W10: New Network Architecture Powering Internet-of-Things
Organizer: Xuemin (Sherman) Shen, University of Waterloo
Organizer: Shen Yan, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd
Organizer: Quan Yu, Pengcheng Lab
Abstract: The current Internet architecture, developed in the 1970s, has been successful in supporting a wide range of human-to-human multimedia applications. However, for real-time cyber-physical control and collaboration, the TCP/IP-based Internet architecture becomes a major bottleneck, due to the lack of network management and control flexibility and quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee. New network architecture is needed to enable many new Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications with stringent reliability, scalability, availability, latency, privacy, and/or security requirements. Researchers from both the industry and academia begin to investigate future IoT network requirements, use cases, and enabling technologies. The ITU-T Focus Group for Network 2030 was launched to explore new network architecture solutions that will potentially lead to new platforms and standards. The purpose of this workshop is to invite submissions on the latest advancement and developments in new network architecture for forward-looking scenarios including, but not limited to, Internet-of-Things (IoT), SND/NFV, terrestrial-satellite network, cyber-physical communicating, and user defined networking, etc. This workshop also provides a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on network architecture and IoT areas.
