9:00 - 9:10 Opening Remarks [talk]

9:10 - 10:10 Keynote talk [talk]

• Why, what and how to measure, Ernst Biersack (EURECOM)

  The measurement of networks and end-systems as a field with its own conferences such as PAM or IMC has been existing for about one decade. I will take this occasion to "step back" a bit and ask questions such as "Why to measure", "What to measure", or "How to measure" and to illustrate some of the challenges by drawing on my own experience. I will also try to reflect on the current state of the field of measurement and on ways that could help advance it.
