SCIENCE CHINA Information Sciences
Special Issue on
Future Internet Architecture and Protocol
CALL FOR PAPERS
As a critical infrastructure, the Internet plays an important role in economic
development, social progress and technological innovation in the modern society.
With its growing popularity and the continuous emergence of heterogeneous
environments, pervasive computing, ubiquitous networking, mobile access, mass
media, etc., there is an increasing demand for improving the scale, function,
performance and other aspects of the Internet. Security, scalability, and performance
guarantees are the primary issues. The Internet needs to be able to scale to billions of
nodes and to support the diversified requirements of next-generation applications.
These changes have made the Internet increasingly brittle and non-deterministic. Thus,
the basic underlying principles that have been instrumental in the Internet’s success
need to be revisited and possibly redefined in light of future requirements. The
network research community has taken up the task of redesigning the architecture for
the future Internet. Initially started as part of the FIND and GENI programs by the
NSF in the United States, future Internet research is now a key agenda for all leading
research agencies around the world including China, European Union and Japan.
The goal of this special issue is to present important and representative research
perspectives on future Internet research in China and abroad. It will cover a broad
spectrum of topics in future Internet architecture. It aims at providing an opportunity
for researchers and practitioners working in the field of Internet to disseminate their
new ideas and research results. Original high-quality research papers on topics of
interest, including but not limited to the following, as well as survey papers, are
solicited:

Future Internet architecture

Large-scale addressing and routing

Router and switch design
