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

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
