   ICNP 2008, the sixteenth IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is a conference covering all aspects of network protocols, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. ICNP 2008 will be held in Orlando, Florida, on October 19-22, 2008. Papers with significant research contributions to the field of network protocols are solicited for submission. Papers cannot be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Protocol testing, analysis, design and implementation 2. Measurement and monitoring of protocols  3. Protocols designed for specific functions, such as: routing, flow and congestion control, QoS, signaling, security, network management, or resiliency 4. Protocols designed for specific networks, such as: wireless and mobile networks, Ad hoc and sensor networks, virtual networks, and ubiquitous networks Papers must deal specifically with protocols. Papers of general networking nature where protocols are only a secondary focus will be considered only if they are of exceptional high quality and only a very limited number of such papers will be included in the technical program. ICNP will select an accepted full paper for the best paper award. For the first time, ICNP is using a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure blind reviewing, authors names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.    IMPORTANT DATES    Abstract submission: April 19, 2008 11:59 PM EDT Paper submission: April 25, 2008 11:59 PM EDT -- HARD DEADLINE Notification of acceptance: July 29, 2008 Camera ready version: September 5, 2008                 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE       EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: David Lee, Ohio State University, USA (chair)  Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Tech, USA  Ken Calvert, University of Kentucky, USA  Teruo Higashino, Osaka University, Japan  Raymond Miller, University of Maryland, USA   GENERAL CHAIRS: Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University, USA Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, Austin, USA   PROGRAM CHAIRS: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA  K.
