Introduction

The rapid development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) concepts in the last few years is one of the significant results from multiple international Future Internet research activities. Based on the ICN concepts, the principal communication paradigm is no longer end-to-end data delivery between hosts as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, ICN-based network architectures focus directly on retrieving information objects securely, reliably, scalably, and efficiently. These architectural design efforts aim to directly address the network challenges that arise from the increasing demand for highly scalable content distribution, from accelerated growths of mobile devices, and from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT).

The resulting network architectures are expected to leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models to provide effective and efficient data distribution in the communication services, and to provide effective solutions in securing the network infrastructure as well as user data.

This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation.

Topics

  • Naming and addressing
  • Routing and name resolution
  • Routing and name resolution scalability
  • Support for mobility
  • Support for / avoidance of middle boxes
  • Models and/or compensation schemes for user contribution to network resources (bandwidth, storage for caching, battery, processing, name resolution, etc.)
  • Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control)
  • Security, privacy and trust
  • Testbeds and simulations frameworks
  • Metadata and network extensions
  • Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc)
  • PDUs, fragmentation and “packet size” implications on design
  • Should ICN be an overlay or an underlay?
  • Performance evaluation
  • Inter-domain operations (protocols, policies, etc.)
  • Limitations of ICNs

Submission Instructions

All submissions must be original work that has not been submitted to any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be in PDF format. Reviews will be single-blind: please include authors name and affiliation in the submission

Submissions must follow the SIGCOMM formatting guidelines that will be posted at at http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cfp.php. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.
