3rd Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks Workshop (CCDWN 2018)
co-located with WiOpt 2018
Shanghai, China, May 7, 2018

*****New Submission Deadline: 18 February 2018*****

Future and emerging wireless networks will pose extreme communication
requirements such as very high throughput rates and very low latency,
particularly in QoE sensitive applications such as multimedia content delivery.
Currently, operators are striving to reduce the investment and maintenance costs
for cellular systems. In this context, caching has been proposed as a technique
that has the potential to reduce backhaul network traffic and improve content
latency for the wireless user. Especially in 5G, caching is poised as one of
the most promising new technologies. The "Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless
Networks" (CCDWN) workshop focuses on techniques that aim to achieve efficient
content delivery to the end user in order to meet the stringent quality requirements
of 5G wireless. The idea is to bring together experts in the field and discuss ways
in which content caching, sharing and prefetching can play a leading role in future
wireless networks.

Indicative research topics of high interest include but are not limited to:

- Caching architectures e.g. Femto-Caching
- Memory management, content prefetching and recommendation
- Content placement, replication and delivery
- Big Data Caching Analytics and Machine Learning
- Caching in the datacentre
- Coded Caching and related Information Theory aspects
- 5G and Caching (IoT, D2D, edge computing)
- Network economics caching issues
- Interplay of Caching with wireless communications (PHY and MAC)
- Green Caching
- Content Delivery Networks and ICN
- Stochastic cache models, scaling laws
- Distributed and adaptive algorithms in CDNs/ICNs

This workshop aims to bring together people from different communities, including networking,
communications, computer science, operation research, machine learning, and information theory
to shed light on the latest developments in the field.

To maximize interaction and visibility, CCDWN ‘18 will be co-located with WiOpt 2018 and will
take place on May 7 or 11, 2018, in Shanghai, China. The workshop is considered an integral part of the
WiOpt 2018 symposium. All CCDWN papers will be published in the same set of proceedings as the main
conference and will be made available on the IEEE Xplore. Publication at this workshop is not intended
to preclude later publication of an extended version of the paper. At least one author of each accepted
paper is expected to present his/her paper at the workshop.

**SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

A submission must be no greater than 6 pages in length including all figures, tables, references,
appendices, etc., and must be a PDF file of less than 10MB in size. The review process is single-blind.
Follow the same formatting guidelines as the WiOpt symposium. See the Information for Authors page
(http://www.wi-opt.org/informationforauthors.html). Submissions that deviate from these guidelines
will be rejected without consideration.
Use the paper submission site (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=24172&track=87792) to submit your paper
by 23:59 pm Central European Time (CET), February 18, 2018.
