Re: Welcome & Introductions

Hi,

   I'm professor in autonomous systems at Halmstad University in Sweden and I've been working with ICN from 2016 in different contexts, many of them related to mobile networks and IoT.

   The work I develop involving ICN also includes combined approaches using IP-based technologies (DTN and SDN) in order to address the needs of different applications, as well as to interface ICN with exiting IP-based networks.

    You can check my publications at scholar google: https://scholar.google..com.br/citations?user=d6vo3uwAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao

     I believe we should establish the main and specific goals of the group.. What do we want to achieve? How this would be done? How would the work in the group be organized to achieve these goals? How to motivate more relevant people in the area participate in the group? Even you said that the group will not publish specifications, maybe at least some kind of documentation, such as white papers or principals for standards should be aimed, otherwise, we will have no relevance in the area. I mean, we should consider issuing some kind of documentation. A standard, an RFC, or a specification would be the best, but if not, we have to think about something else that somehow could create an impact in the area and justifies the existence of the group.

     I'm open to discuss ICN-related topics and possible developments/outcomes we can do together, just contact me.

Best rregards,
Edison.

Med vänliga hälsningar/Best regards,

Hi Kyra and the W3 ICN,

Based in Denmark, I is working on an open Information-Centric Networking
based protocol called Z-Mesh, used for Internet of Things. It is a open
connectivity-platform, used to connect any app to any sensor. I would
like to contribute to the internet being an open,
de-centralized/distributed place which can serve as an open platform for
vendors and consumers and communities.

Z-Mesh features include:

* Hybrid Naming Scheme: Network-ID + Content-Name
* Configurable Content Name structure (for wildcard support)
* Publish/Subscribe
* Each network has own Message Authentication Code (only known devices
can participate)
* Frame Sequence Number (Incremented every time Content Name is updated)
* Device Management built-in
* Thin application layer for most common data-types
* Encryption- and MAC- algorithm agnostic
* Support for Firmware update over-the-air
* Cyber-Resilience-Act compliance

We have implemented Z-Mesh in products like accelerometers, temp/humid-
and motion sensors and Forwarders are used as Content Stores.

Learn more about our Z-Mesh here: https://z-mesh.org

Feel free to contact me for a quick online talk on anything ICN-related.
