Dear all.

This is a kind reminder that the paper submission deadline is approaching
for:
IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 Workshop - Software-Defined Networking (SDN) & Optics: a
Control Plane for Emerging Optical Networks

Paper Submission Deadline: *June 25, 2013*

Software defined networking or SDN is defined as a control framework that
supports the programmability of network functions and protocols by
decoupling the data plane and the control plane, which are currently
integrated vertically in most network equipment. The SDN technology allows
network operators to manipulate logical map of the network and create
multiple co-existing network slices independent of the underlying transport
technology and network protocols. Furthermore, the separation of control
plane and data plane makes the SDN a suitable candidate for end-to-end
network service delivery. Enabling SDN at the optical layer can potentially
facilitate application specific network slicing at optical layer,
coordination of higher network layers and application withoptical layer. It
can also provide a unified control plane platform for integration of packet
and optical switched networks for access, metro and core network segments.

This full day workshop explores the state-of-the-art, the potentials and
the possible applications of software defined networks and OpenFlow
framework empowered by optics. The workshop brings together technical
contributions ranging from control plane technologies and networking
techniques to techno-economic evaluations and market implications. The
workshop includes a lively panel and audience debate to discuss and deepen
the opinions of researchers, carriers, operators, device, and equipment
vendors. Potential audiences include: university faculty, graduate
students-Engineers, managers of vendors and operators, policy makers and
market/technology analysts.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• SDN architecture
• OpenFlow and other enabling protocols
• SDN for Flexible grid optical networks
• Virtualized Networks and Clouds
• SDN-based mobile backhaul architecture
• SLA and QoS assurance in SDN
• SDN standardization
• SDN for carrier and data center networks
• SDN as a new platform for businesses
• SDN devices or sub-systems in optical networks
• Software-defined optical transmission technologies
• Software-defined multi-layer or multi-domain optical networks
• Software-defined converged fixed and mobile aggregation/metro networks
• Protection/restoration strategies in SDN
• Green technologies in SDN
• Emerging next-generation optical transport and enabling technology
• Optical bandwidth virtualization and multilayer integration
• Techno-economic analysis
• Market expectations including operators’ view
• Experiments and field trials

Format: Full-day workshop. We solicit high-quality contributions from both
academia and industry that report on advances and open issues on
SDN/OpenFlow for optical networks. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed.
Invited presentations from industry experts may be included to ensure that
the scope of the program spans the whole range of topics involved. The
workshop will conclude with a panel to foster discussions.
