SDS 2025

In the era of digital transformation, the world is rapidly converging toward a future where *everything will be software-controlled*. From networks and infrastructure to industry, cities, and devices, the shift toward *softwarisation* is redefining how systems are built, operated, and evolved. This paradigm enables unprecedented agility, automation, and intelligence across every layer of modern computing environments. *The 12th International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS 2025)* invites researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to explore the foundations, architectures, challenges, and breakthroughs in software-defined everything. The conference serves as a multidisciplinary platform to showcase innovations in *programmability, abstraction, virtualization, and orchestration* that drive software-defined solutions across domains. As control and intelligence increasingly migrate from hardware to software, SDS 2025 aims to stimulate cross-disciplinary dialogue and foster collaborations that bridge networking, systems, security, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and beyond. SDS 2025 is more than a conference, it's a forum to define the software-driven future of connected intelligence. We welcome theoretical insights, practical innovations, case studies, and visionary ideas that push the boundaries of software-defined systems.

We welcome high-quality research and case studies in, but not limited to, the following areas:

*1. Core Foundations of Software-Defined Systems*

* Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Storage (SDS), and Compute * Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and service chaining * Control plane/data plane decoupling and programmability (e.g., P4, eBPF) * Intent-based, policy-driven, and declarative system control * Platforms for orchestration, monitoring, and lifecycle management

*2. Software-Defined Cloud, Edge, and Fog Environments*

* Software-defined architectures for cloud-edge continuum * Edge-native orchestration and microservices * Serverless and Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) models in SDS * Lightweight virtualization and container orchestration at scale * Hybrid and distributed infrastructure control across fog, edge, and cloud

*3. AI-Driven and Intelligent SDS*

* AI/ML for optimization, orchestration, and decision-making * Federated and distributed learning in software-defined environments * Reinforcement learning for dynamic resource and policy control * Explainable and trustworthy AI in SDS automation

*4. Security, Privacy, and Trust in Software-Defined Systems*

* Secure identity, authentication, and access control * Zero trust architectures for SDS * AI-based threat detection and intrusion response * Post-quantum security and trust models in virtualized systems * Confidential computing and privacy-preserving orchestration

*5. Automation, Resilience, and Adaptability*

* Self-configuring, self-healing, and self-optimizing SDS * Closed-loop control and feedback in system orchestration * Digital twins and predictive simulation for SDS environments * Resilience and disaster recovery in programmable infrastructure

*6. Interoperability, Standards, and DevOps*

* Multi-vendor and multi-domain SDS interoperability * Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and DevSecOps for SDS * APIs, standard protocols, and open-source frameworks * Benchmarks, simulators, and validation environments for SDS

*7. Sustainable and Responsible Software-Defined Systems*

* Energy-aware design and carbon-efficient orchestration * Green AI and sustainability metrics in softwarised systems * Lifecycle management and sustainable SDS architecture

*8. Human-Centered and Societal Perspectives*

* Human-in-the-loop and explainable SDS interfaces * Usability, visualization, and abstraction for managing complex SDS * Ethics, transparency, and governance in autonomous systems

*9. Applications and Emerging Domains*

* SDS for smart cities, industrial automation (Industry 4.0), and healthcare * Software-defined robotics, drones, and autonomous systems * SDS in 5G/6G networks, network slicing, and beyond * Digital twins for infrastructure, manufacturing, and cyber-physical systems * Integration of quantum, neuromorphic, and non-traditional compute models

*10. Software Engineering for Software-Defined Systems*

* Software Architecture & Design for SDS * Design patterns for programmable infrastructures * Scalable and modular architectures for cloud-edge control * Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and APIs for infrastructure control * DevOps, DevSecOps, and Automation * * CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for SDS * Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and configuration management * Security integration (DevSecOps) in software-defined environments *

Testing, Verification, and Reliability Engineering

Formal methods and runtime verification for SDS * Chaos engineering, fault injection, and resilience testing * Simulation and digital twins for pre-deployment validation *

Tooling and Software Infrastructure

Compilers, SDKs, and orchestration frameworks for SDS * Open-source tools and platforms supporting programmable systems * Emulators, testbeds, and benchmarking environments *

Human-Centered and Process-Aware Engineering

Developer experience (DevEx) and usability in SDS tools * Socio-technical aspects and collaboration in large SDS teams * Agile/lean processes adapted for infrastructure software *

Governance, Sustainability, and Software Lifecycle Management

Lifecycle engineering for long-term evolution of SDS * Sustainability and green software practices * Regulatory compliance, traceability, and ethics in system automation
