Proceedings of the 2013 workshop on Student workhop

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2013 ACM CoNEXT Student Workshop in Santa Barbara, USA. This year's workshop continues the workshop's tradition of being an engaging and interactive forum for graduate students to present their early research results and receive feedback from the networking research community. In addition to 18 student presentations, this year's workshop features keynote lectures by Nick Feamster from Georgia Tech and Aruna Seneviratne, from NICTA. The call for papers attracted 33 submissions from students from over 34 institutions spread across 5 continents. The submissions spanned all areas of networking research including mobile networks, online privacy, content delivery, software-defined networking, network measurements, and data center networks. Most submissions received three reviews from our program committee members. The final program consists of 18 accepted papers with authors drawn from over 21 universities and research labs. This year's workshop continues the practice of having the best papers of the workshop present their work in a special session of the main conference. We have also changed the presentation format to follow a 'mini-panel' format with students presenting their work and fielding questions together to encourage broader discussion of issues raised in their work.
