Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on
INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKING

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) marks a fundamental shift in
communications and networking. ICN focuses on finding and transmitting
information to end users instead of connecting end hosts that exchange
information. The key concepts are expected to have a huge impact on the
familiar textbook protocol stack, in network architecture in general,
and will create new opportunities for all associated stakeholders
including equipment vendors, network operators, service and content
providers, and above all end-users.

Scope and Objectives 
Information-centric networking is to succeed only if it can to provide
clearly superior solutions to well-known problems in the current
generation of all-IP networks and can be introduced to general usage
incrementally. We invite authors to consider the following aspects with
respect to information-centric networks:
  * Naming & addressing: What breakthroughs in naming and addressing
will make ICN scalable when faced with a global network of billions of
devices and zettabytes of available content? 
  * Protocol stack: Can ICN deliver a neat and simple protocol stack?
  * Network architecture: What does a ICN network architecture look
like? 
  * Management: What are the essential characteristics of a complete
management framework that is scalable, flexible, and suitable for ICN?
  * Caching: New issues to be addressed such as buffer management and
caching policy.
  * Energy efficiency: Will ICN pave the way to a holistic energy
efficient operation?
  * Internet of Things (IoT): How does ICN scale in the scenarios
envisioned for the IoT and how does it compare with current IP-based IoT
solutions?
  * Security: Can ICN foster the development of a more secure and
trusted global communications infrastructure? 
  * Which business models could foster a fair relationship between
content producers, content providers and service/network providers?

Submitted articles do not need to cover all these aspects but should
strive to clearly contrast the ICN approach with the current
TCP/IP-based state of affairs. Prospective authors should describe the
key concepts, design, implementation, and evaluation of ICN proposals.
Articles that demonstrate the feasibility of groundbreaking approaches
through testbed/experimental results are particularly welcome. We invite
authors to submit articles reporting original, previously unpublished
research work on information-centric networking. Authors can find
article guidelines at
http://dl.comsoc.org/ci1/info/cfp/cfpcommag0712.htm.

********* CALL FOR PAPERS - Journal of Internet Technology (JIT) *********

Special Issue on Efficient Content Management in Distributed Systems

http://jit.ndhu.edu.tw/callforpaper/Special_Issue_on_Efficient_Content_Managemen_2.pdf

**************************************************************************

I would like to inform you about this call for papers, which addresses important topics of ICN , like  scalability, routing, naming, security, etc.

Best Regards,

Andrea Detti

Theme and Scope

Following the technological advancements in communication networks that have  enabled the reliable, fast and efficient data
transport, interest is gradually shifting towards research on best serving the content that is circulated over computer
networks. This content, ranging from small sized to very large scale content is constantly growing, and following the Internet
and web evolution it is becoming more and more distributed. Thus, the need introduce ways to efficiently manage this
content in an equivalently a distributed manner is evident. In this direction, several technologies have been proposed,
including the construction and maintenance of smart overlay networks and Information Centric Networks (ICN) to fairly
distribute information, and the use of semantics which can help us in giving deterministic definitions to the content.
Furthermore, following the developments in these areas along with profiling technologies, we can go one step further in
adapting the organization of content according to the users' needs status and generally make this organization context aware.
In parallel, the emerging need for controlling access to this content using sophisticated ways is also becoming an issue of
even greater importance, with the focus being shifted to the actual content that needs to be protected, rather that the
principals we are protecting the content from.
In this context, this special issue aims at presenting innovative techniques and ideas on the organization and delivery of
content in distributed systems in an efficient way, while taking care of the security and privacy aspects emerging out of the
nature of the content itself.

For this, this Special Issue of JIT is addressing a call to researchers and academics for innovative papers submissions on the
following (not limited) list of topics:

? Scalable protocols and techniques for content routing, delivery and management in information centric network.
? Naming issues in information centric networking.
? Security and privacy preservation in content distribution in distributed systems and information centric networks.
? Content classification and searching based on semantic characteristics.
? Dynamic organization of content adapted to users? profiles.
? Decentralized protocols for content discovery and distribution.
? Content search, distribution and retrieval over peer to peer systems.
? Scalable, probabilistic protocols for controlling content management in large scale systems.
? Application of biological models in content distribution and discovery.

Instructions for Manuscripts

Each paper, written in English, should be no more than 5000 Words, including references and illustrations. More information

Subject: [Icn-interest] Call For Papers - IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Emerging Design Choices in Name-Oriented Networking - IEEE NOMEN 2012
Message-ID: <[email-masked]>

********* CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE NOMEN 2012 *********

  IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Emerging Design Choices  
           in Name-Oriented Networking

******* in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2012 *******

March 30, 2012 
Orlando, Florida 

Scope of the conference

Exponential growth of video traffic and on-line storage services in
recent years has brought performance degradation to previously
successful services. Networks increasingly rely on Content-Distribution
Networks (CDNs) to deliver popular services like YouTube, Deezer,
Spotify and MegaUpload to an ever growing user population. Moreover,
more and more users are gaining access to the network via smart mobile
devices equipped with multiple wireless and wired interfaces, capable of
storing a huge amount of data and running all kinds of network services.
Network connectivity is thus increasingly heterogeneous, of variable
quality and intermittent.

In view of these trends, network providers and vendors are seeking to
develop a more flexible network infrastructure, natively incorporating
in-network storage, mobility, multi-path forwarding, and multi-homing.
In particular, the concept of name-oriented networking (also referred to
as content-centric or information-centric networking) is taking center
stage in recent research on the architecture of the future Internet.
Instead of host-to-host communication, as in the current Internet
architecture, name-oriented network architecture makes named data a
first class entity. It cares about which data to fetch instead of which
host to reach, using data names to retrieve content instead of addresses
of data containers. 
This basic idea has spawned a number of network architecture proposals
that share common principles, including in-network storage, multi-path
data forwarding, multiparty communication, mobility support and
tolerance of intermittent connectivity, but differ, sometimes
fundamentally, in the way they would be achieved.

The objective of the workshop is to present original work on emerging
design choices within the scope of name-oriented networking enabling a
reasoned comparison of their respective advantages and more clearly
identifying the issues and solutions that transcend these differences.
We solicit submissions of original work pertaining to the design,
development, performance evaluation and analysis of network
architectures centered on named data.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    * Naming
    * Security and privacy
    * Name-oriented routing protocols
    * Forwarding strategies
    * Network management and operations
    * Mobility management
    * Delay tolerant networks
    * In-network caching techniques
    * Performance Evaluation
    * Router designs
    * Resource management and congestion control
    * Transport protocols
    * Traffic engineering
    * New application designs and use cases
    * Implementation and deployment experience
    * Business models and economic issues
