Cloud Networking 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 data centers 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 3rd IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet 2014), part of the IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative, precisely addresses these aspects.
Conference topics include (but are not limited to):
- Data Center Network Management, Reliability, Optimization
- Distributed Data Center Architectures and Services, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
- Energy-Efficient Datacenters and Networks
- Big Data Management
- Internet Routing of Cloud data
- Virtual Ethernet Switching, Data Center Bridging
- Cloud Traffic Characterization and Measurements
- Intra-Cloud vs Inter-Cloud Management
- Cloud Traffic Engineering and Control-Plane Architectures
- Green Data Centers and Cloud Networking
- Security, Privacy, and Confidentiality in Cloud Networking
- Virtualization of Network Equipment
- Unified User and Machine Mobility Management
- Data Flow Management and Load Balancing
- Mobile Cloud Networking
- Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
- Storage Area Networks, Optical Interconnect, Fiber Channels
- Content and Service Distribution
