Third-party mobile applications such as Apple Siri, iCloud, and Yelp are rapidly growing everyday and greatly enrich our lives. The eco-system for mobile applications is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. Even one of the most popular mobile OS -- Android operation system is open source. This allows many phone and tablet vendors to innovate on the hardware and firmware. Underpinning this mobile world, it is the cellular networks. Unfortunately, the cellular networks present a rather disheartening picture. They are closed, mostly proprietary, and constructed using closed monolithic equipments. The innovation is limited to a very small number of equipment vendors, not open to the general research community. As a result, cellular networks are prone to outages, dropped calls, performance problems, and hard to manage. The closed nature of cellular networks threatens to derail the mobile revolution or limit its true potential. Research innovation in mobile cellular networks is hampered by the fact that most academic researchers have no access to cellular radios, source codes of cellular network equipments, cellular network management tools, and realistic network traces at scale. As a result, most wireless research is conducted using WiFi. We believe this situation much change. To effect change, this workshop brings network operators, and academic researchers together to address the problems. First, we would like academic researchers to understand operational aspects of cellular network. Second, we would like researchers from academia and industry to jointly identify the challenges, and propose future designs so that cellular networks can evolve to meet the growing challenges of a mobile world. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on cellular networks. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: ? Operation aspects: ? Radio resource allocation and usage profiling ? Cellular network architecture characterization ? Understanding and modeling cellular data traffic ? Cellular network security ? Challenges facing today's cellular networks: ? Cellular network management ? Mobility ? Energy efficiency ? Spectrum shortage ? Future cellular network design: ? Architectures ? Protocols ? Algorithms ? Security and privacy - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. - Important Dates Paper Registration March 23, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Submissions due March 30, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of acceptance May 11, 2012 Camera ready version due June 1, 2012 Workshop date August 13, 2012 Please email the general chairs with any questions you may have. - Organizers Program Committee Co-Chairs Li Erran Li (Bell Labs) Z.

Open interfaces to network switches enable more flexible and predictable network control, and they make it easier to extend network function. During the past few years, several router vendors have introduced software development kits for programming their network devices, and several commercial switches now support the emerging OpenFlow standard. Researchers have proposed new applications that can run on top of a software defined network, including dynamic access control, server load balancing, energy-efficient networking, and seamless client mobility and virtual-machine migration. Many research and industry groups worldwide are pursuing different aspects of software defined networking, and experimental and production deployments exist. Still, many important research challenges remain: how to design switches and APIs that offer greater flexibility without compromising performance; how to design a software platform for the control and management of software defined networks; how to design new applications that capitalize on the programmability of the network; how to lower the barrier to creating, testing, and evaluating new applications; how to transition an existing network to SDN, and how a software defined network can interoperate with existing protocols and devices; and many others. The goal of the workshop is to explore recent research and developments related to SDN; to allow an exchange of ideas; to encourage broad interaction between industry and academia; and to help build a wider community to explore and realize the potential of SDN. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on Software Defined Networking. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: ? Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, and backbone networks ? Application of SDN to network management, performance monitoring, security, etc. ? Virtual appliances (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, etc.) on SDN ? Virtualization support in software-defined networks ? Switch designs for SDN ? Application Programming Interfaces for SDN ? Control and management software stack for SDN ? Programming languages, verification techniques, and tools for SDN ? Performance evaluation of SDN network elements and controllers ? Experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks ? Hybrid SDN approaches (integration with other control planes) ? Transitioning existing networks to SDN ? Placement and factoring of SDN control logic - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee.

Based on the ICN concepts, the principal communication paradigm is no longer end-to-end data delivery between hosts as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, ICN-based network architectures focus directly on retrieving information objects securely, reliably, scalably, and efficiently. These architectural design efforts aim to directly address the network challenges that arise from the increasing demand for highly scalable content distribution, from accelerated growths of mobile devices, and from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT). The resulting network architectures are expected to leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models to provide effective and efficient data distribution in the communication services, and to provide effective solutions in securing the network infrastructure as well as user data. Call for Papers This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. - Topics ? Naming and addressing ? Routing and name resolution ? Routing and name resolution scalability ? Support for mobility ? Support for / avoidance of middle boxes ? Models and/or compensation schemes for user contribution to network resources (bandwidth, storage for caching, battery, processing, name resolution, etc.) ? Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control) ? Security, privacy and trust ? Testbeds and simulations frameworks ? Metadata and network extensions ? Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc) ? PDUs, fragmentation and "packet size" implications on design ? Should ICN be an overlay or an underlay? ? Performance evaluation ? Inter-domain operations (protocols, policies, etc.) ? Limitations of ICNs - Submission Instructions All submissions must be original work that has not been submitted to any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be in PDF format. Reviews will be single-blind: please include authors name and affiliation in the submission Submissions must follow the SIGCOMM formatting guidelines that will be posted at athttp://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cfp.php.
