Keynote speech 3: An Information Centric Networking Approach to Publish-Subscribe in mobile IoT systems

Information Centric Networking emerged more than one decade ago as an alternative approach to the Future Internet, based on name driven networking primitives. Since most of IoT services are information centric by design, the scientific community is actively investigating novel ICN-IoT architectures to circumvent the limitations of host-centric approaches. In this context, it is imperative to evaluate how different ICN architectures cope with Publish-Subscribe approaches with different degree of mobility. Starting from this premise, the keynote will: (i) briefly summarize the key features of the ICN rationale; (ii) introduce the approaches proposed so far to support publish-subscribe in ICN-IoT architectures; (iii) highlight the technical issues that can arise in presence of mobility; (iv) illustrate possible solutions to those issues; and (v) draw future research directions.
