UBITECH is actively involved in the organization of the Special Session on “Software engineering approaches aligned with the Softwarization of Networks and Services” that is going to be held at the European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC’2016*) in Athens at the 29th of June 2016. The special session will provide an overview of on-going work in the EU Horizon 2020 projects ARCADIA and INPUT that UBITECH participates, presentation of related initiatives, and contributions from other researchers and projects. The main goal is to share bleeding-edge knowledge, to cluster complementary activities, and to stimulate the synergy and cooperation from different technology domains and research projects.
The following topics fall within the target area of the special session: Software engineering approaches adopting DevOps practices; Smart and automated cloud services orchestration frameworks; Software-defined network-based cloud Computing approaches; Software-defined infrastructures and fog computing; Dynamic service placement and scalability strategies; Service function chaining and deployment methodologies; Distributed services enabled through SDN for IoT networks; Distributed applications performance monitoring and profiling; Virtual network function analytics approaches; Convergence of computing and networking infrastructures; Energy efficiency, QoS and Security issues for distributed computing.
The program of the special session is made available at http://www.eucnc.eu/?q=node/122.
* EuCNC’2016 is the 25th edition of a successful series of a technical and scientific conference open to the world research community, sponsored by the European Commission, in the area of Telecommunications, focusing on communication networks and systems, and reaching services and applications. It aims at showcasing the results of the consecutive programmes on R&D and projects co-financed by European programmes, as well as presenting the latest developments in this area.
