IEEE International Workshop on
Information Centric Networking Solutions for Real World Applications
(ICNSRA 2016)
December 8, 2016 / Washington, D.C., U.S.A.
(Organized in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2016)

Call for Papers
---------------
Today's Internet traffic is dominated by content distribution and
retrieval. With the continued, rapid explosion of networked content,
it becomes challenging to efficiently and securely provide quality of
experience to the end-user. Tomorrow’s Internet is expected to
interconnect billions of devices for both machine-to-machine
communications and integration into end-user applications, posing
challenges in addressing, security, and ease of development. To handle
the continued growth of the Internet content and the explosion of
interconnected devices that are expected, Information Centric
Networking (ICN) has emerged as an alternative to the current
host-to-host communication paradigm. ICN has generated significant
interest in the research community recently; as a result, within a
very short period the research activity as well as experimental
deployments of ICN has been significant. The state of the art of ICN
is now at a stage that allow the concerned community of researchers
and potential developers to explore how ICN applications can address
real world problems. The objective of this workshop is to cover the
recent research and development on the experimental evaluation of real
world applications of information centric networking, especially where
key challenges of scalability, security, and ease of authoring
distributed application have been explored. The workshop intends to
stimulate more discussions on state-of-the-art research in this field
and how it can address significant opportunities and challenges
emerging from an increasingly networked world. This workshop will
offer a venue for researchers from both industry and academic to
demonstrate their recent progresses on experimental validation of
Information Centric Networking solutions for the real world
applications as well as to identify remaining challenges towards
broader ICN deployment.
Topics of Interest
------------------
Original papers are welcome on (but not limited to) experimental
validation of Information Centric Networking solutions for the
following real world applications:
- ICN applications for Internet-of-Things
- ICN applications for smart vehicles
- ICN applications for Smart Grid and other critical infrastructure
- ICN for content dissemination
- ICN applications for mobility support
- Social networking applications.
- ICN applications on Real-time audio and video communications
- ICN for infrastructure sharing
- ICN applications within disaster scenarios and contested
environments
