DESCRIPTION:Nearly three decades of Internet measurement has resulted in l
 arge-scale global infrastructures used by an increasing number of research
 ers. They have examined various Internet properties in areas such as netwo
 rk infrastructure (routers\, links)\, traffic (measurement at packet\, flo
 w\, and session level) and applications (DNS\, Web\, P2P\, online social n
 etworks etc.) and presented results in diverse venues.  Key related topics
  like security and privacy have also been explored.  There is however a la
 ck of clearly articulated standards that reduce the probability of common 
 mistakes made in studies involving measurements\, their analysis and model
 ing. A community-wide effort is likely to foster fidelity in datasets obta
 ined as part of measurements and reused in subsequent studies. In this tal
 k\, I will discuss a Socratic approach as steps towards a solution to this
  problem by enumerating a sequence of questions that can be answered relat
 ively quickly by both measurers and reusers of datasets. To illustrate the
  applicability and appropriateness of the questions we answer them for a n
 umber of past and current measurement studies. This is joint work with B. 
 Krishnamurthy\, P. Gill\, and M. Arlitt.\n\nWeb: http://www.research.att.c
