Workshop logistics
In the morning, we will present CAIDA's vision of the Internet Measurement Data Catalog (IMDC). The objective of the IMDC project is to facilitate access, archiving, and reproducibility of Internet data and research results as well as sharing data among Internet researchers.
The rest of the day will consist of open discussions of measurement needs of the Internet research community. We expect and encourage informal presentations by workshop participants.
