NGNA 2009 - The International Workshop on Next Generation Network Architecture (NGNA 2009) in conjunction with The IEEE 29th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems

The International Workshop on Next Generation Network Architecture (NGNA 2009)

in conjunction with

The IEEE 29th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009)

Montreal, Quebec, Canada, June 22, 2009





Call for papers [pdf or doc]



The main purpose of this workshop is to bring together members of the research community and practitioners from industry to present new results and approaches to support the future Internet.

The Internet has been a tremendous success, but in many ways, such as the control and the security, it is not meeting the needs of its users. The Internet architecture has had a profound effect on the Internet¡¯s ability. What should the requirements be for a global network of 15 years from now? How can we design a network that is fundamentally more secure and available than today's Internet? How can we build such a network if we are not constrained by the current Internet? Some of the most challenging problems are those associated with the architecture of Internet. This calls for new foundational studies on the science and technology of the next generation network architecture. The workshop not only will provide such a working forum to present and discuss research results to these challenges, but also broaden the awareness of the need for the research.

The main topics for the workshop will be focused on grand challenges, requirements, architectures, and innovations for the next generation network architecture In particular, we are seeking papers in the following main areas (not limit to):

Network Architecture, Principles, and Mechanism
Network Protocol
QoS in Next Generation Network
Switching and Routing in Next Generation Network
Management and Control for Next Generation Network
Security Mechanisms for Next Generation Network
Resource Control in Next Generation Network
Control Information Model in Next Generation Network
NetworkTrust Management
Network Measurements and Testbeds
