ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is the 
premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol research, 
including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, 
and performance.

ICNP 2015 will host multiple one-day or half-day workshops in 
conjunction with the main conference, to be held in San Francisco, CA on 
Nov 10-13, 2015. We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic 
related to the main ICNP conference. ICNP workshops should focus on 
creating interactions among participants as well as community building.

      Proposal Submission         May 10, 2015
      Acceptance Notification     May 15, 2015
======================================================================

A workshop proposal for ICNP 2015 should contain at least the following 
information:
* Name and possible acronym of the workshop.
* Motivation and rationale for the workshop.
* Draft call-for-papers, including introduction and topics of the workshop.
* Names and affiliations of main organizers, and a tentative composition 
of the committees (as complete as possible). Please indicate whether 
prospective committee members have been contacted and whether they have 
accepted the invitation. We strongly discourage speculative TPC listings.
* Workshop format, i.e., expected number of presented papers, slot 
lengths, information about invited talks, panels, demonstrations, etc.
* Expected number of participants and expected number of submissions.
* Requirements in terms of A/V, networking, power, facilities. (Assume 
that nothing is provided other than a projector and a microphone.)
* Prior history of this workshop, if any, including number of 
submissions, number of accepted papers, and attendee count of previous 
instances. If the workshop was co-located with another event in the 
past, please include details and a brief description why ICNP is a more 
appropriate venue.

Please note that the camera-ready processing of conference papers, 
tentatively set as Aug 15, 2015, must be met by all workshops as well. 
Also, all workshops need to start, end, and have break times at the same 
time as the main conference. The paper lengths are limited to six pages 
in IEEE Computer Society format.  All the accepted papers need to be 
presented at the workshop. They will be included in the workshop 
proceedings as well as IEEE Xplore.

Please submit your workshop proposals by email to 
<icnp15ws.chairs at gmail.com> by May 10, 2015. We will get back to you 
with the acceptance by May 15, 2015.

Workshop Chairs:
    Krishna Kant, Temple University
    Guoliang Xue, Arizona State University
