Overview

The future infrastructures of the data centers and cloud computing are becoming more software defined. Although networking 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, and the communication performance decreases because we have been ignoring the properties of storage devices. The software-defined methodology offers an opportunity to bridge this gap and to deliver higher and improved performance. The SDDCS workshop provides the forum for researchers of multi-disciplinary fields: networks, systems research which spans data communications, networking, storage systems and devices, as well as the applications, to discuss and exchange idea on how to take this opportunity to bridge the performance gap.

    SDDCS aims to bring together industry and academia to jointly explore recent progresses related with the potential performance bottleneck and the gap between communications and storage in the software-defined context. We particularly encourage contributions which contain highly original ideas, new approaches, and/or groundbreaking results.
