ReArch'09 Workshop - Re-Architecting the Internet Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch
Extended Submission Deadline: August 13, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673
The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regards to its original design principles.
Although these developments are necessary in the short term to allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present economical, technical and social conditions, in combination, they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude.
Several substantial Future Internet initiatives are underway in Europe, the Americas and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. The first solution proposals in this space have already started to be analyzed.
ReArch'09 - the second instance of this workshop since its very successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another 30+ years.
This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures.
Topics
ReArch'09 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the following impact:
* New networking paradigms * New business models * New routing architectures * New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations * New architecture proposals and their implications for research and operations * New protocols to address specific architectural limitations * Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself * Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture * Principles of evolving future architectures * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability
Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Submissions
Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be formatted according to the standard ACM double column format *except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submit papers via EDAS at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673
Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009 Notification Deadline: September 10, 2009 Camera Ready Deadline: October 1, 2009 ReArch'09: December 1, 2009
