However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, operational and management requirements, business models, security mechanisms and scalability enablers give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to the original design principles. While these mechanisms are necessary for Internet operation under current economical, technical and social conditions, their combination has significantly reduced the potential for incremental evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. This workshop will discuss what the real underlying problems are with the Internet and how we might fix them so that the Internet architecture re-gains its simplicity and transparency and is fit for another 30+ years, so that the architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet can be regained and retained for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze, and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'08 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, how the following impact on that architecture: New networking paradigms New business models New routing architectures New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms Measurements and analysis that characterize the real architectural limitations New architecture proposals and their implications for research New protocols that address the limitations Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture Principles of evolving future architectures Requirements for interworking with the existing Internet, and for deployability. Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked. Submissions must be original and not already published in any other conference proceedings or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most 6 pages long (including figures, tables, references, etc.) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will be done via EDAS.

The main conference will be preceded by a one-day workshop, and will be a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The conference is single-track and will feature a high-quality technical program with significant opportunities for individual and small-group technical and social interactions. ACM CoNEXT seeks to foster open discussions on technology alternatives and to be a forum accommodating multiple viewpoints, and is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. As its name suggests, ACM CoNEXT 2008 solicits papers on emerging networking experiments, measurements, paradigms, with particular emphasis on creative, out-of-the-box thinking. Additionally, papers reporting on the deployment and performance of services or exploring network functionality aimed at better supporting new services are also welcome. We welcome submissions based on implementation and experimentation, as well as simulation and analytical approaches. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: o Internet measurement and modeling o Wireless and mobile networks o Ad hoc and sensors networks o Economic aspects of the Internet o Network security issues o Multimedia networking o Peer-to-peer and overlay networks o Routing and traffic engineering o Delay and disruption tolerant networks o New networking protocols and architectures o Autonomic and dependable communications o Networked systems applications and services SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Conformance to the 12 pages, 10pts ACM SIGCOMM format will be strictly enforced. Electronic proceedings will be published by ACM, and the best papers forwarded to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible fast-track publication. Travel grants will be available to support student attendance at the conference.
