Named Data Networking: Architecture, Applications, and Collaboration

University of California at Los Angeles hosted the second NDN Community Meeting in the last week of September 2015. This two-day meeting provides an opportunity for the community to exchange research experience and results, to discuss the current state and future directions of the NDN architecture, and to identify remaining issues. We also plan to hold a 2-day hackathon on Saturday and Sunday September 26th-27th, the weekend before the meeting.

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.
