Proceedings of the 6th International COnference

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to ACM CoNEXT 2010, the 6th International COnference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies. The conference is hosted by Drexel University and is held in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. We hope that the vibe of the city in combination with an outstanding technical and social program will lead to stimulating discussions and exchange of ideas among the attending members of our world-spanning community. This year's edition continues the tradition of CoNEXT to foster the scientific and technological intersection between different research communities in networking from both academia and industry. The main conference is preceded by two interesting workshops that reflect the communities' renewed interest in fundamentally rethinking network architecture (ReArch) and what networking elements should and can do (PRESTO). In addition to those, we also have a student workshop to give the next generation of networking researchers a platform to discuss their work in an open and informal setting. The main conference is again organized along a single track of thematically grouped sessions to foster the interaction and discussions among all participants and across different points of views. CoNEXT strives to be an affordable conference and we managed to keep registration fees at the same level for the third consecutive year, despite a tough climate for attracting supporters. We are especially grateful to CISCO, for its outstanding commitment to research and education by becoming a Gold Supporter of ACM CoNEXT 2010; many thanks to our Bronze Supporter AT&T, and also to our Patrons: INTEL, NICTA and Drexel University. We thank the National Science Foundation and SIGCOMM for providing generous support for student travel grants.
