On the other hand, Information-Centric Networking (ICN), software-defined network (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), network slicing, and data center network have emerged as the novel networking paradigms for fast and efficient delivering and retrieving data. Against this backdrop, there is a strong trend to move the computations from the cloud to not only the edges but also the resource-sufficient networking nodes, which triggers the convergence between the emerging networking concepts and the new computation technologies. The ultimate goals for networking researches include intelligence, trust, and efficiency, which can be enhanced by or benefit for the intelligent computations. There are many open challenges for the emerging network concepts to meet the intelligent computations: what computations should be embedded; which node should be enforced with the computation; how can the computations, such as big data analytics, security, AI, machine learning, blockchain, be seamlessly embedded into the network and enable it to be efficient, trustworthy and accountable; how to fast locate the required and suitable computation nodes; how to efficiently transfer data through series of computation nodes; how to efficiently collect and process the big networking data; how to design networking architectures and protocols to easily support the efficient and diverse computations; how to achieve ultra-low latency communications with distributed computations; and how to migrate from the Internet to the computation-enabled network. The NMIC workshop 2020 solicits the papers that address the technical challenges and applications of the distributed computations for networking, the intelligent computations supported by the novel networking technologies, and the enforcement of series of computations. We envision that the combination of computations with networking will provide more effective computation support for applications and enable the network to be more intelligent, trustworthy, and efficient. The areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following: - Networking architecture and protocols for integrating caching, computation, and communications - Machine learning, data mining and big data analytics in networking - In-network computation for future networks, inter-data center networking and 5G - Information-centric networking with/for computations - Intelligent Internet edge integrating edge, fog, and mobile edge computing with networking - Intelligent service function/computation chaining - Security, privacy, trust, accountability for/with intelligent computation networking - Collection and processing for big network data - Distributed computations for network anomaly detection and security - Integrating Blockchain with networking - Network function virtualization, software-defined network, and network slicing for distributed computations - Networking computations for big data, streaming, IoT, and AR/VR - In-network data computations for network measurement and management - Distributed artificial intelligence with/for networking - Data modelling and applications of networking - Big data networking in healthcare, V2V, smart cities, industry and other applications *Important Dates*: Submission deadline: *February 15, 2020* Acceptance notification: April 1, 2020 Camera ready: April 15, 2020 Workshop: July 8-10, 2020 *Committees* *TPC Chairs* Ruidong Li, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan Michele Nogueira, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil Lei Jiao, University of Oregon, USA Ryoichi Shinkuma, Kyoto University, Japan *Web Chair* Kaigui Bian, Peking University, China *Publicity Chairs* Moayad Aloqaily, Gnowit Inc.
