NDN's forwarding-on-a-name approach works best for static content. For data on demand, name space stitching situations (IoT gateways) or cases where names include ephemeral elements like "call-back names", the question arises whether the network should not understand more of the intended usage of the involved name(s) than just forwarding. As an extreme case we have named functions where an interest's name is an arbitrary expression containing several names and where the network is supposed to rewrite the expression depending on its routing knowledge. A pragmatic extension is NDNS with its second (conditional forwarding hint) name.
Goals: After a brief introduction to the topic,
1. the session's participant will review the properties of NDN's current network-level usage of names, 2. assess the relevance of new name-related in-network operations, 3. if time permits, discuss in-network extensions where names are rewritten, or mapped, and can be bound to dynamic content.
Breakout Room: Melnitz 1410
Brief update on recent additions to the NDN libraries, their motivations and design tradeoffs. Open discussion of future features desired by the community, opportunities for participation in development, and feedback on the development environment(s). Technical questions about the libraries welcome.
Breakout Room: Melnitz 1451
Discussion around the content-based security model of NDN, including topics about: 1) the difference between content-based security model and channel-based security model; 2) challenges in enabling content-based security in NDN app; 3) progress of security support in NDN.
Breakout Room: Little Theater
Tactical communication network environments are typically characterized as being dynamic, infrastructureless, and resource-constrained. Robustness, security, and reliability are recognized as critical requirements for all tactical systems. The objective of this session is to investigate the use of NDN in such environment.
Goals:
1. Introduce characteristics of tactical communication network environments 2. Determine whether and to what extent ongoing research in Named Data Networking (NDN) is applicable to contested environments, and what adaptations must be made for contested environments.
Breakout Room: Macgowan 2330
Discussion of the Open mHealth and Enterprise Building Automation and Management network environments that are part of the NSF NDN-NP proposal, including 1) challenges from these domains 2) opportunities provided by NDN 3) progress on demonstration applications.
Breakout Room: Little T Courtyard
This interactive session will be a conversation among NDN developers and researchers about approaches for assessing progress towards the broad technical and social goals of NDN and ICN more generally. As a discussion prompt, we'll examine a developer survey currently under production, in addition discussing evaluation mechanisms appropriate for architecture.
Breakout Room: Melnitz 2568
Breakout Room: Melnitz 1410
Goals:
1. Establish a shared understanding of why NDN startups are inevitable 2. Brainstorm startup directions and opportunities 3. Discuss ways students in particular can get started

University of California at Los Angeles hosted the second NDN Community Meeting in the last week of September 2015. This two-day meeting provides an opportunity for the community to exchange research experience and results, to discuss the current state and future directions of the NDN architecture, and to identify remaining issues. We also plan to hold a 2-day hackathon on Saturday and Sunday September 26th-27th, the weekend before the meeting.
Based on community interest and submissions, we are receptive to a variety of forms of participation at this meeting, e.g, technical talks, panels, tutorials, demonstrations, hands-on learning. In order to maximize interaction and dig deeper into selected topics, we will have a series of focused discussion sessions that include a few short talks (10-15 minutes), but leaving lots of time for conversation and debate.
