Co-organization of the PROCON 2016 workshop to be held in conjunction with the ITC 28 in Würzburg

UBITECH is actively involved in the organization of the First International Workshop on Programmability for Cloud Networks and Applications to be held in conjunction with the ITC 28 in Würzburg, technically co-sponsored by IEEE and VDE ITG, and in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM, since the workshop is supported and initiated by the two EC H2020 projects INPUT and ARCADIA, wherein UBITECH participates.

This workshop covers the scientific areas around Cloud Networks, Programmability inside Networks, Cloud and Fog Computing principles, Software Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and Software Engineering approaches for Highly Distributed Applications. The following topics fall within the target area of the workshop: energy efficiency and cloud/network management approaches; personal cloud and network virtualization technologies; architectures for SDN and NFV in legacy and 5G networks; user mobility and application/service proximity; personal cloud services and the Internet of Things; management and monitoring of QoS/QoE over programmable networks; cloud and network operating systems; software development approaches over programmable infrastructure; software engineering for DevOps; distributed applications deployment and orchestration frameworks; service chaining approaches based on building of microservices; virtualization technology, management of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and enablers; architectural models, prototype implementations and applications; Internet of Things architectural models, prototype implementations and applications; extensions to IaaS, PaaS and SaaS concepts and interfaces.

Authors are invited to submit papers, which fall within the areas mentioned above or are related to them. The paper submission deadline is the 2nd of May 2016. The workshop is co-chaired by Dr. Florian Wamser from University of Würzburg, Dr. Roberto Bruschi from Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), and Dr. Anastasios Zafeiropoulos from UBITECH.
