These efforts can be described as a refactoring of router and switch functionality into modular components and well-defined interfaces, with the goal of enabling greater extensibility in networks. Extensible network infrastructure would enable the deployment of new network services, customization of networks for different applications and customers, easier network management and so forth. Efforts in this space span the range from open APIs for select management, data and control plane functions to various open router platforms including software-based routers, open firmware and open hardware platforms. Programmable network elements hold the promise of accelerating innovation and service deployment in networks. At the same time, greater programmability could exacerbate already challenging network management tasks. This workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers and industry practitioners with a goal of driving service innovation in IP networks using novel extensible router and switch architectures. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Abstractions for programmable network elements. * Architectures for open/programmable network elements, including transport, wireless and packet forwarding devices. * Efficient and flexible data plane programmability. * Cross-layer aware programmability. * Network element virtualization. * Network composition, configuration and provisioning in virtualized environments. * Platforms and APIs for network wide control and service programming. * Programmable network elements for cloud computing and datacenter networking. * Architectures, services and/or service features enabled by programmability. * The impact of programmability on network management and operations. The workshop solicits original papers on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers on the challenges raised above. Papers that bring out new and interesting approaches at an early stage of their development are very welcome as are papers that describe industry efforts related to the CFP. Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be a PDF file. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Paper submission details TBD. Important dates --------------- Abstract Submission - August 6, 2010 Paper Submission - August 13, 2010 Notification of Acceptance - September 17, 2010 Camera-ready Papers Due - October 8, 2010 Workshop - November 30, 2010 Committee --------- TPC co-chairs T.

Motivation ---------- The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regards to its original design principles. Although these developments are necessary in the short term to allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present economical, technical and social conditions, in combination, they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. ReArch?10 - the third instance of this workshop since its very successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. As an experiment for the 2010 workshop, we encourage submissions that identify the core of an architectural disagreement between the co-authors, perhaps in point-counterpoint style. To be accepted, such papers must meet the same quality criteria as traditional papers. If more than one co-author of such a paper can attend the workshop, a panel format will be used. Otherwise, one co-author will be expected to speak for both sides of the argument. Topics ------ ReArch?10 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the following impact: * New networking paradigms * New architecture proposals and their implications for research and operations * New protocols to address specific architectural limitations * Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself * Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the diverse interests of stakeholders in the architecture * Principles of evolving future architectures * New business and policy models * Tension between security and evolvability of an architecture * Novel approaches to traditional networking problems such as traffic engineering, congestion control, availability, routing, mobility, etc. * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions ----------- Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be formatted according to the standard ACM double column format *except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submission instructions will be posted later.
