Dear ALTOers,
As part of the plan to expand the impact of ALTO, several of us in the WG are working with industrial and academic partners to organize the second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Network-Application Integration (NAI'21). With the submission deadline approaching, we are sending this reminder together with the following call for papers again, to invite your engagement to this workshop. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ----------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2021 ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Network-Application Integration (NAI'21) August 27, 2021 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/workshop-nai.html ----------------------------------------------------- The Internet was designed and launched 50 years ago to satisfy yet unforeseen applications, and the Internet's adaptation and scalability have been proved remarkably successful over the years. However, the general-purpose and best-effort model of the Internet continues to be challenged with an ever-growing demand for more complex applications with stricter application-specific requirements. How can we deliver 4k videos to everybody? How can we ensure ultra-low latency for applications such as self-driving cars and cloud gaming? How do applications adapt when the underlying infrastructure cannot provide the services such as reliability or security? The Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Network-Application Integration/CoDesign (NAI) seeks to build on the success of the first workshop ( https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2020/workshop-nai.html) and continue to foster discussions on this topic. We invite researchers from academia and industry as well as engineers to explore novel ideas and future directions of NAI. Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to: - Network abstraction models (e.g., resource, state) - Exposure of network information and control interfaces - Data collection (e.g., measurement) for network abstraction - Coordination of information and decisions across multiple domains (regions and technology layers) - Data processing techniques to generate network abstraction (e.g., low level, filtering) - Data distribution techniques (i.e., how, when and where to make data available for processing/analysis) for real-time network information exposure - Validation of network abstractions (e.g., conforming to model) - Privacy analysis of exposing network and application information - Economical/game-theoretical analysis of network information/service exposure - Stability design and analysis of application-network control loop - Optimality design and analysis of application-network control loop - Condition management and conflict resolution in complex closed-loop systems - Control with multiple dimensional constraints (privacy, policy, beyond networking) - Co-design for specialized apps (e.g., video, ML, IoT) - Integrating learning and big data analytics (e.g., wide area, application and user) - Experience and deployment of application-network co-design and integration - Application adaptation to network information/service models Submission Instructions： Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. We also encourage industrial demos for which a two-page extended abstract must be submitted in the same format as the workshop papers. Papers and extended abstracts must include author names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the PC. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to present and discuss their work at the workshop. Please submit your paper via https://nai21.hotcrp.com. Please direct any questions to the workshop chairs at [email protected] . *IMPORTANT DATES* Submission deadline: May 21, 2021 Notification deadline: June 9, 2021 Camera-ready: June 30, 2021 Workshop: August 27, 2021 Best Qiao Xiang -- Qiao Xiang Professor, Xiamen University
