3rd IEEE International Symposium on Software Defined Systems
(SDS-2016)
http://www.staffs.ac.uk/personal/engineering_and_technology/eb26/SDS-2016/default.php
in conjunction with
2016 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E 2016)
April 4-8, 2016, Berlin, Germany
Call for papers
Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are
constructed and managed. Conventional control and management platforms are
facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, dependability and
security that next generation systems will require. The cloud computing
paradigm has gone part of the way towards alleviating some of the problems
associated with resource allocation, utilization and managements (e.g., via
elasticity). However, many of the elements of a well-designed cloud environment
remain “stiff” and hard to modify and adapt in an integrated fashion. This
includes underlying networking topologies, many aspects of the user control
over IaaS, PaaS or SaaS layers when such is needed, construction of XaaS
services, provenance and meta-data collection, and so on. In many situations
the problem may be because service abstraction is inadequate. Software Defined
Systems (SDS) are systems that have added software components which help
abstract actual IT equipment and other layers. One classical example, of
course, are hypervisors. Such separation provides a great opportunity for
system administrators to more easily construct and managing their systems
through flexible software layers. Software Defined Systems include Software
Defined Networking (SDN), Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers
(Virtualization), Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security
(SDSec), and ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few
possibilities. Individual solutions and seamless integration of these
abstractions remains in many respects a challenge. After the high success of
the previous editions (SDS'2014 and SDS'2015), The third International Sympoium
on Software Defined Systems 2016 (SDS'2016) will continue to be a forum for
scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to present their latest
research results, ideas, and developments in the area of software defined
systems – both components and their integration - and by implication
advancement of next generation clouds.

Papers Submissions Guidelines:
Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11"
two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission
Link<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sds2016>.A full paper should not
exceed 6 pages (including all figures, tables and references).A paper submitted
to SDS 2015 cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during
the entire time it is considered for SDS 2015. All submissions are
peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published by
the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services. IEEE reserves the
right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal
from IEEE Xplore) if none of the authors attends the conference to present
their paper.
