NCNC'2021: The 1st National Conference on recent advances in Networking and Computing

Submission deadline extended "May 06th 2021 firm"

Various networking and computing technologies emerged with the emergence of internet high speed, super-computers and the voluminous exchanged amount of data. Yet, several problems also appeared with these technologies giving birth to a plethora of research domains including Bigdata analytics Internet of Things, Blockchain Technology, Cloud and Edge computing, and Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), defined as “a system’s ability to interpret external data correctly, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation”, is currently one of the most important topics in the minds of academics and managers alike. After several AI summers and winters, i.e. periods of high and low funding and interest in AI research, it appears that AI’s fall season has arrived. This period of harvest and benefiting from past research has been made possible due to increased computational power, advances in statistical methods, as well as the sheer endless availability of (big) data.

A new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has delivered novel machine learning techniques that have been utilized in applications such as healthcare, industry, environment engineering, transportation, smart home and building automation, all of which heavily rely on technologies that can be deployed as a backbone for future networks. Therefore, intuitively, marrying machine learning techniques with mobile network, edge, and cloud computing has high potential to further boost the the proliferation of truly intelligent networks.

Besides, Internet of Things (IoT) applications rely on cooperation-aware communication where information is exchanged intelligently among communicating nodes. This phenomenon advocates for content-centric communication paradigm for Iot applications where information is of the essence rather than the source and/or location of information. As a result, owing to the Future Internet Architecture (FIA), recently Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and Named Data Networking (NDN) are considered to be the architectural backbones for SONs and its breeds. Furthermore, the integration of IoT with other networks, Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) are adopted as a new solution, supporting the inherited communication technologies and allowing new network architecture, called Software-Defined Internet of Things (SDIoT).

This conference is soliciting original technical papers addressing the recent advances and the recent paradigms related to networking and computing.

Important:

• There will be no registration fees for all participants. In addition, PhD students participation through posters and work-in-progress is (Work with only some primary results or no results yet) highly encouraged.

• Accommodation for conference participants will also be covered by the conference.
