Submission Deadline March 7, 2014


In recent years SDN (Software Defined Networking) has emerged as an exciting area of research which is challenging the current networking paradigm of designing and managing computer networks. SDN has the potential to revolutionize not only the way networks are built but can lead to emergence of new applications that were not hitherto possible. This workshop is aimed at providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their learnings and latest research results in this emerging area and its novel applications. We solicit papers with focus on theory and empirical data that would demonstrate significant advancement in the state of the art and stimulate research in broad areas of SDN and its applications. Authors can consider submitting papers in following areas but are not limited to:
•SDN Controller Architecture
•Network Virtualization and Abstraction for SDN
•SDN Applications for wireless, mobile and multimedia network
•SDN Applications in Data Centers, Enterprise and Service Provider Networks
•Advancement in South-bound APIs for network programming
•Advancement in North-bound APIs for application programming.
•Co-existence of SDN and traditional networks
•Security in SDN networks
•Performance Analysis of single and multi-controller architectures
•Theoretical foundation of separation of control and data plane architecture
•Tools for Management and Troubleshooting of SDN based networks
•Application-aware network design using SDN
•Virtualization of Wireless and Mobile network services to enable programmability
•Robust protocols for controller to network element and network element to controller communication in wireless/mobile environment



PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION



Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor

being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the IEEE template format. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At least one author of each accepted paper is required and present his/her work at the workshop. We will be using EDAS for submitting and reviewing papers for this workshop.
