Internet Conference 2016 Call for Posters/Demos

Schedule: October 11th-12th, 2016
Venue: Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo

Internet in Japan has started in the academic side; in the era when the Internet technologies are not prevalent in Japanese industry, the academic conference for Internet technologies, i.e., Internet Conference (IC), had some special role to serve as the only venue to learn about Internet and its technologies. However, as time passes by, nowadays the Internet technologies are not uncommon in industry. As such, the role expected for IC is changing today.

We, the program committee chairs of IC2016, believe that an academic conference should serve as a venue to present cutting edge technologies and deepest investigations of the topic of interests through the strict process of the program development. But we also have been worried that, especially in Japan, there are only few venues (if not none) which offer decent paper review with competitive paper selection. Rather, a conference in Japan (typically become domestic one, conducted in Japanese) tends to pursue more openness, friendliness, and eventually falling to an entry-level conference, which has sadly only few impacts and visibility to the world. IC does not seem to be the exception.

The areas of the topic for the conference are listed below but not limited to:

  • Internet (network) operation, Internet exchange
  • Routing technologies
  • Transport protocols
  • Operating systems, virtualization
  • Measurement and analysis of the Internet
  • Network architectures (clean-slate approach)
  • High-speed packet processing technologies
  • Testbeds for validating new network technologie
  • Software-Defined Network (SDN)
  • Cloud computing
  • Security for communication networks
  • Governance on the Internet
