Summary
-------
For the first time, the 6th TMA Workshop (14th april) and the TMA PhD
school (15-16th april) will be jointly held, at Queen Mary University of
London. This year school includes theoretic courses, hands on
laboratories and PhD poster sessions as well.
Colocation of both events not only exposes students to the technical
program of the TMA workshop (participation to the school entitles
attendance of the workshop at no cost), but will also give PhD students
the chance to present their ongoing work to TMA attendees and take
valuable feedback (as the poster sessions span over the 3 days of both
events).
See below a hint of the program and some logistic information, but do
not esitate to browse through the School and Workshop websites!

Program
---------
The 4th edition of the TMA PhD School continues the traditional blend of
theory and practice initiated by the three former editions (see the TMA
portal http://www.tma-portal.eu/cost-tma-action/phd-schools/ ).
Talks will be followed by hands on laboratory sessions where PhD
students will have the chance to put in practice cutting-edge
methodologies they just have been exposed to -- aiming at reinforcing
the learning process and drive down the cost to start new research work
in the TMA domain. This year school will cover both passive and active
measurement techniques, with emphasis on inference of network behavior,
possibly at scale, covering the whole value chain of the Internet ecosystem.
In the current Internet, users access Cloud based applications through
Web browsers or smartphone apps. The overall user experience depends on
different and independently operated network segments and software
tools: so that the overall path from the household to the Cloud starts
from an home network and traverse several autonomous systems, before
finally hitting the data center or content distribution node. It follows
that to assess the quality of user experience, and troubleshoot issues
that potentially arise at any step in the path, a multitude of
methodologies are needed.
For example, problems may be local to the user home (e.g., bufferbloat),
or in the path (e.g., failing or misconfigured equipment), or in the
datacenter (e.g., faraway Cloud node). Techniques and tools learnt
throughout the school will allow students to detect Cloud applications
that are using anycast addresses by leveraging multiple vantage points.
They will reveal and fingerprint intermediate routers in the paths to
the Cloud. They will assess application performance from the edge,
either by peeking through the user browser, or by passive inspection of
the traffic from network links.
Talks and labs in the school will precisely address the above topics:
* Active inference: Router fingerprinting via Tracebox
Benoit Donnet and Korian Edeline (Université de Liege)
* Achieving scale: Large scale active measurement from PlanetLab
Timur Friedman, Jordan Auge and Marc-Olivier Buob (Université
Pierre et Marie Curie)
* Passive inference: Troubleshooting the Cloud with Tstat
Alessandro Finamore (Politecnico di Torino)
* Close to users: Performance measurement via Fathom
Renata Teixeira and Anna-Kaisa Pitilainen (Inria)

Logistics
----------
The PhD school will take place right after the TMA conference and school
attendees will have the chance to follow the TMA workshop at no cost
(travel grants may be available; decision is pending).
During the school, by means of poster sessions, PhD students will have
a chance to present their ongoing work to TMA attendees and take
valuable feedback. Additionally, participants can share her/his research
with peers and specialized professors during practical sessions with the
aim of advancing her/his own project and consolidating a network of
practitioners and scholars in the TMA field.
At the end of the school, we will release a certificate that will report
the total number of hours of the school (and the outcome of an optional
final examination for students that require it). You can use that
certificate to ask for credits at your institution (in most Universities
1 credit = 5 hours).
