The 3rd International Workshop of Software-Defined Data Communications and Storage 2017, April 8, China

Publish Date: Jan 25, 2017

Deadline: Feb 07, 2017

Overview

Making an infrastructure “software defined” takes cross community efforts. Just like the theme of ASPLOS that brings together the architecture, systems and programming language community, SDDCS provides a multi-disciplinary forum for system research, spanning from storage devices, software systems, network virtualization and applications, focusing on the important problem of making future systems software-defined. 

The future infrastructures of the data centers and cloud computing are becoming increasingly software-defined. Although the infrastructures consist of communications and storage resources, they are generally studied separately. Hence, applications and platforms have to precisely define the virtual environment in which they wish to run. The communication performance decreases due to overlooking the properties of storage devices, and vice versa. Software-defined methodologies offer an opportunity to bridge their gap and deliver high performance. 

The SDDCS workshop provides the forum for multi-disciplinary research spanning data communications, networking, storage systems and devices, as well as the applications. SDDCS aims to bring together industry and academia to jointly explore recent progresses related to the potential performance bottleneck and the gap between communications and storage in the software-defined context. We particularly encourage contributions containing highly novel ideas, new approaches, and/or groundbreaking results. 

Topics

Topics of interests in SDDCS include but are not limited to: 

  • Software-defined memory system for cloud computing
  • Software-defined non-volatile devices
  • Convergent design for communications and storage
  • Non-volatile storage support for network transmission
  • Storage deduplication for remote cloud backups
  • Data collection and analytics for system optimization
  • Dynamic workload redistribution and scheduling
  • Non-volatile devices in network switches
  • Cross-layer coordination in data centers
  • Storage virtualization in data centers
  • Security for SDDCS schemes
  • Programmable interfaces for convergent design
  • User studies and experiences of real-world applications

Submission Instructions

Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references; two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading; and a text block 6.5" wide x 9" deep. Author names and affiliations should appear on the title page. 

The submitted papers should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. 

Submission Site: The Easychair submission
