Software Defined Networking (SDN) has obtained a lot of attention during decade and has been considered as an evolutionary breakthrough for the next-generation network technologies. It enables fine-grained flow control that can make networks more customizable and flexible. Despite this large spectrum of deployments, today's SDNs have in common that they are of small scale, e.g., limited to a small network or to a single administrative domain. The next major challenge thus resides in scaling SDNs up. The scope of this workshop is research addressing the challenge of deploying SDN at scale. On the other hand, becomes more complex in SDN due to new and multi-lateral network domains, and poses many critical challenges on the existing network reliability mechanisms in order to achieve the same reliability services. In this workshop, we are seeking novel approaches and unpublished work related to scalability and reliability issues and solutions for SDN. In particular, we would like to focus on recent developments in protocols, application design, and architecture specification for achieving scalability and reliability in SDN in various contexts such as:

• SDN-Based Datacenter networks, Enterprise networks, Campus networks, Large-Scale Wide-Area networks, 4G/5G Mobile Networks, etc.

• Scalability and Reliability issues at SDN Control Planes

• Scalability and Reliability issues at SDN Data Planes

• SDN Applications and Algorithms (e.g., Traffic Engineering, Mobile Management, Network Slicing, Multi-Tenancy)

• SDN deployment Issues (e.g., Non-SDN to SDN Incremental Migration, Non-SDN and SDN Hybrid Deployment)

• Scalable and Reliable Service Orchestration, Operational Support, and System Management for SDNs

• Scalable and Reliable Control Protocols, API and Programming Languages for SDNs

• Scalable and Reliable Hardware Architectures and Programmable Pipelines (e.g., NetFPGA, Crossbar, TCAM etc.)

• Experimental Approaches for Scalability and Reliability Issues in SDNs • Scalable and Reliable SDN-Based Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Cloud and Fog Computing

• Next-Generation Network Softwarization Architectures

• Standardization and Interoperability for Large-scale SDN (e.g., OpenflowTM, OpenDayLightTM, Inter SDN Controller Communication (SDNi) etc.)

• New Value Chains and Business Models for SDN

Paper Format and Submission

The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed 6 pages for regular papers and 3 pages for short research statements (including all figures, tables and references) using the templates available at http://ccnc2018.ieee-ccnc.org/authors. To submit your paper, please access the submission system at EDAS submission system. One additional page may be allowed but with additional publication fee. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. The presenter must register for the workshop before the deadline for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE CCNC 2019 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®, and indexed by Engineering Index (EI).
