The 2nd Workshop on Name Oriented Mobility (NOM)
The second edition of the NOM
workshop will be held on
April 28th 2014 in conjunction with
the IEEE INFOCOM 2014 conference after the great success of its
first edition that was held with the ACM MobiHoc 2013 conference.
The NOM workshop is particularly interested in Information Centric
Network (ICN) advances in support of the mobile and wireless space.
Name-oriented network
architectures appear very promising for wireless and mobile
networks, such as for instance IoT among wireless and mobile devices
that could not scale well up till now, home networks among wireless
and mobile hand held devices that constitute the majority of
end-users devices, wireless sensor networks for smart spaces and
vehicular networks which account a large, and exponentially
increasing number of devices and connections that clearly suffer
from the lack of mobility management in the IP architecture and the
lack of an efficient data storage and sharing mean. Moreover, within
the context of multimedia and video services and the huge demand for
highly scalable and efficient distribution of content, ICN is
promising in offering an alternative or complementing to
the proprietary or specialized content distribution mechanisms, such
as CDN and P2P systems, and aims for improved content access through
general Internet mechanisms for content replication and
dissemination among not only core network devices but also wireless
edge network devices and wireless and mobile end-users devices.
We encourage submissions of high quality technical papers on mobile and wireless ICN work in the following topics:
- ICN mobile/wireless architectures and
platforms
- Compelling applications
and services for ICN for wireless and mobile networks (IoT,
smart environments, home networks, ……)
- ICN deployment models for wireless and
mobile networks (Clean-slate, evolutionary, …)
- Technical deployment of
ICN into operational networks (specialized hardware ICN routers,
ICN software into virtualized nodes, etc.)
- ICN scalability to high density network
deployments (e.g. for IoT applications)
- Impact of ICN on mobile/wireless
protocols and systems
- Mobility management in ICN considering
multiple radio technologies
- ICN support for seamless and simultaneous
connectivity across multiple links
- ICN tolerance to disruption in wireless
and mobile links
- Policy management with ICN
- ICN in relation to CDNs and Cloud
Services
- Cooperation between ICN and CDN networks
- Standardization efforts impacting mobile
ICN
- Data naming and Objects Identification in
wireless and mobile networks
- Radio resources management and congestion
control
- Context-awareness in ICN
- Intelligent in-network Caching in ICN for
better network resources optimization and user experience
- ICN role in wireless and mobile User
Experience
- ICN Security and Privacy
- Forwarding strategies in wireless and
mobile ICN
- Performance evaluation for wireless and
mobile ICNs
