Subject: [sigcomm] PhD School on OpenFlow/Future Internet in Berlin (after

Message-ID: <4E0DABAA.9010301@tik.ee.ethz.ch>

        OFELIA/CHANGE Summer School
            November 7-11th, 2011
              Berlin, Germany
      http://changeofelia.info.ucl.ac.be

The increasing complexity and fundamental problems in today's Internet
architectural design and its deployment have led to significant research
efforts in the area of Future Internet (FI) in Europe and Clean Slate Design
(CSD) in the U.S. In this context, the OpenFlow initiative
has recently caught the attention of researchers and even router vendors.

The objective of the OFELIA/CHANGE Summer School is to bring together PhD
students and researchers who are currently working on future Internet topics
such as:

  * Principles of evolving future architectures
  * New networking paradigms
  * OpenFlow-related topics
  * Programmable networks, NetFPGAs
  * Network virtualization
  * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify
architectural limitations
  * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability

The program will contain presentations by well-known international
experts on various topics.


PhD students are encouraged to submit a two pages extended abstract
describing their current research results. After having submitted their
abstract, all PhD students will be asked to comment and discuss some of
the other submitted abstracts. This will allow the PhD students to
discuss about their ongoing research with other PhD students before to
summer school to ease discussion and cooperation among PhD students. The
number of places is limited and PhD students who have submitted
abstracts will have priority over other registrations.

Submissions

Submitted abstracts must be at most two pages long, including
all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be
formatted according to the standard ACM double column format.

  Submission Deadline:          July 22, 2011
  Discussion phase:     until August 15, 2011

Additional information and a submission website will be available on the
summer school's website : http://changeofelia.info.ucl.ac.be/

                      Call For Participation
                      ----------------------

The development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN -- also
referred to as data centric networking, content centric networking,
networking of information, etc.) concepts is one of the significant
results of different international Future Internet research
activities. In such approaches, the principal paradigm is not
host-to-host communication as in the current Internet
architecture. Instead, an increasing demand for highly scalable and
efficient distribution of content has motivated the development of
architectures that focus on information objects, their properties, and
receiver interest in the network to achieve efficient and reliable
distribution of such objects. Corresponding network architectures can
leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through
replication and interaction models such as publish-subscribe to
provide general platforms for communication services that are today
only available in dedicated systems such as peer-to-peer overlays and
proprietary content-distribution networks.

Important research topics for ICN include: naming and addressing (how
to name information objects, how to represent location information),
routing and resolution (deciding on how to forward "interest" in
information and actual information objects, whether and how to resolve
information object names to lower layer identifiers during that
process), resource management (implications of in-network caching and
paradigms such as receiver-orientation to resource sharing, congestion
control etc.) and security (privacy, data protection and key
distribution have to be adapted to the new communication models).
This workshop features original contributions on Information-Centric
Networking architecture topics as well as on results from
implementations and experimentation. There will also be a panel
discussion on ICN and future research directions that is supported by
a group of renowned experts in the field.
