SOSR 2017 - 2017 Symposium on SDN Research

We call for submission of previously unpublished papers on Software Defined Networking. We particularly encourage position papers, radical ideas, and experiences building and deploying SDN systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, backbone, and transport networks
Applications of SDN to network management, monitoring, security, Internet of Things (IoT), content-centric networking, etc.
Virtualized network functions (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, etc.) built or managed using software-defined networks
Virtualization of SDNs
White-box and bare-metal switching
Novel data-plane architectures for software defined networks
Programming languages, verification techniques, and testing techniques for SDN
New SDN control frameworks
Techniques for improving the security, reliability, performance, and scalability of SDNs
Experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks
Strategies for the incremental deployment of SDN in existing networks
Distributed SDN control planes for better reliabilty, security, and performance
In addition to traditional research papers, we seek papers that present
the design and applications of useful SDN tools
surveys of important SDN concepts, techniques, and standards
technical overviews of larger research projects, production systems, and use cases
open-source benchmark suites or measurement data for evaluating SDN systems.
