The ACM CoNEXT 2012 Student Workshop aims at providing a platform for graduate students in the area of computer networks to present their ongoing research efforts. The venue also represents a unique opportunity for students to network with other young researchers as well as more experienced ones, receive constructive feedback, guidance, tips, and learn about cutting-edge research problems being tackled by the community. The workshop will have featured keynote lectures and panels from distinguished researchers in the networking community.

We encourage submissions from graduate students about research at an early stage and for more advanced dissertation-level research. The submission should describe the research in 2 pages and indicate whether this is early-stage or dissertation research for potential presentation at the ACM CoNEXT 2012 Student Workshop. Research that addresses non-standard topics and controversial problems and approaches is of particular interest. The scope of the workshop is broad and covers all aspects of networking research.

Submissions  are limited to TWO (2) pages plus references only. Note that the two page limit includes ALL figures, tables but does not include references.

Selected abstracts will be published in the ACM CoNEXT 2012 proceedings and authors will be required to present their work through a poster session. Students may also be given an opportunity to give an "elevator pitch" to publicize their posters at the main conference. 

Important Dates:
Abstract submission September 22, 2012
Acceptance notification October 16, 2012
Camera ready October 31, 2012
Workshop date December 10, 2012
