The smaller and more focused setting of a workshop allows for Q&A sessions and facilitates discussions. Presentations of work-in-progress are welcome. - Retreats act as a platform for experts to gather to tackle issues of a predetermined research agenda. Retreats are highly interactive and goal-oriented, allowing participants to address open challenges, explore new and uncharted ideas. - Agenda-setting workshops provide a forum for experts to determine a research agenda for a sub-field. - Other common activities at workshops include poster sessions, hands-on practical work, and focus groups. Workshops that include the presentation of research papers and that implement a SIGPLAN-approved selection process may archive proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. The workshop chairs will provide advice on achieving this for those interested. Workshop applications will be considered until **May 01, 2022**, or until all slots are allocated. We will also entertain requests for workshops to be held in remote or hybrid modes. ## Workshop Proposal Submission Visit the submission link for the workshop proposal form and for more information on requirements and the evaluation process. To submit a workshop proposal, you will need to login to http://conf.research.org. ## Important Deadlines - The deadline for proposal submission for all workshops is **May 01, 2022** - The deadline for paper/abstract submission for all workshops is **September 01, 2022** - The early registration deadline for SPLASH is **TBD**. Before the SPLASH early registration deadline, all workshops must a) send out accept/reject notifications, and b) publish a draft schedule on the SPLASH website. For workshops with proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library, **TBD** is the camera-ready deadline. Therefore, you should plan to notify authors several days before this date, so that they have time for revisions. **TBD** dates will be announced as soon as the SPLASH dates they are dependent on are decided. ## Questions Please [email the workshop co-chairs](mailto:[email protected]) with any questions. ## Submission Link https://bit.ly/splash2022w ## Organizing Committee - Mehdi Bagherzadeh, Oakland University, USA - Raffi Khatchadourian, CUNY Hunter College, USA

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ****************************************************************************** IEEE LANMAN 2022 – Call for Posters and Demos IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks, 11–12 July 2022 - Virtual Conference https://lanman2022.ieee-lanman.org/authors/call-for-posters-and-demos/ ******************************************************************************* IEEE LANMAN has an established tradition as a forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in local and metropolitan area networking. Cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking. In keeping with the heritage of the symposium, there will be a central theme, and in 2022 the theme is “Scalable Networking with Intelligence.” This year, LANMAN will feature an interactive virtual poster and demo session to offer authors the opportunity to present their initial findings from recently performed and unreported research, as well as to demonstrate their novel technologies and applications by means of original interactive showcases. We will use an online interactive platform, for both posters and demos, which will allow the presenters and attendees to join in interactive online discussions. The goal of this interactive session is to focus on work-in-progress, upcoming research challenges, and new directions in the field of interdisciplinary ideas on network access protocols, network management and control, services and applications. Preliminary studies reporting measurements from real-life networks and testbeds are particularly encouraged. The topics of the poster and demo session coincide with the LANMAN 2022 main track. They include but are not limited to: AI and machine learning for local and metropolitan area networking AI and machine learning for network measurement and traffic analysis Self-learning network architectures Networking designs for AI and machine learning Networking for online education and entertainment Networking protocols and architectures for the IoTs Machine-to-machine communication Cloud, edge and fog computing integration Co-existence and heterogeneity support at the edge (HetNets) Energy efficiency for local and metropolitan area networking 5G and 6G cellular data networking Information security for local and metropolitan area networking Intelligent routing, forwarding, and scheduling Network and transport mechanisms for latency reduction Network virtualization in local and metropolitan areas Performance and reliability of local and metropolitan area networks Software-defined networking in local and metropolitan areas Information-centric networking in local and metropolitan areas Important dates: - Poster/Demo Paper Submission: June 10, 2022 (23:59 EDT – firm deadline) - Acceptance Notification: June 17, 2022 - Camera-ready Submission: June 21, 2022 Submission Instructions: Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts no longer than 2 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10-point.
