NDN is an architectural realization of the broad Information Centric Networking (ICN) vision that enables communications by named, secured data at the network layer. By aligning the network service with application needs, NDN offers many advantages, including stronger security and trustworthiness, enhanced network usability, as well as scalability and resiliency in network communication. In particular, NDN is especially suitable for emerging network environments such as edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT). </span></div><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">NDNcomm 2019 Co-Chairs </span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">Alex Afanasyev (FIU), Lotfi Benmohamed (NIST) , Tamer Refaei (MITRE)</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">// co-located event</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">CALL FOR PARTICIPATION</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">9th NDN Hackathon</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 16px;" class="">National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, MD, USA</span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 16px;" class="">September 6-8, 2019</span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><a href="http://9th-ndn-hackathon.named-data.net/" class="">http://9th-ndn-hackathon.named-data.net/</a></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><b class="">Project proposals due: September 1, 2019</b> </div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;" class="">Welcome Remote Participation!</span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;" class=""><br class=""></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;" class="">We solicit Hackathon project proposals that advance the state of NDN.
