Message from the Workshop Chairs

The new computation technologies, such as big data analytics, modern machine learning technology, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and security processing, have the great potential to be embedded into network to enable it to be intelligent and trustworthy. On the other hand, Information-Centric Networking (ICN), software-defined network (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), Vehicular Ad Hoc NETwork (VANET), network slicing, and data center network have emerged as the novel networking paradigms for fast and efficient delivering and retrieving data. Against this backdrop, there is a strong trend to move the computations from the cloud to not only the edges but also the resource-sufficient networking nodes, which triggers the convergence between the emerging networking concepts and the new computation technologies. The NMIC workshop 2019 brings together researchers to discuss the technical challenges and applications of the distributed computations for networking, the intelligent computations supported by the novel networking technologies, and the enforcement of series of computations. The accepted papers combine the computation technologies with ICN, SDN, DTN, VANET, and mobile network to enable them to be more intelligent, trustworthy, and efficient. We would like to especially thank the ICDCS 2019 organization team and all the TPC members of NMIC workshop 2019. Without their kind help, the NMIC workshop would not be possible.
