Hi all,

Despite my interest in QIRG activity, I could not attend the meeting at last IETF106 for conflict with other meetings reasons.
However, I could attend COINRG.
I think there is an opportunity for interaction between QIRG and COINRG.

The draft "Directions for Computing in the Network" [https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kutscher-coinrg-dir/] mentions a terminology towards a novel "computing in the network (COIN)" approach that revisits the function split between computing and networking.
The document takes one example: "Compute-First Networking with ICN". To assess whether the proposed terminology is generic, it may be interesting to consider other use-cases where the computing is spread within the network.
Another example could then be "Interconnected Quantum Computers".
Indeed, the charter of QIRG mentions an architectural framework to support a first step toward a quantum network architecture [https://datatracker.ietf.org/rg/qirg/about/].

I am not sure about the way towards an interaction between those activities, but starting email discussions may pull a trigger.

I hope this helps,
Kind regards,

Nicolas
