[mome-announce] [Fwd: proposal for a new COST on Traffic Measurements and Analysis]

[Felix Strohmeier <fstrohmeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Fabio Ricciato, initiator of a new COST proposal described below asked
me to forward this information to potential partners. We felt, that the
mome-announcement mailing list might be a good place to ask for
expression of interests. In case you are interested, please reply
directly to him <ricciato@xxxxxx>, to be added to the new established
mailing list.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Participation is limited to the 34 member countries of
COST, that include the 25 EU Member States, Bulgaria, Croatia, Iceland,
Norway, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, FYR of Macedonia, Switzerland
and Turkey. In addition, Israel is a cooperating state. (Further details
at http://www.cost.esf.org/)

With best regards,
Felix Strohmeier.

Traffic	Measurements and Analysis

Dear all

following some private discussions during the last INFOCOM I am taking
the initiative to propose a new COST Action
on the topic of Traffic Monitoring and Analysis.

I think the research community active in this topic in Europe is now
pretty large and stable.
What is still missing is a place for "getting together" and a tool for
building up more community awareness.
I think that starting a new  COST specifically on this topic is a pretty
appropriate first step in this direction, especially because it comes at
a (quasi) zero-cost in terms of management overhead (COST doesn't cost...).
As you know, COST actions bring small money and even less management
overhead (say almost negligible): they are just meant to fund networking
and dissemination of research results, not the research itself.
In my view, the new COST proposal should address all research activities
targeted at exploiting _Traffic Monitoring and Analysis for Network
Management_, therefore including: anomaly detection, large-scale
performance monitoring, network tomography, network security, modeling
from measurements, measurement tools, visualization and organization of
measured data, etc.
I would like to include a specific workpackage on measurements in
"emerging" wireless networks, e.g. 3G and Wimax

Please find attached a preliminary draft of the proposal descriptions.
This document is meant just as a starting point, open to modifications &
additions and any other contribution from future participants.
The final proposal is due by May 31st (http://www.cost.esf.org/index.php).

I am now collecting expressions of interest by potential partners in the
consortium.

Find below a list of research groups that have already adhered.

I volunteer to take care of the proposal submission and to coordinate
the consortium-building process.
I've set a temporary mailing list (new-cost@xxxxxx, it will be
operational in few hours)
to ease further information exchanges.
If you are interested to adhere to the proposal please drop me an email
with the names of 1-2 reference person(s)
and I will add them to the mailing list.

feel free to forward it to potentially interested groups
ciao
fabio
