Computing networks combine communication and computing resources to
acquire, transmit,
process and act upon data, often under delay, computational and
bandwidth constraints, and
with stringent performance, resilience and security requirements. They
may include middleboxes
for performing various functionalities, including in-network processing,
executing network
functions, potentially in complex topologies, with an emphasis on the
interplay between
computing and communication, and the resulting services and
functionality. Due to limited
resource availability, one needs to jointly consider computing and
networking resources to
optimize end-to-end performance. Computing networks will play an
essential role in fixed and
mobile communication networks, and will also be crucial in future
industrial control systems,
transportation, smart environments, and digital manufacturing.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on
theoretical and systems
aspects of computing networks, with an emphasis on novel networking
architectures and
algorithms that support computing and on computing architectures and
algorithms that can
adapt to the network. 

The workshop will include presentations of accepted papers, and will
feature an exciting series
of keynote talks by R. Srikant (UIUC) and Jens Schmitt (University of
Kaiserslautern). Authors of
selected top ranked papers will be invited to submit an extended version
of their paper to
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management for fast-track
processing.

The workshop invites both theoretical and experimental contributions,
the topics of interest
include but are not limited to:
- Network and computing architectures for computing systems (SDN, NFV,
cloud infrastructures)
- Service and function chaining 
- Stochastic models for computing networks
- Game theoretical models and economics of computing networks
- Resource management for computing networks
- Measurement studies of computing networks
- Network-aware algorithm design
- Algorithm-aware network design
- Protocol support for computing networks
- Algorithmic support for computing networks
- Applications of computing networks (smart grids, autonomous driving,
smart manufacturing, etc)

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Submitted papers should be unpublished work and they should not be under
review by any other
conference or journal. Papers should be no longer than 6 pages (IEEE
double-column, 10pt) in total
including references and figures. Guidelines on paper formatting are
available here. Please submit
your paper in PDF format, and embed all fonts in the PDF to avoid
printing issues. Papers will be
reviewed single-blind. Please follow the submission link on EDAS for
submitting your paper.

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by
IFIP and will be submitted
for publication in IEEEXplore. At least one author of each accepted
paper is required to register and
present the paper at the workshop.

Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2017
Paper acceptance notification: April 12, 2017
