Named Data Networking (NDN) Project Newsletter for September 2016

The NDN project team compiles and publishes this newsletter periodically
to inform the community about recent activities, technical news,
meetings, publications, presentations, code releases, and upcoming
events. You can find these newsletters posted on the Named Data
Networking Project blog.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

* Call for proposals: The 3rd Named Data Networking (NDN) Hackathon
  November 4-5th, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO
  Submission deadline: October 26, 2016
  Acceptance notification: October 31, 2016
  http://3rd-ndn-hackathon.named-data.net

* As part of ICN 2016, the NDN Team presented a full-day
  tutorial on "Exploring NDN Research through Real World Problem
  Solving" at the 3rd ACM Conference on Information Centric Networking (ICN 2016).

  World Applications (ICNSRA 2016) in Washington D.C., the NDN team
  will present two publications (listed below) as well as participate
  on a panel discussing "Application of ICN in Infrastructure-Free
  Environments: Rural Areas, Disaster Recovery, and Military Tactical
  Environments.  http://icnsra.nz.comm.waseda.ac.jp/?page_id=61

* Save the date: We have revised our plans to host the next NDNcomm
  at the University of Memphis March 23-24, 2017 immediately preceding
  IETF 97 in Chicago. We will hold the 4th NDN Hackathon immediately
  preceding NDNcomm on 22 March, 2017. Lan Wang and Christos Papadopolous
  will serve as co-chairs.

RELATED NEWS

* NSF CI-NEW: Collaborative: Building the Core NDN Infrastructure
  to Advance Information-Centric Networking Research, $2.5M,
  9/1/2016-8/31/2019.  University of Arizona (Beichuan Zhang, lead),
  UCLA (Jeff Burke, Lixia Zhang), University of Memphis (Lan Wang),
  Washington University at St. Louis (Patrick Crowley).

  The goal of this project is to support the evaluation, experimentation,
  and further development of the Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture
  through building the core NDN infrastructure as a community resource,
  serving to advance research in the Information-Centric Networking
  (ICN) paradigm.
