Dear all, ERC Networking 2018 at ACM SIGCOMM 2018 is shaping up as a highly interesting event. Its technical program consists exclusively of invited talks by 11 distinguished ERC grant holders in the area of computer networking. Please consider attending the symposium. The early registration deadline for ERC Networking 2018 and SIGCOMM 2018 in general is on 14 July. The call for ERC Networking participation is enclosed below. Thank you, Sergey ______________________________________________ ACM SIGCOMM 2018 Symposium on European Research in Computer Networking (ERC Networking 2018) Budapest, Hungary 24 August 2018 ERC Networking 2018 brings together researchers and educators for the purpose of presenting and discussing research results and ideas pertaining to projects funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The symposium pursues the following two goals: (i) promoting excellent European research within, or closely related to, the area of computer networking and (ii) inspiring talent in computer networking from all over the world and encouraging applications for ERC grants. Consisting exclusively of invited talks by ERC grant holders, the full-day technical program of ERC Networking 2018 is enclosed below and also available at https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2018/erc_networking_symposium.html . After Andrzej Jajszczyk (ERC Scientific Council and AGH, Poland) provides a brief overview of the ERC and its funding opportunities, the program features 11 invited talks on topics in network virtualization, security, programming, routing, and wireless technologies. The symposium concludes with a panel where ERC grant holders share personal experiences with conceiving, obtaining, and executing an ERC grant. Complementing its technical excellence, ERC Networking 2018 benefits from its superb location in the heart of Budapest with stunning views from the Pest embankment to Buda hills across the Danube. Famous for its Hungarian cuisine and wines, Budapest is a naturally beautiful, culturally sophisticated, and technologically advanced European city. 14 July is the early registration deadline for the ERC Networking symposium and ACM SIGCOMM 2018 overall. Attendance of the symposium is by open registration and subject to the same registration fees and rules as a regular SIGCOMM 2018 workshop. The attendees who register for another SIGCOMM 2018 workshop on August 24 may freely attend the ERC Networking symposium. Similarly, the registrants of ERC Networking 2018 may freely attend the other workshops on 24 August. The attendees of the SIGCOMM 2018 main conference may register for the ERC Networking symposium at a discounted fee of $100. To benefit from early registration rates, remember to register by 14 July at http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2018/registration.html . ______________________________________________ ERC Networking 2018 Program InterContinental Budapest, Friday, 24 August 2018 9:00 am - 9:40 am Opening Welcome Remarks Sergey Gorinsky (IMDEA, Spain) and János Tapolcai (BME, Hungary) ERC and Its Funding Opportunities Andrzej Jajszczyk (ERC Scientific Council and AGH, Poland) 9:40 am - 10:30 am Session I: Virtualization Session Chair: János Tapolcai (BME, Hungary) How Flexible is Your Network?
