The 2nd Workshop on Name Oriented Mobility (NOM)

The second edition of the NOM workshop will be held on April 28th 2014 in conjunction with the IEEE INFOCOM 2014 conference after the great success of its first edition that was held with the ACM MobiHoc 2013 conference. The NOM workshop is particularly interested in Information Centric Network (ICN) advances in support of the mobile and wireless space. Name-oriented network architectures appear very promising for wireless and mobile networks, such as for instance IoT among wireless and mobile devices that could not scale well up till now, home networks among wireless and mobile hand held devices that constitute the majority of end-users devices, wireless sensor networks for smart spaces and vehicular networks which account a large, and exponentially increasing number of devices and connections that clearly suffer from the lack of mobility management in the IP architecture and the lack of an efficient data storage and sharing mean. Moreover, within the context of multimedia and video services and the huge demand for highly scalable and efficient distribution of content, ICN is promising in offering an alternative or complementing to the proprietary or specialized content distribution mechanisms, such as CDN and P2P systems, and aims for improved content access through general Internet mechanisms for content replication and dissemination among not only core network devices but also wireless edge network devices and wireless and mobile end-users devices.
