Upcoming Hackathons
by Gergana Petrova 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Dear all, Following tradition, RIPE NCC is organising another hackathon the weekend before the upcoming RIPE 73 meeting in Madrid. This time the focus is on IXP tools. There is travel funding available for 10 participants. You can apply by 15 September. More information: http://bit.ly/2bFy6bQ To apply: http://bit.ly/2bxpJzT Also, there is a more academia-oriented Hackathon "Hackademia! Activism, Scholarship & the Internet" organised in Berlin on 4 October. RIPE NCC is not involved, I just learned about it by chance. For any questions, email Marechal at USC.edu. More information: http://bit.ly/2cbMsQm To register: http://bit.ly/2c27uPp Have a lovely end-of-summer day!

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
