Room: Athens/Barcelona

<<WARNING: this is a draft agenda only! Content and timing will change...>>


0- Welcome, administrative and general matters (Vincent Roca) (5')


PART I: Use-cases where end-to-end coding or network coding can be beneficial
=============================================================================

NC for satellite communications
-------------------------------

1- "Network coding and satellites" (Nicolas Kuhn) (15') (remote)
	draft-kuhn-nwcrg-network-coding-satellites-00
	This memo presents the current deployment of network coding in some
	satellite telecommunications systems along with a discussion on the
	multiple opportunities to introduce these technics at a wider scale.

	Discussions: what's next and where do we want to go?


NC for ICN/CCN
--------------

2- research paper(s) presentation (total 20')
	Discussions: what's next and where do we want to go?


Other potential use-cases
-------------------------

3- (Rolf Sperber) (10')
  (Details not yet available...)


4- Discussion: are these use-cases sufficient to extract a generic architecture
   and/or a generic protocol? (5')


PART II: On the coding side
===========================

Low complexity coding
---------------------

4- "Pyrit: Polynomial Ring Transforms for Fast Erasure Coding" (Jonathan Detchart) (15')
	Making coding and decoding operations of any erasure code working on a
	finite field an order of magnitude faster than reference C codecs.


On the benefit of sliding window codes (network coding?) to IETF protocols
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

5- "Less Latency and Better Protection with AL-FEC Sliding Window Codes: a Robust Multimedia
  CBR Broadcast Case Study" (Vincent Roca, Inria) (15')
	This work discusses the benefits of sliding window codes to 3GPP MBMS (based on
	FECFRAME) and real-time content broadcast.
	How to configure, performance metrics, results compared to ideal block codes and
	Raptor codes.

6- Relationship with other IETF activities: going beyond XOR codes (15')
  (Details not yet available...)


PART III: Other topics
======================

7- "About a simple protocol to negotiate network coded communication" (Frank Fitzek, TBC) (10')
	Discussions: what's next and where do we want to go?

8- "Generic Robust Low Latency Tunelling with common APIs (Marie-José Montpetit) (5') (remote)
	Discussions: what's next and where do we want to go?
