                            Call For Papers
                            ---------------

The development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN -- also
referred to as data centric networking, content centric networking,
networking of information, etc.) concepts is one of the significant
results of different international Future Internet research
activities. In such approaches, the principal paradigm is not
host-to-host communication as in the current Internet
architecture. Instead, an increasing demand for highly scalable and
efficient distribution of content has motivated the development of
architectures that focus on information objects, their properties, and
receiver interest in the network to achieve efficient and reliable
distribution of such objects. Corresponding network architectures can
leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through
replication and interaction models such as publish-subscribe to
provide general platforms for communication services that are today
only available in dedicated systems such as peer-to-peer overlays and
proprietary content-distribution networks.

Important research topics for ICN include: naming and addressing (how
to name information objects, how to represent location information),
routing and resolution (deciding on how to forward "interest" in
information and actual information objects, whether and how to resolve
information object names to lower layer identifiers during that
process), resource management (implications of in-network caching and
paradigms such as receiver-orientation to resource sharing, congestion
control etc.) and security (privacy, data protection and key
distribution have to be adapted to the new communication models).
This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric
Networking architecture topics as well as on results from
implementations and experimentation. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:

* Naming and addressing in ICN
* Routing and name resolution in ICN
* Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control)
* Security, privacy and trust in ICN
* Testbeds and simulation frameworks
* Business and deployment aspects
* New application opportunities with ICN
* Design and definition of the basic ICN primitives
* Accountability in ICN (e.g. referrals, click-throughs, etc)
* Billing, costing and invoicing for ICN traffic
* Metadata and network extensions for ICN
* Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc)
* PDUs, fragmentation and “packet size” implications on design
* Overlays and underlays with ICN
* ICNs in mobile networks
* Concurrency, locking and synchronization for ICN data
* Versioning, deletion, revocation and general ICN object management
* Monitoring, troubleshooting and management tools for ICNs
