25th NMRG Meeting in Munich (Germany)

The 25th NMRG meeting took place in Munich (Germany) on October 30th. The organizers of this meeting are Ramin Sadre, University of Twente, Aiko Pras, University of Twente, and Helmut Reiser, LRZ Munich.

The workshop takes place at

Leibniz Rechenzentrum Munich (LRZ)
Boltzmannstrase 1
85748 Garching
in the seminar room 1. The LRZ in Garching can be reached as explained here. A list of hotels in Garching is available (ASCII file). It is also possible to stay near the station in Munich and take the underground to the LRZ (approx. 30 minutes).

The workshop is open to the public but the number of participants is limited. We kindly ask to register for this workshop (registration is free). Deadline for registration: October 15, 2008.

Scope

The goal of the workshop is to exchange and discuss experiences and ideas in the usage of Netflow/IPFIX in network management. Flow-based approaches are used in various areas of network management today, such as accounting, dependency discovery, and intrusion detection. The workshop will address these and other areas, as well as related activities such as flow collection and storage, querying, etc.
