The Network Traffic Measurement and Analysis Conference (TMA) aims to be a highly selective venue for presenting both mature and early-stage research – as well as controversial work – on all aspects of measurement and analysis of network traffic. TMA conference has a strong tradition of open and lively interaction among scientists and engineers in academia and industry, and serves as a premier forum to exchange ideas, and present advances over the state-of-the-art in measurements of Internet traffic on all layers, as well as in measurement and analysis techniques.

TMA 2024 invites submissions presenting concepts, experiences, and of course results in collection, processing, analysis and visualization of network traffic data to enable traffic classification, anomaly detection, performance enhancement, monitoring, management, security, privacy or other uses of network data. The focus is on improving network measurements across the entire network stack up to application layers, with an emphasis on diverse areas of network communication such as data centers, satellite networks, mobile networks, IoT devices as well as devices connected to multiple networks.

To further encourage the results’ faithfulness and avoid publication bias, the conference will particularly encourage negative results revealed by novel measurement methods or vantage points. All regular papers are hence encouraged to discuss the limitations of the presented approaches and also mention which experiments did not work. Additionally, TMA will also be open to accepting papers that exclusively deal with negative results, especially when new measurement methods or perspectives offer insight into the limitations and challenges of network measurement in practice. Negative results will be evaluated based on their impact (e.g. revealed in realistic production networks) as well as the novelty of the vantage points (e.g. scarce data source) or measurement techniques that revealed them.

Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IFIP Open Digital Library, with open access, and submitted to IEEE Xplore.
