PAPER SUBMISSION
Submission link: https://edas.info/N27580
All papers will be published in IEEE ICC workshops proceedings.
“All submissions must be written in English in the standard IEEE two-column conference format and are limited to a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures and references. EDAS is configured to not permit the uploading of review manuscripts that exceed 6 pages. Once accepted, the final manuscript may have a 7th page, but such papers will incur an overlength page charge of US$100.”
Papers exceeding (6) pages will not be accepted at EDAS. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX formats are found at here:http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
You may also use one of the following templates for Microsoft Word: A4, US letter. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all submissions must be done through EDAS. If you have any questions regarding the submission of manuscripts, please contact CCNCPS chairs at the email below. All accepted papers must be registered and presented in the conference. One full registration is valid for 2 papers of the same author.

Title: FlexNGIA - Towards a Future Internet for Cyber-Physical Systems
Abstract.
Virtual reality and teleportation, to telepresence, augmented reality, and remotely‑controlled robotics are future applications that are bound to achieve unprecedented development for society, economics and culture and to revolutionize the way we live, learn, work and play. Unfortunately, today’s Internet is simply not able to provide the stringent performance requirements needed by such applications to run smoothly and to offer a perfect quality of experience. This is due to several fundamental limitations in the design of the current network architecture and communication protocols. As a result, it is now the time to put into question the tenets of today’s Internet and think novel architecture and protocols that take into account recent technological advances in cloud computing, virtualization and network softwarization to design the future Tactile Internet. In this talk, we start by analyzing the characteristics and requirements of future cyber-physical systems and highlight the limitations of the today’s Internet architecture and protocols. We then provide an overview of FlexNGIA (www.FlexNGIA.net), a Flexible Next-Generation Internet Architecture that leverages cloud computing infrastructures, services and technologies as the keystone of the future Internet providing high performance and fully flexibility for future Internet applications and services to ensure the highly-integrated computation, communication, control, and physical elements requested by cyber-physical systems. We also discuss through some use-cases how FlexNGIA could ensure the performance guarantees required by some of the future cyber-physical systems and applications.
