---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS
ENERGY-EFFICIENCY, PROGRAMMABILITY, FLEXIBILITY AND INTEGRATION IN FUTURE NETWORK ARCHITECTURES (EPFI)

************************************************** Paper Submission Deadline: May 10th, 2014 ***************************************************
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
SCOPE AND TOPICS ----------------------------- The focus of this workshop is on two of the hottest technological trends that will drive the evolution of the Internet: energy efficiency and software-defined networks. If jointly applied to the design of next-generation network devices and infrastructures, these concepts may revolutionize the network, as we know today, by introducing extreme flexibility, programmability, virtualization and customization of network functionalities and their integration within the "Cloud." On one hand, energy efficiency will be the key for the needed scalability to support "Big Data" and large-scale network infrastructures and Data-Centers. On the other hand, energy-efficient approach can take advantage of the network flexibility provided by Software-Defined approaches.
The topics covered by the proposed workshop will include (but not limited to):
- Evolution of Software Defined protocols and architectures; - Network programmability and energy-efficiency; - Traffic engineering for energy-efficient software defined networks; - Design of green programmable network devices; - Programmability for Network devices; - Energy efficient network integration with the cloud; - Green support for Big Data; - Green Data-Centers.
Submissions are limited to 6 pages in IEEE conference format. Papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore. Submissions are handled through the EDAS system. Upon final camera-ready paper submission, authors will need to sign an IEEE copyright form for each accepted paper to comply with IEEE regulations.
IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Submission: May 10th, 2014 Notification of acceptance: May 31st, 2014 Camera Ready paper: June 8th, 2014 Workshop venue: September 12th, 2014
