Software defined networking or SDN is defined as a control framework that
supports the programmability of network functions and protocols by
decoupling the data plane and the control plane, which are currently
integrated vertically in most network equipment. The SDN technology allows
network operators to manipulate logical map of the network and create
multiple co-existing network slices independent of the underlying transport
technology and network protocols. Furthermore, the separation of control
plane and data plane makes the SDN a suitable candidate for end-to-end
network service delivery. Enabling SDN at the optical layer can potentially
facilitate application specific network slicing at optical layer,
coordination of higher network layers and application withoptical layer. It
can also provide a unified control plane platform for integration of packet
and optical switched networks for access, metro and core network segments.

This full day workshop explores the state-of-the-art, the potentials and
the possible applications of software defined networks and OpenFlow
framework empowered by optics. The workshop brings together technical
contributions ranging from control plane technologies and networking
techniques to techno-economic evaluations and market implications. The
workshop includes a lively panel and audience debate to discuss and deepen
the opinions of researchers, carriers, operators, device, and equipment
vendors. Potential audiences include: university faculty, graduate
students-Engineers, managers of vendors and operators, policy makers and
market/technology analysts.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 SDN architecture
 OpenFlow and other enabling protocols
 SDN for Flexible grid optical networks
 Virtualized Networks and Clouds
 SDN-based mobile backhaul architecture
 SLA and QoS assurance in SDN
 SDN standardization
 SDN for carrier and data center networks
 SDN as a new platform for businesses
 SDN devices or sub-systems in optical networks
 Software-defined optical transmission technologies
 Software-defined multi-layer or multi-domain optical networks
 Software-defined converged fixed and mobile aggregation/metro networks
 Protection/restoration strategies in SDN
 Green technologies in SDN
 Emerging next-generation optical transport and enabling technology
 Optical bandwidth virtualization and multilayer integration
 Techno-economic analysis
 Market expectations including operators view
 Experiments and field trials

 Format: Full-day workshop. We solicit high-quality contributions from both
academia and industry that report on advances and open issues on
SDN/OpenFlow for optical networks. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed.
Invited presentations from industry experts may be included to ensure that
the scope of the program spans the whole range of topics involved. The
workshop will conclude with a panel to foster discussions.

Submission guidelines: Paper Submission guidelines are available at the
GC13 authors' guideline page:http://www.ieee-globecom.org/submguide.html Paper
submission through EDAS system:https://www.edas.info/ or directly at
