Call for Papers

   FutureNet V
   Fifth International Workshop on the Network of the Future
   IEEE ICC 2012 Workshop

Ottawa Convention Centre, Ottawa, Canada, June 2012

http://www.futureinter.net/

o Important Dates

   * Submission deadline:     30 November, 2011
   * Acceptance notification: 15 January,  2012
   * Final manuscript due:       February, 2012 (TBA)
   * Workshop date:           11 June or 15 June, 2012

o Objectives

   Today's Internet architecture is stifling innovation; restricting it
   mostly to the application layer. From a number of angles it appears
   that we have reached a point in the impressive development cycle of
   the Internet that now requires some major change.  In the past few
   years, there has been a renewed worldwide interest in future
   Internet architectures, leading to early-stage research programs
   such as NSF FIND/FIA/GENI in the US, FP7 Network of the Future/FIRE
   in Europe and NWGN in Japan. The objective of these R&D programs
   is to evolve or re-architect the Internet protocol to improve
   security and usability, incorporate new optical and wireless
   technologies and better serve the next generation of content, mobile
   and pervasive network services. The International Workshop on the
   Network of the Future (FutureNet) is a platform for both
   evolutionary and clean-slate approaches for redesign of the
   Internet. The event will uniquely bring together approaches driven
   by mobile and wireless requirements, network virtualization, network
   self-management, content and sensor networking and discuss these
   from both a technical as well as socio-economic perspective.

o Topics of Interest

   We solicit contributions that report early results addressing
   research challenges on topics related to the network of the future.
   Particularly, we want to identify and address issues with a very
   high potential for significant impacts on the way the network is
   functioning and being used. The workshop welcomes submissions from
   both researchers and practitioners but fresh ideas in the form of
   early results. Position papers and systems papers are particularly
   welcome.

o Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

   * Re-design and re-evaluation of today's architectural principles
   * End-to-end virtualization of the network
   * Programmable network equipment such as routers
   * New mobile networking technologies
   * Alternatives to established technologies such as routing
   * New optical layer networking technologies
   * Self-management of networks
   * New media-aware transport services
   * New approaches to network security and user privacy
   * Mechanisms to interconnect extremely heterogeneous edge networks
   * Technology based on new communication paradigms
   * Enabling technologies for the Internets of Things
   * Machine-to-machine networking
   * Publish/subscribe network architectures
   * Policy and social issues in future architectures

o Paper Submission Guidelines

   All submissions to ICC 2012 Workshop on FutureNet V should be
   written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed
   pages (10-point font) including figures. Authors may submit an
   additional page (i.e., 6 pages total) if they agree to provide a
   one-page fee if the paper is accepted for publication. You may use
   the standard IEEE conference templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX
   formats found at the IEEE website. PDF versions in A4 format have to
   be submitted via EDAS. Please follow the updates at the ICC 2012
   Website .
