The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm is typically applied to data center and enterprise networks. We argue that SDN is also promising for rural wireless networks, especially those in developing regions. Operating a rural network in the developing world means coping with unpredictability, low profit margins, and resource constraints; the increased flexibility and simplified management ...

The use of computing resources on network is becoming active in the Internet and private networks. OpenFlow/Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is drawing attention as a method to control network virtualization for the cloud computing services and other carrier services. This paper introduces examples of OpenFlow/SDN technologies applied to commercial cloud services. Various activities to expand ...

Software bugs are inevitable in software-defined networking (SDN) control planes, and troubleshooting is a tedious, time-consuming task. In this paper we discuss how one might improve SDN network troubleshooting by presenting a technique, retrospective causal inference, for automatically identifying a minimal sequence of inputs responsible for triggering a given bug in the control software. Ret...

Welcome to the second International Workshop on Management of SDN and NFV Systems (ManSDN/NFV 2015)! Following a successful event in 2014, we are pleased to organize the workshop this year also and provide a venue for discussions on SDN and NFV management issues. We hope that, with its high-quality technical program and its pleasant setting, the workshop will stimulate profitable interaction am...

In this paper, we propose an architecture based on software-defined networking (SDN) for wireless sensor networks. Ideas of how to design and make use of the flexibility that SDN offers are presented. We discuss how SDN principles can lead to the use of commodity hardware in a wider range of WSN deployments and then tailor the software only to meet the requirements of the specific deployments a...

This paper describes the development of new methods and software leveraging Software Defined Networking (SDN) technology that has become common in terrestrial networking. We are using SDN to improve the state-of-the-art in design and operation of aerospace communication networks. SDN enables the implementation of services and applications that control, monitor, and reconfigure the network layer...

Dynamic reconfiguration and network programmability are active research areas. State of the art solutions use the Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm to provide basic data plane abstractions and programming interfaces for control and management of these abstractions; however, SDN technologies are currently limited to wiredions; however, SDN technologies are currently limited to wired net...

In an interconnected world, cyber and physical networks face a number of challenges that need to be resolved. These challenges are mainly due to the nature and complexity of interconnected systems and networks and their ability to support heterogeneous physical and cyber components simultaneously. The construction of complex networks preserving Security and Dependability (S&D) properties is nec...

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is the next generation network architecture with exciting application prospects. The control function in SDN is decoupled from the data forwarding plane, hence it provides a new centralized architecture with flexible network resource management. Although SDN is attracting much attention from both industry and research, its advantage over the traditional network...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a network architecture that aims at providing high flexibility through the separation of the network logic from the forwarding functions. The industry has already widely adopted SDN and researchers thoroughly analyzed its vulnerabilities, proposing solutions to improve its security. However, we believe important security aspects of SDN are still left uninves...
