Hello,

This is a short report on the ICN workshop that took place at SIGCOMM last 
week.
More information is available at: http://www.neclab.eu/icn-2011/report.html

General Information
-------------------

The 2011 ACM SIGCOMM ICN workshop do place on Friday, August 19th in 
Toronto. Over 80 people registered to (and attended) the workshop.

The workshop received 41 permissions from Asia, Europe, and North America 
(China, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, 
Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, South-Korea, Switzerland, UK, USA), out of 
which 12 papers have been accepted for the final program -- the acceptance 
rate was 29%.

Best Papers
-----------

The following two papers have been selected as best papers (by the workshop 
organizers) -- congratulations!

Ali Ghodsi, Teemu Koponen, Jarno Rajahalme, Pasi Sarolahti and Scott 
Shenker; Naming in Content-Oriented Architectures
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2011/papers/icn/p1.pdf

Diego Perino and Matteo Varvello; A Reality Check for Content Centric 
Networking
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2011/papers/icn/p44.pdf

Other papers are available at http://www.neclab.eu/icn-2011/ (or at the 
SIGCOMM 2011 conference web page).

Panel Discussion
----------------

The workshop had a highly interesting panel of distinguished researchers 
from both academia and industry that has discussed requirements, approaches 
and future research directions for ICN.

The panel participants:

    Bengt Ahlgren, SICS, Sweden
    Van Jacobson, PARC, USA
    Teemu Koponen, ICSI, USA
    Ramesh Sitaraman, University of Massachusetts, Amherst & Akamai, USA
    Dirk Trossen, University of Cambridge, UK

The panelists gave short presentations with position statements that led 
into an interesting discussion. The summary of the statements (in the order 
they were given at the workshop and as noted by the organizers):

Van Jacobson, PARC, USA

    Want to evolve IP;
    overcoming infrastructure dependencies;
    don't need a topology as a requirement to operate;
    do everything that IP does; and
    possibly run DONA/PSIRP/NetInf over CCN.

Teemu Koponen, ICSI, USA

    Different types of research topics for ICN;
    some are less well understood, but highly critical;
    need less attention for: HTTP -- works OK, just need to decide whether 
to use PKI or self-certification;
    more attention for: privacy, inter-domain routing;
    more attention for: many objects -- FIBs can't be huge and fast --  
aggregation implies hierarchical topological names;
    with larger objects, slow huge FIB, but need faster packet delivery --  
requiring location addresses;
    immediate attention for: ubiquitous caching -- which did never really 
work (cf. history of web caching);
    example Facebook: CDN image caching considered inefficient;
    unclear whether we should really replace the whole infrastructure for 
logarithmic cache hit rate.

Dirk Trossen, University of Cambridge, UK

    ICN hour class waist -- what could it look like?
    proposing marriage between information and computation;
    working on the hour glass abstraction is key piece;
    need to embed larger community into ICN research (e.g., database 
community)

Bengt Ahlgren, SICS, Sweden

    Copyright issues are important to consider in ICN;
    there is less control for content owners;
    we may need technologies and laws to satisfy content owners;
    access/eyeball counting required;
    cache management -- collaborative caching will be useful;
    .. with combined cache and traffic management; and
    considering congestion control, and supporting DTN scenarios.

Ramesh Sitaraman, University of Massachusetts, Amherst & Akamai, USA

    Adopting clean-slate ICN architecture to be adopted in real world?
    5 business drivers for CDN today: availability, performance, 
scalability, cost and security;
    scalability: "middle mile bottleneck";
    cost: exponential decrease of bandwidth cost;
    energy cost soon will be dominant;
    if ICN should fly, it has to meet current CDN availability requirements!

Subject: [Icn-interest] SAIL deliverable: The Network of Information: Architecture and Applications
Message-ID: <[email-masked]>

For any one interested a new NetInf architecture deliverable " The Network of Information: Architecture and Applications" is now publicly available at the SAIL web site: http://www.sail-project.eu/

Direct link to the document:
 - http://www.sail-project.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/SAIL_DB1_v1_0_final-Public.pdf

Abstract:
This deliverable D.B.1 ?Architecture and Applications? describes the initial NetInf architecture and corresponding applications. NetInf is an ICN approach, i.e., an approach to networking that is based on the notion of providing access to named information ? a different paradigm compared to the host-to-host communication model of today?s Internet. The addressing of data in the network introduce additional functionality and they are presented within architectural building blocks. The different architectural building blocks are further studied in 5 application prototype scenarios for the NetInf prototyping work. The prototypes are used to study the potential gains resulted in the use of NetInf concepts and to verify the NetInf design. First results have been submitted as contributions to IETF standardisation and IRTF work, for example elements related to naming, caching and delay tolerant networking.

Comments and questions most welcome,
									B?rje

Subject: [Icn-interest] Call for Nominations: Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) for IETF-82
Message-ID: <[email-masked]>

               CALL FOR NOMINATIONS:

      APPLIED NETWORKING RESEARCH PRIZE (ANRP)
      
               http://irtf.org/anrp

*** Submit nominations until August 28 for the ANRP for IETF-82,
*** November 13-18, 2011 in Taipei, Taiwan:
*** http://fit.nokia.com/anrp/82/

The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded for
recent results in applied networking research that are relevant
for transitioning into shipping Internet products and related
standardization efforts. Researchers with relevant, recently
published results are encouraged to apply for this prize, which
will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work
with the engineers, network operators, policy makers and
scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task
Force (IRTF). Third-party nominations for this prize are also
encouraged. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize
(ANRP) is to recognize the best new ideas in networking, and
bring them to the IETF and IRTF especially in cases where they
would not otherwise see much exposure or discussion.

The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of:

* cash prize of $500 (USD)

* invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting

* travel grant to attend the week-long IETF meeting
  (airfare, hotel, registration, stipend)

* recognition at the IETF plenary

* invitation to related social activities

* potential for additional travel grants to future IETF
  meetings, based on community feedback

HOW TO APPLY

Only a single person can be nominated based on a peer-reviewed,
recently-published, original journal, conference or workshop paper
they authored. The nominee must be one of the main authors of the
nominated paper. Both self nominations (nominating one?s own paper)
and third-party nominations (nominating someone else?s paper) are
encouraged.

The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for
possible future IETF engineering work or IRTF experimentation,
analyze the behavior of Internet protocols in operational
deployments or realistic testbeds, make an important contribution
to the understanding of Internet scalability, performance,
reliability, security or capability, or otherwise be of relevance
to ongoing or future IETF or IRTF activities.

Applicants must briefly describe how the nominated paper relates
to these goals, and are encouraged to describe how presentation
of these research results will foster their transition into new
IETF engineering or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new
activities that will have an impact on the real-world Internet.

The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to
foster the transitioning of research results into real-world
benefits for the Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate
that they (or the nominee, in case of third-party nominations)
are available to attend the respective IETF meeting in person and
in its entirety.

Nominations must include:

* the name and email address of the nominee

* a reference to the published nominated paper

* a PDF copy of the nominated paper

* a statement that describes how the nominated paper
  fulfills the goals of the award

* a statement that the nominee is available to attend the
  respective IETF meeting in person and in its entirety

* a brief biography or CV of the nominee

* optionally, any other supporting information (link to
  nominee's web site, etc.)

*** Nominations are submitted via the submission site:
*** http://fit.nokia.com/anrp/82/

SELECTION PROCESS

A small selection committee comprised of individuals
knowledgeable about the IRTF, IETF and the broader networking
research community will evaluate the submissions against these
selection criteria. The goal is to select 1-2 submissions for the
Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) during each nomination
period. All nominees will be notified by email.

IMPORTANT DATES

Applications open:  August 1, 2011
Applications close: August 28, 2011
Notifications:      September 20, 2011
IETF-82 Meeting:    November 13-18, 2011 in Taipei, Taiwan 

SPONSORS

The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is supported by the
Internet Society (ISOC), as part of its Internet Research Award
Programme, in coordination with the Internet Research Task Force
(IRTF).

Armando,

I think this is an excellent idea.  I too have seen that once I-Ds and RFC start, the tendency is to move to that solution and shut off and shun other ideas.

Although I still haven't seen a clear goal for an ICN RG, I like and support Armando's approach
for keeping work informational. I would further suggest that there might be some boilerplate
paragraph that people would insert at the beginning of their informationals to note this explicit
decision of the RG.

Feedback on this would be welcome.

I like the idea of an RG that serves as a group of researchers working
on a common/similar set of problems that get together on a semi-regular
basis to informally discuss and share ideas, issues, results, progress,
etc. I think it would be useful in that it could be less formal than
conferences/workshops in that you don't necessarily need baked ideas or
results to present or participate.

On convergence... Even if we have no intention of converging ideas,
there is a risk of it happening unintentionally. Once I-Ds and RFCs
start popping up, people tend to feel like they need to adhere to those
documents. If someone discusses an approach to solving a problem, people
are likely to ask why not take the approach in an existing draft/RFC.
I've seen this happen in at least one other RG that was not ready for
convergence or protocol stabilization.

I don't have a solution, but one suggestion is that we insist that all
documents be categorized as "Informational" and not "Experimental". Only
when the RG officially decides that it is ready to begin converging
ideas that we label documents as "Experimental". This could help.

Message-ID: <[email-masked]>

All,

for anybody interested in joining an intensive summer school on this topic, please see below.

Best,

Dirk

Summer School on Information-Centric Networking
 
University of Cambridge, UK, August 29 through September 2, 2011 (noon to noon)
 
Scope and Topic
 
The current Internet is end-point-centric which is contributing to a number of its problems, such as SPAM, DoS attacks, and poor performance in the distribution of digital media. However, thesedays the network is mostly used to retrieve information, rather than to contact computers. In information-centric networking, information (rather than computers) is named and addressed.
 
This summer school is organized by the EU FP7 PURSUIT project (http://www.fp7-pursuit.eu), which is approaching information-centric networking from the point of view of the publish/subscribe paradigm. We have defined a complete internetworking architecture based on pub/sub and implemented a working prototype of its central parts (including the Blackadder end host). We also have a wire-speed implementation of the forwarding engine built with NetFPGA boards.
 
The school is targeted primarily to PhD students but should prove useful also to Master?s students, senior researchers, and anybody seriously interested in information-centric networking. While being organized by PURSUIT and including hands-on sessions with Blackadder and NetFPGA, the summer school is not in any way limited to PURSUIT or pub/sub and the program includes top-level speakers from outside the project.
