<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">NDNComm is an annual event that brings together a large community of researchers from academia, industry, and government, as well as users and other parties interested in the development of the Named Data Networking
(NDN) technology. 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 applications environments that include mobile edge
computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Low Latency Applications such as interactive AR/VR.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">NDNcomm provides a community forum to discuss the state of NDN protocols, software, testbed, and its application to various network environments. While the topics cover all aspects of NDN, we are particularly interested
in work that applies NDN to the problems it can potentially solve better than alternative technologies. We invite submissions from the broader NDN community for presentations, posters/demos (short presentations), and panels on topics including but not limited
