technologies, such as big data analytics, modern machine learning
technology, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and security processing,
have the great potential to be embedded into network to enable it to be intelligent
and trustworthy. 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 efficiently 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.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Century,serif"></span></font></p>

challenges for the emerging network concepts to meet the intelligent

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
