Implementation of a front-end and back-end NDN system for climate modeling application

Named Data Networking (NDN), one of the future Internet architecture, is recently emerging as a solution to changing traffic pattern of traditional end-to-end host-centric network systems. To achieve this, NDN has several distinctive features such as name based forwarding and in-network caching. Data-intensive science that handles large-scale experiment and simulation datasets suffers from severe problems in terms of transmitting and processing of a huge amount of datasets. In this paper, to support NDN based data-intensive science application, especially in climate modeling application, we design and implement new NDN components. Our development supports data-centric climate data file searching and publishing, which are a front-end engine in consumer and a back-end engine in producer.
