Call for Papers
IEEE LANMAN has an established tradition as a forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in local and metropolitan area networking. Continuing that tradition, IEEE LANMAN 2015 invites cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation. Papers are solicited in all areas of networking, but in keeping with the current research trend, this workshop’s central theme is Software Defined Datacenters. The intimate single-track session format of the workshop encourages stimulating exchanges between researchers. The workshop is expected to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on architectures, service models, pricing, and performance. Speculative and potentially transformative ideas are particularly encouraged, as are studies reporting measurements from real-life networks and testbeds. Papers are solicited on any LANMAN topic including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel data center network architectures
- Software defined data center networks
- Data center network virtualization
- Name-to-name communications and name-based abstractions
- Energy-efficiency in data centers
- Routing and transport protocols in data center networks

KEYNOTES
Keynote I: Laurent Mathy
Title: Foggy Networking -- Networking in the Cloud
Abstract:
Internet architecture ossification has often been cited as the main hindrance to Internet evolution. However, we show that a much more pernicious situation has developed, which is threatening all types of innovation in the Internet -- not just architectural evolution -- all the way up to the deployment of new applications. After reviewing why the Internet has come to this state-of-affair, we hint at ways out of this conundrum: virtualization and programmability, which drive the relentless cloud-network convergence, triggering network operators to deploy large data centers within the core of their networks. Implications, opportunities and research perspectives are identified in this changing networking landscape.
Bio:
Laurent Mathy received a Ph.D. degree in computer science from Lancaster University, England, in 2000. He is a professor in the EECS department of the University of Liège, Belgium. Prior to joining the University of Liège, he was a professor at Lancaster University. His research interests include protocol design, Internet architecture and design and optimization of networked systems. He is also a visiting professor at ICT, CAS, China.
Keynote II: Yongguang Zhang
Title: Networking in Cloud Computing Era
Abstract:
The industrial revolution of cloud computing has changed the landscape of networking substantially. I'll discuss a few topics that involve how we develop networking technologies to support cloud computing and we use cloud computing to change how we do networking. Topics include DCN, SDN, switch architecture, internet architect, wireless and 5G. I'll also brief a few networking projects at Microsoft Researcher Asia.

Beijing and Tsinghua Campus
The workshop will be held in Tsinghua University, Beijing. Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's cultural and educational center. It is home to the headquarters of most high-tech companies. The Beijing Capital International Airport is the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic, and there are direct flights from most countries in the world. So the transport to the workshop will be easy for most attendees. The city's history dates back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the center of the country for much of the past eight centuries. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks and gardens, tombs, walls and gates and its art treasures and universities have made it a center of culture and art in China. The famous places of interest include the Forbidden City, the Tian'anmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace), the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Ming Dynasty Tombs, etc.
Beijing is a city of ancient and modern, old and young, bright and charming, hospitable and colorful. Hope you enjoy this city and LANMAN event in Beijing!
