The immersive experience in Meta= verse is revolutionizing various industries, paving the way for the realiza= tion of virtual remote environments, in turn enabling real-time interaction= s amongst geographically distributed users around the globe. The realizatio= n of the Metaverse is facilitated by the convergence of various technologie= s, including image processing and computer vision to create the virtual env= ironment inside the Metaverse. The network protocols, and edge computing te= chniques, on the other hand, enable a real-time immersive experience using = dedicated network paths and proximate computations from outside; thus, cert= ainly signifying the Metaverse reliance on pervasive network access and eff= icient computing technique. However, traditional networking solutions, and = edge computing techniques=E2=80=94in the context of enabling dedicated netw= ork paths for seamless multimedia communication, computations offloading an= d execution=E2=80=94are incapable of delivering the real-time experience ow= ing to considerable latency incurred by the in-efficient network protocol d= esign, and limited edge computing capabilities. The =E2=80=9CMetaverse-based Networking and Computing=E2=80=9D (MetaNC) wor= kshop aims at presenting the latest advances in networking for instance the= emergence of New-IP/future vertical communication networks (FVCN) in conju= nction with information-centric networking (ICN), and edge and fog computin= g integration to enable distributed proximate computations offloading which= have the potential to resolve the Metaverse challenges presented above. Topics of Interest We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review = by any other journal/ magazine/conference. Topics of interest include but a= re not limited to: -Collaborative content-sharing network protocols for Metaverse -Metaverse-based customized network protocol design -Proximate computation offloading techniques for Metaverse -Latency reduction techniques for Metaverse applications -Integration of edge and fog computing for Metaverse -Information-centric Metaverse -New IP / future vertical communication networks for Metaverse -Protocol design for distributed edge and fog computing for Metaverse -Microservices architectural requirements & design implementation for Metav= erse -Resource orchestration in Metaverse -Distributed resource allocation in Metaverse -Intelligent networking for Metaverse -Distributed microservices deployment models for the heterogeneous compute = nodes in Metaverse -Secure and reliable communications for Metaverse Keynote Speaker --Speaker: Professor Haris Ga=C4=8Danin (IEEE F=E2=80=9920) , RWTH Aachen U= niversity --Title: Metaverse-ready
