Welcome to the 2011 ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Information-Centric Networking (ICN 2011). The development of ICN concepts is one of the significant results of different international Future Internet research activities. In such approaches, the principal paradigm is not host-to-host communication as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, an increasing demand for highly scalable and efficient distribution of content has motivated the development of architectures that focus on information objects, their properties, and receiver interest in the network to achieve efficient and reliable distribution of such objects.
We have organized this workshop to bring researchers from different projects and initiatives together and to advance the state of research of this still relatively young networking research direction. The call for papers attracted 50 submissions from Asia, Europe and the United States, covering different topics from ICN architectures to specific topics such as naming, security, transport protocols and socio-economic factors. The number and the general quality of the received submissions are a promising indication for the commitment and the level of activity that the networking research community is currently investing into ICN.
With the help of an excellent technical program committee of international researchers, we were able to select 12 high-quality papers for the final workshop program that, as we believe, address important current research topics in the fields and are suitable to create interesting and fruitful discussions. In addition we are able to gather renowned experts representing different current ICN research approaches for a panel discussion at the workshop that is expected to further stimulate discussions on ICN research directions and specific design alternatives. We hope that the workshop proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for researchers and developers in the field and that the discussions at the workshop will be fruitful for establishing ICN as a major networking research topic.

Naming in content-oriented architectures
There have been several recent proposals for content-oriented network architectures whose underlying mechanisms are surprisingly similar in spirit, but which differ in many details. In this paper we step back from the mechanistic details and focus only ...
MDHT: a hierarchical name resolution service for information-centric networks
Information-centric network architectures are an increasingly important approach for future Internet architectures. Several approaches are based on a non-hierarchical identifier (ID) namespace that requires some kind of global Name Resolution Service (...
Supporting diverse traffic types in information centric networks
In this paper we focus on the issue of transferring diverse kinds of information through information-centric networks (ICNs). We argue that the one request per packet mode of operation suggested in the early development of ICN applications is not a good ...
On preserving privacy in content-oriented networks
The recent literature has hailed the benefits of content-oriented network architectures. However, such designs pose a threat to privacy by revealing a user's content requests. In this paper, we study how to ameliorate privacy in such designs. We present ...
Information-centric networking: state of advance
Currently, there are a number of research efforts world-wide considering the Future Internet, many of them following a clean-slate approach and investigating novel internet architectures and technologies. An increasing demand for highly scalable, timely ...
Bandwidth and storage sharing performance in information centric networking
Internet usage has dramatically evolved towards content dissemination and retrieval, whilst the underlying infrastructure remains tied up to hosts interconnection. Information centric networking (ICN) proposals have recently emerged to rethink Internet ...
Congestion avoidance in a data-centric opportunistic network
In order to achieve data delivery in an opportunistic network, data is replicated when it is transmitted to nodes within communication reach and that are likely to be able to forward it closer to the destination. This replication and the unpredictable ...
Routing policies in named data networking
Modern inter-domain routing with BGP is based on policies rather than finding shortest paths. Network operators devise and implement policies affecting route selection and export independently of others. These policies are realized by tuning a variety ...
A reality check for content centric networking
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a novel networking paradigm centered around content distribution rather than host-to-host connectivity. This change from host-centric to content-centric has several attractive advantages, such as network load ...
CONET: a content centric inter-networking architecture
CONET is a content-centric inter-network that provides users with a network access to remote named-resources, rather than to remote hosts. Named-resources can be either data (named-data) or service-access-points (named-sap), identified by a network-...
Content-based publish/subscribe networking and information-centric networking
On-line information comes in different forms and is accessed in different ways and for different purposes. For example, a recording of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony differs from a storm warning from the local weather service. Beethoven's Ninth is a large ...
SoCCeR: services over content-centric routing
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and Service-Centric Networking(SCN) are two novel paradigms that seek to change the way content and services are perceived. CCN is centered around content distribution, while SCN focuses on dynamic customization of in-...
ACT: audio conference tool over named data networking
In this paper we present the design of an audio conference tool, which is one of our efforts to explore application de- signs on top of Named Data Networking. Instead of rely- ing on centralized services as current implementations do, ACT takes a named ...
