SDS 2022 CFP: The Ninth International Conference on Software Defined Systems , Paris, France. December 12-15, 2022

18 May '22

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The Ninth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2022) https://emergingtechnet.org/SDS2022/index.php Paris, France. December 12-15, 2022 Pending-Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section *SDS 2022 CFP:* 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, SDS'2015, SDS'2016, SDS'2017, SDS'2018, SDS' 2019, SDS' 2020 and SDS' 2021), The Ninth International conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS'2022) 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. SDS 2022 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of Software Defined Systems. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigating SDS challenges. That is, the objective of SDS 2022 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Software Defined Systems. SDS is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to: * Software Defined Systems support for Cloud Computing . * Software Defined Networking (SDN). * SDN concepts, architecture, and APIs. * Network Virtualization * SDN and OpenFlow protocol * Software Defined Radio * Cognitive Radio Networks . * Access Control models in SDN. * Software Defined Storage. * Storage Automation and Abstraction. * Policy-driven storage provisioning. * Software Defined Servers and Virtualization. * Software Defined Datacenters. * Software Defined Security o Security policies automation. * Self-management systems. * Autonomic Computing techniques. * Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction. * Software Defined Systems Scalability. * Software Defined Systems optimization. * Software tools and frameworks to support SDS . * Software Defined Systems challenges and opportunities * Software Defined Systems surveys . * Social engineering, insider threats system for SDS. * Incident Handling and Penetration Testing with SDS. * Software Defined Systems support if IoT. * Security protocols in SDS. * Security and privacy of mobile SDS based cloud computing * Service-oriented architectures, service portability andP2P * Network virtualization and cloud-based radio access networks *Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings* 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. A full paper can be up to 8 pages (including all figures, tables and references).

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The Seventh International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2022) emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2022/index.php Paris, France. December 12-15, 2022 Pending-Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section *FMEC 2022 CFP:* Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2022 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2022 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC). FMEC 2022 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section.
