Here's a CfP for a measurement-related workshop-- Simon.

       The Second IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements

       (To be held in conjunction with The 32nd IEEE Conference on
        Local Computer Networks)

                               October 15-18, 2007
                                Dublin, Ireland

                                CALL FOR PAPERS
                                
      The Second LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements,
      will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local
      Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and
      panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the
      field. The expected audience will include networking
      researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from
      industry, academia and government.

      The first IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements was very
      successful in bringing together a set of participants actively
      working on network measurements in various domains. This year we
      will continue with the theme "Network Measurements - Different
      Perspectives," to further promote the exchange of knowledge
      among different network measurement domains.

      Topics of Interest:
      -------------------
      Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and
      characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization
      is important for understanding the behavior of networks and for
      evaluating the scalability, reliability and performance of
      protocols. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and
      end-to-end and subnet measurements face domain specific
      constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex dynamics of
      the networks and also the difficulties in performing measurement
      itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a forum
      for researchers and practitioners interested in network
      measurements to discuss and exchange measurement related
      research in both wireless and wired domains, and also explore
      emerging fields of measurements such as on mobile devices.

      High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the
      topics including, but not limited to:

        * Measurements on homogenous and heterogeneous networks
        * Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless
          networks
        * Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds
        * Mobility models and traffic patterns
        * Wired and wireless domain measurements
        * Measurement tools
        * Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation
        * Active and passive measurements at core nodes
        * End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the
          Internet
        * Metrics for network characterization
        * Benchmark scenarios and data sets
        * Measurements on Mobile devices

      Paper length should not exceed 8 pages. Papers should be
      submitted electronically in PDF format via EDAS (Please refer to
      conference website for detailed submission instructions). Papers
      will go through a thorough review process. The accepted papers
      will appear in the IEEE LCN conference proceedings.

      Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the
      proposal by the same deadline as for papers.
