The increasing complexity and fundamental problems in today's Internet architectural design and its deployment have led to significant research efforts in the area of Future Internet (FI) in Europe and Clean Slate Design CSD) in the U.S. In this context, the OpenFlow initiative has recently caught the attention of researchers and even router vendors.

The objective of the OFELIA/CHANGE Summer School is to bring together PhD students and researchers who are currently working on future Internet topics such as:

• Principles of evolving future architectures
• New networking paradigms
• OpenFlow-related topics
• Programmable networks, NetFPGAs
• Network virtualization
• Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations
• Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability

The program will contain presentations by well-known international experts on various topics.

PhD students are encouraged to submit a two pages extended abstract describing their current research results. After having submitted their abstract, all PhD students will be asked to comment and discuss some of the other submitted abstracts. This will allow the PhD students to discuss about their ongoing research with other PhD students before to summer school to ease discussion and cooperation among PhD students. The number of places is limited and PhD students who have submitted abstracts will have priority over other registrations.
