CoNEXT 2020 : The 16th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies

The CoNEXT 2020 conference seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer networks and its applications. We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of networking topics. The list of topics includes (in alphabetical order):

• Big Data platforms with applications to network management, security, measurements
• Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays
• Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures
• Experience and lessons learned by deploying large-scale networked systems
• Internet measurement and modeling
• Internet economics and policy
• Innovative uses of network data beyond communication
• Mobile and Wireless Network Protocols and Applications
• Networking aspects of datacenters and cloud computing
• Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures
• Network aspects of Web, Video, and Virtual Reality applications
• Network control and management, including SDN, NFV and network programmability
• Network, transport, and application-layer protocols
• Networking aspects of ubiquitous computing, including Internet-of-Things and Smart Cities
• Networking aspects of online social networks
• Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications
• Reproducibility
• Routing and traffic engineering
• Security and privacy aspects of network applications and protocols
• Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking

We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We ask authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest of their work will be the implications of their results in networking. As such CoNEXT is, e.g., not looking for papers addressing only the physical layer. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission.
