Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Workshop on Cloud-Assisted Networking

Abstract

We take great pleasure in welcoming you to ACM CoNEXT Cloud-Assisted Networking (CAN) 2016 Workshop in Irvine, CA. CAN is the first workshop that aims to bring together researchers focusing on proactively integrating cloud resources and network components to solve complex networking problems across the control and data planes. We are very pleased to welcome our keynote speaker Anees Shaikh, Network Architect at Google. Anees will present a keynote titled "Managing large-scale networks from the cloud". CAN'16 has a very strong technical program, with 12 peer-reviewed papers from 8 different countries, and topics across the spectrum of wireless, data center, and provider networks. We thank the technical program committee for their diligent work in reviewing the papers and putting together the excellent program. We are also excited to include a panel discussion (joint with the other CoNEXT'16 workshops) on bselecting the appropriate cloud and network testbeds by prominent researchers and visionaries. We express our appreciation to the panelists, who have agreed to share their insights with us.
