CALL FOR PAPERS

Objectives

In the past few years, there has been a renewed worldwide interest in
future Internet architectures, leading to early-stage research programs
such as NSF FIND/GENI in the US, FP7 in Europe and NWGN in Japan.
The objective of these R&D programs is to evolve or re-architect the
Internet protocol to improve security and usability, incorporate new
optical and wireless technologies and better serve the next generation
of content, mobile and pervasive network services. The International
Workshop on the Network of the Future (FutureNet) is a platform for both
evolutionary and clean-slate approaches for redesign of the Internet.
The event will uniquely bring together approaches driven by mobile and
wireless requirements, network virtualization, network self-management,
content and sensor networking and discuss these from both a technical as
well as socio-economic perspective.

Topics of Interest

The workshop invites contributions that report early results addressing
research challenges on topics related to the network of the future. The
organizers seek to identify and address issues with potential for
significant impact on the design and use of the future Internet. The
workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners -
fresh ideas in the form of early results, position papers, systems
papers and prototyping experience are particularly welcome.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

- Re-design and re-evaluation of today's architectural principles
- End-to-end virtualization of the network
- Programmable network equipment such as routers
- Alternatives to established technologies such as routing
- New optical layer networking technologies
- Self-management of networks
- New media-aware transport services
- New approaches to network security and user privacy
- Mechanisms to interconnect extremely heterogeneous edge networks
- Technology based on new communication paradigms
- Enabling technologies for the Internets of Things
- Machine-to-machine networking


Paper Submission Guidelines

All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length
of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures. Papers with
more than six (6) pages will not be reviewed. Standard IEEE Transactions
templates found at
