DSDN 2014 - Workshop on Distributed Software-Defined Networks

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.

The workshop is going to take place on 15 July in Paris, France, co-located with PODC 2014.
The program will combine peer-reviewed presentations (around 30min) with invited talks (between 30 and 60 min), 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.
