DSDN 2014
PODC 2014 Workshop July 15, 2014 Paris, France
Overview
The Workshop on Distributed Software-Defined Networks (DSDN) is a forum to discuss new algorithmic and distributed computing challenges offered by the emerging field of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN abstracts the cumbersome task of computer network management to a distinct control plane with a standard programming interface. Distributed implementations of the control plane give rise to new and interesting concurrency scenarios to be addressed by the distributed computing community.
Details
The workshop is going to take place on 15 July in Paris, France, co-located with PODC 2014. The program combines peer-reviewed presentations (15 mins) with invited talks (30-40 mins), both from researchers in the field of distributed computing as well as from researchers in the field of networking. As such, the goal of the DSDN workshop is to provide a forum where the distributed computing and networking communities can meet and learn from their respective fields.
The workshop is going to take place in room 26-25-101, at LIP6 (how to find LIP6)

Submissions
Submissions (in PDF) are done by email to petr.kuznetsov@telecom-paristech.fr and stefan.schmid@tu-berlin.de, and should briefly (in 1-2 pages) describe the content of the presentation. The abstracts will appear on the DSDN website, but will not be included in the PODC proceedings. The presentations can report and summarize on previous work, present early new results or put forward new and outrageous ideas.
Schedule
- Submission Deadline: May 30, 2014
- Notification: June 10, 2014
