), IETF IP Performance
Metrics (IPPM), IEEE 802.1 ag, ITU-T Y.1731, and Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) -
can benefit the interoperability and sustainability of explicit and implicit
measurement federations.
In addition, sophisticated tools are required to monitor multi-domain networks
and to detect, localize and diagnose performance problems in real-time. As
networks increase in capacity, and new paradigms such as Software Defined
Networking emerge to aid in traffic management, performance monitoring tools
must be scalable and capable of detecting performance issues in a timely
manner. The monitoring and diagnosing tools must comply with measurement
federation policies, and aid network operators when troubleshooting perceived
abnormalities, as well as help network middleware and intelligent applications
to work around problems, ultimately minimizing the impact to end users.
This special issue will cover novel techniques and standardization efforts in
the area of monitoring and troubleshooting of multi-domain networks using
measurement federations. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
Algorithms and Techniques for Automated Network Troubleshooting
Architectures for Federated Measurement Collection and Sharing
Intra and Inter Domain Monitoring Strategies
Measurement Federation related Standards-development Efforts
Monitoring of Software Defined, Content-delivery and Overlay Networks
Troubleshooting of Hybrid Packet and Circuit Networks
Network-aware Middleware for High Speed Networks
Measurements from Cloud and Grid Environments
Security and Policy Considerations for Federated Measurements
New Policy-based Network Monitoring/Analysis Tools and Paradigms
End-to-End ("Disk-to-Disk") Performance Problem Troubleshooting
Scalability of Measurement Methods and Infrastructures
Embedded Active Monitoring based Collaborative Management
Case Studies of End-to-End or Network Performance Troubleshooting
Federations to jointly troubleshoot Home-area and Wide-area Networks
Submission Guidelines
Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to
readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE
Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.
Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at
http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is very important
to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical
content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed
4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted
through the IEEE Manuscript Central
(http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Select "November
2013/Monitoring and Troubleshooting Multi-domain Networks using Measurement
Federations" from the drop down menu.
Important Dates
Manuscript Submission Due: April 1, 2013 (EXTENDED DEADLINE)
Acceptance Notification: July 1, 2013
Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2013
Publication: November 2013
