2nd European Workshop on Software Defined Networks (EWSDN-2013)
http://ewsdn.eu
The second edition of the European Workshop on Software Defined Networks
will be held on October 10-11, 2013 in Berlin, Germany
*SDN evolution and current trends*
Software Defined Networking is undoubtedly one of the chief trends in
the ICT area. In the past year we have seen all big players in the
networking arena starting to ride the SDN wave one way or another. The
standardization work is actively ongoing in ONF with its 7 working
groups, in the IETF where several working groups are somehow related to
SDN (e.g. FORCES, NETMOD, NETCONF, ALTO, NVO3 and the recently formed
I2RS), while the recent initiative of ETSI on Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) is also tightly related to SDN. On top of the
several existing Open Source SDN controllers, tools and development
environments, the recently launched Open Daylight project is backed up
by several players and it is receiving a lot of attention.
In parallel to this activity which is now largely driven by industry,
the academia is also actively pursuing the SDN topic, both following the
mainstream and using the SDN concepts in many innovative areas of
applications or with disruptive approaches.
Considering the hot SDN research areas, a lot of interest is now focused
on forwarding abstractions, Northbound APIs towards applications, SDN
high level languages and tools for improving the software robustness
like compilers and debuggers. Inter-domain aspects and inter-controller
orchestration policies draw the attention of researchers as well. The
idea of abstraction layers toward switching equipment has been proposed
for new Southbound interfaces in order to manage the coexistence of
different solutions besides the canonical OpenFlow approach (e.g.,
I2RS). New switch architectures supporting SDN are considered a hot
topic. The application of SDN in the domain of optical networks is
paving the way toward a unified control plane framework to integrate the
packet and the optical domain, promoting a better coordination with
higher network layers and applications. In mobile networks, the
introduction of SDN will enable to program base stations wireless data
plane and to enhance the functionalities of the Evolved Packet Core,
thus giving Mobile Operators greater control over their equipment and an
opportunity to introduce novel value-added services. WLANs and WPANs can
also benefit by the introduction of SDN concepts by improving resource
utilization and facilitating their programmability.
Considering the strategic side of the SDN adoption, if SDN will progress
to offer Carriers' Class solutions, which will be the impact on the
telecom ecosystem? Which innovative services and business models will
emerge out of the technology improvements?
*European*
What makes an SDN workshop European? Traditional strengths of European
research and development have been in optical transmission and wireless,
especially cellular networks. The workshop emphasizes aspects of
Software Defined Networks that come up when extending SDN 'beyond
Ethernet'. In this regard, European does not mean that we restrict to
a geographic scope, we welcome contribution and participation from all
over the world.
*Motivation*
One goal of the workshop is to bring together industry and academia on
the topics of SDN; in particular the workshop will feature an industry
forum, i.e. a session with presentations of key industrial players.
*Contributions to the workshop*
We are interested in both papers showing consolidated results and in
position papers bringing up innovative ideas. We welcome contributions
including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Forwarding abstractions, APIs, object models
- Network Function Virtualization and SDN, Network Virtualization
techniques based on SDN
- Optical extensions to OpenFlow, SDN
- Wireless integration, characterization of wireless interfaces, flows,
handover support
- Evolved packet core, LTE support for OpenFlow
- New controller architectures, Application Programmer's Interfaces, SDN
north-bound interfaces
- Interoperation of cloud architectures and SDN
- New switch architectures supporting SDN
- New networking paradigms like Content or Information Centric Networks
(CCN/ICN) and their relation with SDN
- Carrier-grade SDN architectures and equipment
- Practical experiments on OpenFlow / SDN based testbeds
- Identification of use cases for SDN, SDN related business models,
strategic role of SDN in network evolution
- SDN frameworks and tools, SDN based equipment: controllers, switches,
integrated development environment, testing and debugging environment
*Workshop Proceedings*
We plan to have the EWSDN Workshop proceedings published in IEEE Xplore,
as we did for EWSDN 2012.
