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 .
