Call for Papers
 
The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to submit your work
for presentation at the 7th ACM conference on Information Centric
Networking (ICN 2020), to be held in Montreal, Canada, September 28-30,
2020.
 
ACM ICN 2020 is a single-track conference focusing on significant
research contributions to ICN as broadly defined, and featuring paper
presentations, posters, and demonstrations.
 
ICN deals with all aspects of an information- or data-centric approach
toward supporting networked applications. Such an approach treats
digital objects (i.e., collections of bits) as first-class objects, and
supports identification, creation, retrieval, authentication, and access
control for such objects through a global service.
 
ACM ICN 2020 solicits research contributions across the full spectrum of
technologies and architectures related to ICN, including work that
advances core ICN concepts, architectures, technologies, and
capabilities; extends current ICN concepts to new networking
environments and use cases; realizes, demonstrates, and quantifies the
benefits of ICN in traditional and emerging application domains; and
catalyzes, incentivizes, simplifies, and supports ICN deployments in
realistic, operational environments and settings.
 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Development, refinement, and extension of existing ICN architectures
* Design and implementation of global and local information-centric
  approaches, including named-data, publish-subscribe, and distribution-
  oriented systems
* Global routing, forwarding, and caching for information-centric
  networks
* Feature advancement of ICN including policing, QoS, multimedia
  transport, and adaptive network functions
* ICN implementation approaches based on software-defined networking
  (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), or other emerging
  technologies
* Experiences with application of information-centric networking and
  computation in various domains such as Internet-of-things, personal
  communications, public content distribution/exchange, etc.
* Information-centric networking as an approach in mobile and/or
  constrained environments including 5G and network slicing, vehicular
  networking, autonomous driving, and machine-to-machine communication
* Information-centric solutions for integrating big data platforms and
  machine learning frameworks
* AI/ML techniques to support ICN networks management
* Approaches to coexistence/evolution of information-centric and
  host-centric networking, including IP-based protocols in support of
  information-centric operations
* Virtualization, operation, and orchestration of named network
  resources including forwarding, storage, computation, and the
  distributed Web
* Platforms allowing specification of computations on data, and
  orchestration of such computations, including named computing
  functions at the network edge
* Software design and architectures to support ICN including testing and
  verification
* Information-centric network management including zero-conf
  bootstrapping
* Measurement and analysis of protocols, applications, and
  infrastructure for distribution of named content
* Security services including confidentiality and access control,
  authentication, and nonrepudiation, as well as infrastructure
  resilience
* Privacy of consumers and producers of content objects
* Namespace management approaches, case studies, and empirical
  evaluation campaigns
* Incentives, money flow, and other sociotechnical aspects of
  information-centric networking.
 
 
Submission Details
 
The conference solicits both full and short papers. Submissions will be
reviewed through a double-blind process, and evaluated on the basis of
intellectual merit, originality, importance of contribution to the
field, soundness and strength of evaluation (for full papers), quality
and clarity of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work.
 
Full papers may be up to 10 pages in length, excluding references,
following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey the results of
mature research. Short papers may be up to 6 pages in length, excluding
references.
 
Short papers should illustrate important challenges or promising new
lines of research in the realm of ICN, either through the presentation
of illuminating early research results or through the vehicle of a
well-reasoned and thought-provoking position statement. Short papers
will be evaluated primarily on their ability to contribute to the future
evolution of ICN research in light of the goals described above.
