Dear all,

The UNIFY project (http://www.fp7-unify.eu) has recently published a paper that presents a comprehensive outlook on a range of "Research Directions in Network Service Chaining". Although there's already chartered work underway in the SFC WG, there's still a lot to be done from a research perspective. For example, the paper discusses the current challenges during the typical lifecycle of a network service chain.

The paper is available on IEEE Xplore (http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/SDN4FNS.2013.6702549). A preprint is publicly available as well: http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.5080.

Looking forward to your comments.

Best regards,

Kostas
