CLOUDNET 2012 - 2012 International Conference on Cloud Networking (CLOUDNET)

Cloud computing has emerged as a promising direction for cost-efficient and reliable service delivery across data communication networks. The dynamic location of service facilities and the virtualization of hardware and software elements are stressing the communication network and protocols, especially when datacenters are interconnected through the Internet. Although the "computing" aspects of Cloud technologies have been largely investigated, lower attention has been devoted to the "networking" aspects. The 2012 Conference on Cloud Networking (CloudNet 2012) precisely addresses these aspects. Conference topics include (but are not limited to):
Datacenter Network Management and Reliability
Distributed Datacenter Architectures
Internet Routing of Cloud data
Ethernet Routing: TRILL, Shortest Path Bridging, Data Center Bridging, L2LSP, OpenFlow, OAM
Cloud Traffic Characterization and Measurements
Intra-Cloud vs Inter-Cloud Management
Cloud Traffic Engineering and Control-Plane Architectures
Security, Privacy, Confidentiality in Cloud networking
Network on the fly, Virtual control, Virtual radio, Isolation
Unified User and Machine Mobility Management
Virtualization of Wireless Equipment
Mobile Cloud Networking
Storage Area Networks, Optical Interconnect, Fiber Channel
Content and Service Distribution
