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.

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.

Continuing the HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for presenting and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote community-wide discussion of those ideas. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit short position papers describing such ideas. A paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed and evaluated, the work may be relevant to conferences such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys, NSDI, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom. HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view includes new ideas relating to (but not limited to) home and enterprise networks, ISP networks, sensor and personal area networks, wireless and acoustic networks, data center networks, peer-to-peer networks, network architecture, and disruption-tolerant networks. It encompasses all aspects of such networks, including (but not limited to) resource management, economics and evolution, robustness and security, mobility, interactions with applications, energy, measurement and diagnosis, and hardware. Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed at the workshop. Workshop Participation HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60 people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities: * one author per accepted paper, any speakers invited by the Program Committee, and the Program and Steering Committees, * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students as available travel support allows, and * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 1 inch margins). All submissions must be blind: submissions must not indicate the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in English, render without error using standard tools (e.g., Acrobat Reader), and print on US-Letter sized paper. Papers must contain novel ideas and must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and papers under simultaneous submission.
