CALL FOR PARTICIPATION -- WORKSHOP -- SUMMER SCHOOL

I invite you to participate in the I-CAN* Workshop and Intensive Summer School on 

            *** Information-Centric Access Networks ***

that will take place at the Athens University of Economics and Business, Athens, Greece from 

            2 to 5 June 2015

(Workshop: June 2-3, Summer School: June 2-5): http://mm.aueb.gr/i-can/workshop/index.php

Participation is free of charge, however registration is required: http://mm.aueb.gr/i-can/workshop/registration.php

Scope: Research on Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been gaining momentum. ICN and other Future Internet architectures have already given signs that they can form a solid foundation upon which the future Internet can be built. Inspired by the fact that the Internet is increasingly used for the dissemination of information, rather than the pairwise communication between end hosts, ICN better reflects the current communication needs by promoting information-awareness at the network layer and making content a first class citizen. However, ICN goes beyond serving as a new networking paradigm for content distribution, taking advantage of information-awareness as the means for addressing a series of limitations of the current Internet architecture, shaping the development of future wireless and mobile access networks, and satisfying the requirements of emerging and future services and applications. 

During the I-CAN workshop 15 distinguished speakers from academia and industry (http://mm.aueb.gr/i-can/workshop/speakers.php) are scheduled to discuss:

- Issues with the current Internet architecture and the future of networking

- The core ICN functionality

- Several ICN architectural approaches

- Key research challenges for ICN

- ICN in wired, wireless, and mobile access networks

Moreover, Summer School participants will obtain hands-on experience with ICN implementations and simulators.

The Summer School is targeted to students (from senior undergraduates to senior Ph.D. students) and junior researchers interested in ICN and access networks.
