The International Symposium on Advances in Software Defined Networks SOFTNETWORKING 2015 April 19 - 24, 2015 - Barcelona, Spain |
This symposium is part of ICN 2015.

| Call for Papers: |
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a recent architectural approach that decouples the network control and data planes. It separates the network control logic from the underlying routers and switches by logically centralizing the network control in SDN controllers and implementing the traffic forwarding in switching hardware. SDN offers network programmability capabilities, applicable in a flexible way. SDN introduces novel abstractions in networking, thus simplifying network management and facilitating faster network evolution. SDN is natively based on virtualization. Via service orchestration, applications can automatically reconfigure the network and simultaneously optimize the user experience, application performance and network resource utilization. SDN approach can support or is applicable in various contexts: clouds/data centres; enterprise; WANs, cellular/mobile, wireless, home, sensors – networks; network and resources management, security; traffic and QoS management, media and content distribution. While still in early stage, SDN is moving very fast towards its adoption in the industry and by the operators, but it still has open research issues.
SOFTNETWORKING 2015, the Symposium on Advances in Software Defined Networks, is dedicated to advances and challenges on the following SDN-related topics.
Topics:
- SDN concepts and architectures
- Control and Management in SDN
- SDN Controllers design and implementation
- SDN Forwarders
- Network Operating Systems (NOS) and virtualization in SDNs
- SDN and Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
- OpenFlow and Southbound Protocols
- Application programming interfaces for SDNs
- Network programmability in SDN
- Programming languages
- Verification techniques and tools for SDNs
- Performance of controllers and forwarders
- SDN in data-center/clouds/big data
- SDN applications in:
- enterprise, WANs, cellular/mobile, wireless, home, sensors networks
- network and resources management, security
- traffic and QoS management, media and content distribution
- Security, privacy and reliability in SDN
- SDN scalability in large environments
- SDN and Information Centric Networking (ICN)
- SDN versus Content/ICN architectures
- Operators and Service Providers perspective on SDN
- Deployment of SDN technology and applications in operational networks

Details on contributions and proposals.
FORMATS
Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received submissions will be acknowledged via an automated system.
Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11", not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page. Helpful information for paper formatting can be found on the here. Latex templates are also available.
Slides-based contributions can use the corporate/university format and style.
Your paper should also comply with the additional editorial rules.
Once you receive the notification of contribution acceptance, you will be provided by the publisher an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.
We would recommend that you should not use too many extra pages, even if you can afford the extra fees. No more than 2 contributions per event are recommended, as each contribution must be separately registered and paid for. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to ensure that the paper will be included in the conference proceedings and in the digital library, or posted on the www.iaria.org (for slide-based contributions).
