CFP: 2nd IEEE CCNC Workshop on Future Internet Architecture (FI4D), Las Vegas, USA

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~al773/fi4d/2017/program.html <https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~al773/fi4d/2017/program.html> Our apologies for possible cross posting. ================================================================ Call for Papers The 2nd International Workshop on Future Internet Architecture (FI4D) 2017, 8 January 2017, Las Vegas, USA Held in conjunction with IEEE CCNC 2017 https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~al773/fi4d/2017/ccnc_fi4d.html <https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~al773/fi4d/2017/ccnc_fi4d.html> ================================================================ Scope ========== Information Centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a promising paradigm for shaping the Future Internet (FI) architectures, oriented towards the management of the massive amount of information. ICN moves from the host-centric to the information-centric networking to decouple the delivery of contents from their original locations. This new paradigm allows the fetching and pre-fetching of contents and services from virtually everywhere, including pushing the information closer to the end user. The latter aspect allows optimizing bandwidth utilization and improving the service availability, especially in challenged network environments. Particular ICN aspects that facilitate such optimization are, among others, the support for in-network caching and the convenient naming of content. While these characteristics only create temporary relationships between content providers and consumers or foster the potential to utilize multipath communication and supporting multicast delivery (due to the spatial and temporary decoupling of publishers and subscribers). One benefit from this optimization is to provide a unified framework to integrate constrained-resourced edge networks (e.g., Internet of Things) and high capacity core networks. In most developing regions, residential Internet access is considerably less affordable due to the experienced income levels. People living in rural communities of these regions either suffer from lacking of Internet access or poor Internet connectivity. These conditions have led to a limited opportunity for rural communities to connect to the world and has significantly caused a digital divide. The advantages offered by ICN along with wireless access and distribution technologies (TV White Spaces, satellite communications or Wi-Fi based long distance networks) introduce potential to improve the Internet connectivity in developing regions aiming at minimizing the cost of Internet deployment and potentially allowing commodity hardware to be an alternative. Furthermore, the recent rising of localized communication approaches, e.g., community networks and do-it-yourself networking (DIY) also bring benefits on providing a low-cost solution for network deployment. With the efficient content delivery in ICN and low-cost, practical solutions, these capabilities will leverage affordable broadband Internet for the developing regions. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * ICN architecture design and evaluation * ICN integration with current IP-based services * Use of wireless access technologies for development such as TV White Spaces, satellite communications or Wi-Fi based long distance networks * Caching technologies * ICN integration with Alternative Network Deployments * Integrated Internet of Things and ICN solutions for the developing world * Privacy, security and trust for Future Internet architectures * Localized communication networks and edge computing * Applications and services for developing regions * Future Internet economics and business models * Deployment and trial experiences of ICN systems Important Dates ========================= Submission Deadline: September 7, 2016 Notification: October 12, 2016 Camera Ready: November 2, 2016 Organising Committee ========================= Andrés Arcia-Moret (University of Cambridge, UK) Adisorn Lertsinsrubtavee (University of Cambridge, UK) Marco Zennaro, ICTP, Italy Technical Program Committee ========================= Antoine Bagula, University of Western Cape, South Africa Bjorn Pehrson, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and University of Bergen, Sweden Carles Gomez, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain Carlos Molina-Jimenez, University of Cambridge, UK David Jonhson, Networks and Media group, University of Cape Town, South Africa Ermanno Pietrosemoli, Marconi Lab, ICTP, Italy Gareth Tyson, Queen Mary University of London, UK Ioannis Komnios, Internetworked Systems Lab, Greece Jorg Ott, Technical University of Munich, Germany Jose Aguilar, University of Los Andes, Venezuela Jose Saldana, University of Zaragoza, Spain Junaid Qadir, Information Technology University (ITU), Pakistan Marica Amadeo, Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, Italy Miguel Elias Mitre Campista, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Raluca Diaconu, University of Cambridge, UK Sandor Markon, Kobe Institute of Computing, Graduate School of Information Technology, Japan Thomas Silverston, Université de Lorraine INRIA / LORIA / Madynes, France Tuan-Minh Pham, Hanoi National University of Education, Vietnam - A/A/

TNC16: Student Contest, Call for Posters and Lightning Talks
by Gergana Petrova 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi all, A quick message about TNC16, which takes place 12-16 June 2016 in Prague: https://tnc16.geant.org/ Student contest - Deadline 15 April GÉANT invites students from all disciplines to participate in an exciting challenge, revolving around the theme of this year's networking conference, TNC16, "Building the internet of people". The TNC16 student competition is centered around the question "How would you improve the internet of people?". In order to pitch their ideas, participants should submit a 3 minute video with a supporting description. A group of finalists will receive fee waivers to attend the conference and to showcase their ideas during a plenary session in front of a panel of experts. The contest winner will be awarded with the “Best new idea prize 2016” during an official ceremony at TNC16. https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/student Call for Posters - Deadline 15 April In past years many TNC participants have created high-quality poster presentations. An effective poster presentation should summarise your work with graphs and images to tell the story and should use text sparingly. Presenting a poster at TNC16 will serve as an excellent advertisement for your work, and can act as a great conversation starter with other TNC participants. https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/guidelines Give a Lightning Talk - Deadline 15 April Lightning talks are 5-minute presentations focusing on one key point: this can be an idea, a successful project, a cautionary tale, a collaboration invitation, a quick tip or a demonstration. Use this time wisely to present the pertinent message of the subject matter without the need for background history, the problem space or a business-case justification. Lightning talks are an excellent opportunity for first-time speakers. We will have in total 32 lightning talks at TNC16. https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/guidelines Please note, RIPE NCC is not organising this and I cannot give you more information. I just thought it's nice to share on the list. For questions, please ask the organisers at: tnc16(a)lists.geant.org Cheers, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE Network Coordination Centre Singel 258, 1016 AB Amsterdam, The Netherlands T: +31 20 535 4444 www.ripe.net

by Marc Werner 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the submission for RIPE 72: a) Is the 500 words limit for the slides that need to be submitted beforehand or for the abstract to be provided in the application form? b) How long is the presentation meant to be? Are the 30 minutes for “stand-alone presentations” are also applied to the RACI submissions or are there other slots assigned? c) Are the presentation slides due with the application or can they be handed in later? It would be great to hear from you and I am looking forward to hopefully meet you in Copenhagen. Best regards, Marc

The topics described below are an indication of the scope of the conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. *Building the Internet of People* >From the start of the Internet, well over 30 years ago, NRENs have been in the business of building network infrastructure, not only to connect campuses to each other and to the rest of the internet, but also to connect people belonging to many different communities worldwide. Not only do NRENs provide the basic network infrastructure on which research and education, big science and big data are built, they also address the requirements of ever-increasing and diverse communities of end users in areas as diverse as trust, security, identity, and a wide range of tools for collaboration. With the TNC16 Call for Proposals we invite you to explore the challenges that the research and education networking community faces while continuing to build the internet of people. Submissions are sought for a single presentation or a full session that attempt to answer, but are not limited to answering questions such as: * What is needed to further satisfy the changing research and education user needs? * How can NRENs best cope with the changing landscape of funding and security requirements? * What roles in the area of cloud services are, and are not, suitable for an NREN? * How can developed and developing NRENs more closely collaborate with each other, on a regional, European and global scale? * Which advances in technology are hot, and relevant for the NRENs, in 2016 and beyond? *Other ways to participate* * *Meeting proposa*l - If you wish to organise a meeting or workshop immediately before, after or around TNC16, please contact <tnc16(a)lists.geant.org> before 15 January 2016. * * Lightning talks* (Round 1) – midnight CET, 12 February 2016 - Please indicate on your single presentation submission if it could be considered as a lightning talk proposal as well. * * Lightning talks* (Round 2), *posters*, *full papers* – midnight CEST, 15 April 2016 - Announcement for the call will be sent out in February 2016. * *Sponsorship* - For information please contact <gyongyi.horvath(a)geant.org> * *Demonstrations and exhibits* - companies or projects wishing to participate should contact: <tnc16(a)lists.geant.org> *About TNC* TNC is the largest and most prestigious annual networking conference for higher education and research in Europe, with around 650 participants.

Application for RIPE 71
by sarah.wassermann＠student.ulg.ac.be 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Dear RACI-members, I am a first-year Master-student at the University of Liège (Belgium) and involved in research in the field of network measurement. During the summer I had the opportunity to do a research-internship during which I worked a lot with the RIPE Atlas framework. We have interesting ideas and projects we want to work on using RIPE Atlas in the future and thus I wanted to apply for RIPE 71. I've read in the application guidelines that one has to provide slides of what one wants to talk about. However, on the application form ( https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/raci/application ), I can't see any field for submitting slides. Could you please explain me if I have to submit the slides in the context of the application (and if yes, how?) or only after being accepted? Thank you a lot in advance for your help. Best regards, Sarah Wassermann

by Fergal Cunningham 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Dear all, We just posted the message announcing the approaching deadline (this Friday, 12 September) for applications for RACI grants to RIPE 69. In promoting RACI to researchers and academics, one of the difficulties we have is to be able to make sure the right candidates receive the information regarding RACI. All of our regular mailing lists and other communication channels are directed towards the established Internet community. We also post announcements about RACI on Twitter and Facebook. If you have ideas or suggestions on how we might be better able to reach Internet researchers and academics across our service region (Europe, the Middle East, Russia and the CIS), I ask that you post your suggestions to this list or email me directly. If there are specific channels you are aware of that we might use to spread the word about RACI, we would also be very interested to hear about these. I look forward to hearing from you. Fergal Cunningham RIPE NCC Dear colleagues, This coming Friday, 12 September 2014, is the closing date for applications from academics who wish to attend the RIPE 69 Meeting in London, 3-8 November 2014, as part of the RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI): https://ripe69.ripe.net/programme/raci/ The package for successful applicants includes the cost of RIPE Meeting tickets, accommodation, travel to and from London, lunch on each day of the meeting and access to social events. Students and researchers from within the RIPE NCC service region are encouraged to apply for this unique opportunity to present their work to leading technical figures in the Internet world. Please share this information with any colleagues or contacts who might wish to apply. We also invite you to join the new RIPE academic cooperation mailing list, which aims to strengthen ties between the RIPE and academic communities by providing a platform to discuss matters of common interest: https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/raci-list/ Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham, RIPE NCC The RACI Coordination Team
