            November 7-11th, 2011
              Berlin, Germany

The increasing complexity and fundamental problems in today's Internet
architectural design and its deployment have led to significant research
efforts in the area of Future Internet (FI) in Europe and Clean Slate Design
(CSD) in the U.S. In this context, the OpenFlow initiative
has recently caught the attention of researchers and even router vendors.

The objective of the OFELIA/CHANGE Summer School is to bring together PhD
students and researchers who are currently working on future Internet topics
such as:

  * Principles of evolving future architectures
  * New networking paradigms
  * OpenFlow-related topics
  * Programmable networks, NetFPGAs
  * Network virtualization
  * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify
architectural limitations
  * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability

The program will contain presentations by well-known international
experts on various topics.


PhD students are encouraged to submit a two pages extended abstract
describing their current research results. After having submitted their
abstract, all PhD students will be asked to comment and discuss some of
the other submitted abstracts. This will allow the PhD students to
discuss about their ongoing research with other PhD students before to
summer school to ease discussion and cooperation among PhD students. The
number of places is limited and PhD students who have submitted
abstracts will have priority over other registrations.

Submissions

Submitted abstracts must be at most two pages long, including
all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be
formatted according to the standard ACM double column format.

  Submission Deadline:          July 22, 2011
  Discussion phase:     until August 15, 2011
