Proceedings of the 2nd ACM Conference on Information Centric Networking
Year: 2015

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to ICN 2015, the 2nd ACM Conference on Information Centric Networking, held from September 30 to October 2, 2015, in San Francisco, CA, USA! We have worked to put together a strong technical program that would be of interest to researchers, industrial practitioners, and students in the field of Information Centric Networking. The program includes technical research paper presentations, a keynote presentation, as well as two tutorials, technical demonstrations, poster presentations, and a panel discussion. This year, the technical program of ICN attracted 55 submissions. The Program Committee proceeded with a two phase selection process. In the first phase, three members of the program committee reviewed each one of the 55 submissions. We then selected those papers with at least one positive review or with no decidedly negative reviews for a second phase. The 45 papers that went to the second phase then received one or two additional reviews, and based on all the reviews we then selected 38 papers to discuss in the Program Committee meeting, which was held in Prague, Czech Republic in July. At the end of an all day meeting, the Technical Program Committee selected 19 for publication and presentation at the conference. A subsequent decision resulted in a final program comprising 18 papers. The Technical Program Committee comprised 36 members, including the two TPC Co Chairs. The TPC members were chosen for their expertise in the field and for their excellent track record on making balanced evaluations and providing thorough feedback to the authors. Just as with the submitted papers, the TPC members also were from all over the world, reflecting the significant wide spread interest in ICN. We sincerely thank the TPC members for their dedication and hard work in reading and providing detailed feedback on the papers, and we hope the authors of all the papers would appreciate the feedback provided in the reviews to help improve their work. The resulting technical program is arranged over six sessions of paper presentations over the two days of the main conference. It is intended to give authors and attendees a chance to present and discuss new ideas and theoretical as well as experimental results in the general area of Information Centric Networking. The program covers a wide range of research topics, from network architectures, to routing, name resolution, router design and implementation, transport protocols, caching, security, and applications. The technical program is the backbone of the ICN conference. The resulting technical program is arranged over six sessions of paper presentations over the two days of the main conference.

The technical program is the backbone of the ICN conference. The keynote speaker is Van Jacobson, who has made long term and foundational contributions to the Internet, and who is also a very influential proponent and architect of the notion of Information Centric Networking. In addition to the main technical program, the conference includes two tutorial presentations covering important technical features of the CCN and NDN systems, respectively; an open discussion lead by a panel of experts and practitioners on the future prospects for ICN in research, applications, deployments, and also in its economic aspects; a session dedicated to posters and demos intended as a venue to present and discuss compelling initial ideas and other advances in researchand engineering for ICN, including the demonstration of concrete systems, tools, and applications. In conclusion, we worked to assemble a compelling technical program to advance and consolidate knowledge and technology in the area of Information Centric Networking. We also wanted to create a venue to support, foster, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and to grow and strengthen the ICN research community. We hope we succeeded and we hope you enjoy the conference!
