<br>
Computing networks combine communication and computing resources
to acquire, transmit, <br>
process and act upon data, often under delay, computational and
bandwidth constraints, and <br>
with stringent performance, resilience and security requirements.
They may include middleboxes <br>
for performing various functionalities, including in-network
processing, executing network <br>
functions, potentially in complex topologies, with an emphasis on
the interplay between <br>
computing and communication, and the resulting services and
functionality. Due to limited <br>
resource availability, one needs to jointly consider computing and
networking resources to <br>
optimize end-to-end performance. Computing networks will play an
essential role in fixed and <br>
mobile communication networks, and will also be crucial in future
industrial control systems, <br>
transportation, smart environments, and digital manufacturing. <br>
<br>
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working
on theoretical and systems <br>
aspects of computing networks, with an emphasis on novel
networking architectures and <br>
algorithms that support computing and on computing architectures
and algorithms that can <br>
adapt to the network. <br>
</p>
<p>The workshop will include presentations of accepted papers, and
will feature an exciting series <br>
of keynote talks by R. Srikant (UIUC) and Jens Schmitt (University
of Kaiserslautern). Authors of <br>
selected top ranked papers will be invited to submit an extended
version of their paper to <br>
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management for fast-track
processing.<br>
<br>
The workshop invites both theoretical and experimental
contributions, the topics of interest <br>
include but are not limited to:<br>
- Network and computing architectures for computing systems (SDN,
NFV, cloud infrastructures)<br>
- Service and function chaining <br>
- Stochastic models for computing networks <br>
- Game theoretical models and economics of computing networks <br>
- Resource management for computing networks<br>
- Measurement studies of computing networks<br>
- Network-aware algorithm design <br>
- Algorithm-aware network design<br>
- Protocol support for computing networks<br>
- Algorithmic support for computing networks<br>
- Applications of computing networks (smart grids, autonomous
driving, smart manufacturing, etc)<br>
<br>
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:<br>
Submitted papers should be unpublished work and they should not be
under review by any other <br>
conference or journal. Papers should be no longer than 6 pages
(IEEE double-column, 10pt) in total <br>
including references and figures. Guidelines on paper formatting
are available here. Please submit <br>
your paper in PDF format, and embed all fonts in the PDF to avoid
printing issues. Papers will be <br>
reviewed single-blind. Please follow the submission link on EDAS
for submitting your paper. <br>
<br>
Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published
by IFIP and will be submitted <br>
for publication in IEEEXplore. At least one author of each
accepted paper is required to register and <br>
present the paper at the workshop.<br>
