The Symposium on SDN Research (SOSR)

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, backbone, and transport networks
2. Applications of SDN to network management, monitoring, security, Internet of Things (IoT), content-centric networking, etc.
3. Virtualized network functions (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, etc.) built or managed using software-defined networks
4. Virtualization of SDNs
5. White-box and bare-metal switching
6. Novel data-plane architectures for software defined networks
7. Programming languages, verification techniques, and testing techniques for SDN
8. New SDN control frameworks
9. Techniques for improving the security, reliability, performance, and scalability of SDNs
10. Experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks
11. Strategies for the incremental deployment of SDN in existing networks
12. Distributed SDN control planes for better reliabilty, security, and performance
