  http://ice-ar.named-data.net/meetings.html

* On Monday August 21, 2017 the NDN team conducted a one-day
  SIGCOMM tutorial presenting an introduction to the architectural
  concepts, recent research results, demonstrations of the NDN
  testbed and a set of NDN applications, introductions to the
  open-source codebase and code development, experimental tools,
  NDN emulator, mini-NDN, an NDN simulator, and discussed future
  development. For more details, please see

  Self-learning in Named Data Networking", published in IFIP
  Networking, June 2017 studies how broadcast-based self-learning
  may be applied to NDN networks.

* Jeff Burke, "Browsing an Augmented Reality with Named Data
  Networking" (Invited Paper) published in the proceedings of IEEE
  Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN) 2017
  explores opportunities for an augmented reality web using Named
  Data Networking (NDN), a proposed future Internet architecture
  in which the network forwards intrinsically secure data packets
  directly based on application-defined names. By providing web
  semantics at packet granularity, NDN enables the success of the
  web to be pursued for low-latency, high-granularity, and
  context-dependent media in AR. The paper outlines emerging media
  types that could be part of a new AR browsing experience, briefly
  introduces NDN, describes benefits the architecture should provide
  via an example browser design, and enumerates related open research
  challenges.

* Spyridon Mastorakis, Alexander Afanasyev, Yingdi Yu, Lixia Zhang,
  "nTorrent: Peer-to-Peer File Sharing in Named Data Networking"
  published in the proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer
  Communications and Networks (ICCCN) 2017 presents the design of
  nTorrent, a BitTorrent-like application that is based on the
  natively data-centric NDN network architecture. Through analysis
  and simulation-based experimentations, the paper exposes impacts
  of the network-level data-centricity on the design choices,
  implementation complexity, and protocol operations.

* Alexander Afanasyev, Xiaoke Jiang, Yingdi Yu, Jiewen Tan, Yumin
  Xia, Allison Mankin, and Lixia Zhang, "NDNS: DNS-like Name Service
  for NDN", published in the proceedings of the 26th International
  Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN), July
  2017 presents our experience with the design and development of
  Named Data Networking (NDN) that suggests the need for a similar
  always-on lookup service. To fulfill this need we have designed
  the NDNS (NDN DNS) protocol, and learned several interesting
  lessons through the process. Although DNSs request-response
  operations seem closely resembling NDNs Interest-Data packet
  exchanges, they operate at different layers in the protocol stack.
  Comparing DNS's implementations over IP protocol stack with NDNSs
  implementation over NDN reveals several fundamental differences
  between applications designs for host-centric IP architecture and
  data-centric NDN architecture.

  design decisions and trade-offs. We also discuss the valuable
  lessons that we have learned throughout the ndnSIM development
  process.
