PLENARY: Research Trend of Information-Centric Networking

                                                

Prof. Yong-Jin Park, Ph. D.

Waseda University

 

ABSTRACT

 

Information Centric Networking (ICN) has been attracting attention as a promising Future Internet architecture. The recent network usage has changed from host-centric to information-centric. ICN accesses information by using its object name, instead of a location address like the current IP network. This talk includes the background and technological features of ICN as well as the latest research development of ICN.  In addition, ICN related activities at Waseda University are introduced. Finally, challenging research areas in ICN are mentioned.
