ICN 2020 : 7th ACM conference on Information Centric Networking

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Development, refinement, and extension of existing ICN architectures;
• Design and implementation of global and local information-centric approaches, including named-data, publish-subscribe, and distribution-oriented systems
• Global routing, forwarding, and caching for information-centric networks
• Feature advancement of ICN including policing, QoS, multimedia transport, and adaptive network functions
• ICN implementation approaches based on software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), or other emerging technologies
• Experiences with application of information-centric networking and computation in various domains such as Internet-of-things, personal communications, public content distribution/exchange, etc.
• Information-centric networking as an approach in mobile or constrained environments including 5G and network slicing, vehicular networking, autonomous driving, and machine-to-machine communication
• Information-centric solutions for integrating big data platforms and machine learning frameworks
• AI/ML techniques to support ICN networks management
• Approaches to coexistence/evolution of information-centric and host-centric networking, including IP-based protocols in support of information-centric operations
• Virtualization, operation, and orchestration of named network resources including forwarding, storage, computation, and the distributed Web
• Platforms allowing specification of computations on data, and orchestration of such computations, including named computing functions at the network edge
• Software design and architectures to support ICN including testing and verification
• Information-centric network management including zero-conf bootstrapping
• Measurement and analysis of protocols, applications, and infrastructure for distribution of named content
• Security services including confidentiality and access control, authentication, and non-repudiation, as well as infrastructure resilience
• Privacy of consumers and producers of content objects
• Namespace management approaches, case studies, and empirical evaluation campaigns
• Incentives, money flow, and other sociotechnical aspects of information-centric networking.
