CDN 2015 - International Workshop on Cloud-Service DataCenter Networks (CDN '15)?

Today’s Data-Center Networks (DCNs) employ expensive high-level networking equipments in associated structures that were not originally designed to meet the increasing requirements of the current large-scale DCNs' services. Limitations that vary between reliability, resource utilization, and high costs are challenging. The era of Cloud Computing represents a promise to overcome the aforementioned challenge, and provide for scalable services.
The computing platforms of such Cloud-Service DCNs consist of large number of commodity servers that, with a theme of virtualization on top, can meet the reliability and performance of the expensive high-level servers at only a fraction of the price.
Recently, the research in virtual DCNs started to evolve rapidly. Being virtual networks, this opened the path for the concept of network migration. Indeed, virtual DCNs can migrate from one physical location to another for many reasons starting from power requirements to resource availability. Now, when considering the idea of migration, many factors need to be taken into account in order to find the appropriate place that satisfies the requirements of the migrating network while not affecting the hosting one!
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
? Theoretical analysis for data-center networks.
? Cloud-service data-center networks.
? Physical data-center network migration.
? Virtual Data-center networks.
? Migrating cloud-service data-center network.
? Optimal data-center networks' architecture.
? Intra and Inter network traffic engineering in data-center networks.
? Software Defined Networks and virtual networking devices.
? Analysis of the cloud network systems.
? Addressing and load-balancing in cloud-service data-center networks.
