Management of Software Defined Networks (SDNs)
Call for Paper Submission
======================================================================================================
Software Defined Networking attempts to use software defined packages or
modules for implementing network features/functions and their control and
management. SDN decouples physical networking infrastructure/resources from the
services that utilize them so that a controlled level of flexibility in
resources assignment can be achieved seamlessly for the desired services. It
utilizes the concept of separating network control plane from the network
traffic forwarding plane. The control plane can be physically distributed but
it is logically centralized.
Universally acceptable open Application Programming Interface (API) is required
to expose the forwarding plane to the control plane. This API must be an open
programmable interface to virtualized forwarding resources from different
implementation and administration domains. Therefore, the required brokering
and orchestration would be essential to successful implementation and
deployment of SDN.
In this special issue of JNSM, we look forward to publishing original research
papers that are focused on network and system management aspects of SDN. The
areas of interest include the following:
* Use cases focusing on Efficient Delivery of Emerging Services
* SDN Interoperability Framework
* Distributed Multi-Domain Control of Information Forwarding
* Control and Orchestration API
* Programming (Languages) and Debugging of SDN Elements and System
* Privacy and Security of Services and Control
* Auditability/Verifiability of Resources Allocation and Consumption
* Implementation Reports and Field Trials
* Management of OpenFlow based networks
* Orchestration and programmability of virtual resources (networking,
computation and storage) and services
