SDN'12: Workshop on Software Defined Networks

Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC)

June 15 2012, Ottawa, Canada

Scope

The objective of this workshop is to bring together practitioners of software defined networks (SDN), from across the different sub-disciplines (optical, “core”, wireless) as well as from academy and industry, to exchange ideas, present exiting new approaches, as well as openly discuss the challenges and opportunities.

As this workshop is targeting participants from a very broad, and often fragmented spectrum, we envision a highly interactive program to identify common challenges and approaches to solve them despite the very different environments in which they may get applied. We therefore specifically invite contributions focusing on visionary ideas and long term challenges to stimulate healthy discussions.

This workshop is open to everyone wanting to participate in a lively discussion on these topics.
