*** Papers Due: 5th December 2009 ***

We are in the midst of an Internet computing revolution. One vision of 21st century computing is that users will access
Internet services and “resource-hungry" applications (e.g., gaming, streaming media etc.) over lightweight portable devices
rather than through some descendant of the traditional desktop PCs. In this context, distributing and processing
Internet-based data in an efficient and cost-effective manner is a challenging issue in Internet technology.
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have emerged to address this challenge by offering infrastructure and mechanisms
to deliver content and services in a scalable manner. Nevertheless, modern applications do not just perform retrieval
or access operation on content, but also create, modify and manage content, and actively place them at appropriate locations.
To deal with such new requirements, more general Content Networks (CNs) are being introduced. Design and implementation of
robust and efficient CNs in large-scale computing environments demand for the use of emerging paradigms and software
technologies, such as Peer-to-Peer, Grid and the latest IT trend¯Cloud computing. The integration of these emerging
technologies in content delivery opens new perspectives in Internet technologies, raising new issues in the architecture,
design and implementation of existing CDNs.




Areas of interest
CDN 2010 is intended as a forum for lively discussion of aggressively innovative and potentially disruptive ideas
in all aspects of CDNs. The main theme of this full day workshop is "Content Delivery in the Cloud".
CDN 2010 will capture new research trends and results in terms of design, architecture,
and applications for content and service delivery in the Internet and Clouds;
optimization for Cloud-based content delivery; and performance measurement methodologies.
Position papers will be strongly favored.
Specifically, the areas of interest are the following (but are not limited):

* Cloud/Grid/P2P/Agent-based Content delivery and management on the Internet
* Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications
* Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), business models and service pricing
* Content distribution internetworking scenarios, architectures and methodologies
* Cross-platform interoperability
* Performance of application and service delivery in the Cloud
* Scalable, self-managing and autonomic Content Delivery Clouds
* Privacy, security, ownership and reliability issues
