Important Dates:
Submission Deadline: April 30, 2015 (Extended)
Authors Notification: May 25, 2015
Camera-ready for Accepted Papers: June 25, 2015
Scope
Today’s Data-Center Networks (DCNs) employ expensive high-level networking equipments
in associated structures thatwere not originally designed to meet the increasing requirements
of the current large-scale DCNs’ services. Limitations that vary between reliability, resource
utilization, and high costs are challenging. The era of Cloud Computing represents a promise
to overcome the aforementioned challenge, and provide for scalable services.
The computing platforms of such Cloud-Service DCNs consist of large number of commodity servers that, with
a theme of virtualization on top, can meet the reliability and performance of the expensive
high-level servers at only a fraction of the price.
Recently, the research in virtual DCNs started to evolve rapidly. Being virtual networks,
this opened the path for the concept of network migration. Indeed, virtual DCNs
can migrate from one physical location to another for many reasons starting
from power requirements to resource availability. Now, when considering the
idea of migration, many factors need to be taken into account in order to find
the appropriate place that satisfies the requirements of the migrating network
while not affecting the hosting ones.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to
– Cloud-service data-center networks.
– Theoretical analysis for data-center networks.
– Physical data-center network migration.
– Virtual Data-center networks.
– Migrating cloud-service data-center network.
– Optimal data-center networks’ architecture.
– Intra and Inter network traffic engineering in data-center networks.
– Software Defined Networks and virtual networking devices.
– Analysis of the cloud network systems.
– Addressing and load-balancing in cloud-service data-center networks.
