NDN Community Meeting (NDNcomm 2014): Architecture, Applications, and Collaboration

The NDN Project hosted the first NDN community meeting (NDNcomm) on September 4th-5th 2014, the first in a series of meetings.

The talks at NDNcomm will be archived on Livestream for those who who wish to review the meeting remotely.


Date: September 4 (Thu) - 5 (Fri), 2014
Place: Little Theater, Macgowan Hall, UCLA Campus, Los Angeles, CA

Named Data Network: Architecture, Applications, and Collaboration

We are pleased to announce the first NDNcomm meeting: an opportunity to discuss existing capabilities and potential opportunities for the NDN software platform to serve the scientific research community. This 2-day meeting will be hosted by UCLA in the first week of September 2014.

Our goals for this meeting are (to be refined based on community input):

  1. elaborate on the current state of the NDN software platform and supporting libraries and applications
  2. describe state of current operational NDN testbed, and how to participate
  3. showcase external research using the NDN software platform and testbed
  4. debate existing and proposed functionality to support security and privacy at different layers of the architecture
  5. share examples of educational use of NDN, including tutorial material
  6. provide a forum to guide the evolution of the NDN architecture, key implementation artifacts including APIs, and to provide feedback proposing potential changes based on implementation and deployment experience
  7. discuss a vision/roadmap for the community interested in advancing NDN deployment and usability, and how to accelerate deployment, both from research and commercial perspectives
  8. provide an opportunity for interested members of the community to engage in hands-on-training to use NDN software or testbed platforms

Based on community interest and submissions, we are receptive to a variety of forms of participation at this meeting, e.g, technical talks, panels, tutorials, demonstrations, hands-on learning. In order to maximize interaction and dig deeper into selected topics, we will have a series of focused discussion sessions that include a few short talks (10-15 minutes), but leaving lots of time for conversation and debate.

The NDN project uses current and future applications to drive the development and deployment of the architecture and its supporting modules, to test prototype implementations, and to encourage an iterative cycle of hands-on experimentation, evaluation, and design. So, we particularly encourage contributions that consider specific case studies, application requirements, and real-world scenarios.

Registration for this meeting is closed.
