2nd IEEE Workshop on Orchestration for Software-Defined Infrastructures

(O4SDI-2)

November 7th, 2016

Palo Alto, California, USA

Call For Papers

The Second IEEE Workshop on Orchestration for Software-Defined Infrastructures (O4SDI) addresses the challenges that will facilitate orchestration and programmability of generalized virtual functions in Software Defined Infrastructures (SDI), enabling cloud and network providers to deploy integrated services across different resource domains. Orchestration mechanisms will facilitate the live deployment and lifecycle management of these virtual elements, at the application level, the server level, and the network level within a single domain and across multiple domains. Without such orchestration it will not be possible to enable dynamic establishment of generalized virtual
function chains, according to service requirements.O4SDI aims at providing an international forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, network operators, and service providers to discuss and address the challenges deriving from such emerging scenario where systems, processes, and workflows used in both computing and communications domains are converging.

Topics

Due to the highly interdisciplinary scope of the workshop, contributions are expected from both computing and network-oriented research communities, with the aim of facilitating discussion, cross-fertilization and exchange of ideas and practices, and successfully promote innovative solutions toward a real programmatic use of software-defined infrastructures as a whole. Contributions that discuss lessons learnt and best practices, describe practical deployment and implementation experiences, and demonstrate innovative use-cases are especially encouraged for presentation and publication.

We are particularly interested in papers that cover, but are not
limited to, the following topics:
- single domain and cross domain orchestration issues
- integrated network and computing resource control and management
- control and abstraction of heterogeneous networks
- orchestration in SDN/NFV
- run-time orchestration
- orchestration for next-generation IP and optical networks
- orchestration in 5G networks
- QoS/QoE in software-defined infrastructures
- orchestration for high-availability and resilience in
software-defined infrastructures
- intent-based orchestration
- dynamic service composition and delivery
- network programmability for service chaining
- software engineering and operating systems techniques applied
to orchestration
- description, specification, and abstraction languages
for orchestration
- optimal orchestration algorithms
- context-aware orchestration
- functional architectures of orchestrating elements
- testbed experiments on orchestrations
- performance evaluation of orchestration elements
- standardization issues in orchestration
