2016 Proceeding
The first edition of the ACM SIGCOMM Latin American Workshop on Data Communication Networks, LANCOMM'16 aims to foster a higher representation of Latin American researchers working in data communication networks at SIGCOMM, as well as bridging Latin American research groups. LANCOMM serves as a meeting point for Latin American researchers to share new ideas and experiences and to discuss the challenges linked to the development of data communication networks in Latin America.
Data communications research in Latin America is generally loosely connected to the SIGCOMM research community, and has historically had a low visibility and impact on the data communications domain worldwide. Indeed, for many different reasons (e.g., government strategic agendas, specific funding sources, socio-cultural differences, landscape geography, lack of infrastructure, underdevelopment of the domain itself, geographic distribution of population, strong asymmetry in terms of content generation and location, etc.), the research on data communications performed in Latin America is generally quite different from - and in most cases far behind - the research performed in the US, Europe or Asia. At the same time, research in different Latin American countries is mostly dissimilar, and synergies among Latin American groups are rather limited.
Taking the chance of having, for the very first time, the main SIGCOMM conference hosted in Latin America, the LANCOMM workshop aims to approach the Latin American research community to the SIGCOMM community, increasing its active participation and fostering a cross-community mutual dialog. As part of its objectives, LANCOMM also targets a better integration and synergies among Latin American research groups, offering a meeting point for local researchers, encouraging large local participation, and stimulating lively discussion and networking.
LANCOMM'16 accepted 19 technical papers out of 35 submissions. The paper review process included an evaluation phase by PC members, followed by an online discussion of the top ranked papers, out of which 19 were accepted to appear in the program. The resulting program features a variety of papers focusing on different aspects of data communication networks, including network measurements, network softwarization and virtualization (SDN and NFV), as well as network modeling and analysis.
