Workshop on Cloud Networks - WCN 2016, 6th July 2016

The workshop brings together well-experienced researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss and advance the state-of-the-art research in the emerging area of cloud-based networks and applications. In this first edition, the WCN is supported by the EUBrasilCloudForum Project (http://eubrasilcloudforum.eu).

This workshop will present unpublished, novel research work related to the latest challenges, technologies, solutions and techniques related to networking within the cloud and will cover aspects ranging from security to resources’ management towards an efficient and effective cloud deployment and hosting of the various emerging applications and services. Effective solutions related to the placement, sizing, bursting, and migration of compute, storage, and data resources within the cloud network(s) become critical to the deployment of elastic and agile applications.

Main topics of interest:

Network function virtualization
SDN-enabled cloud datacenters
Cloud-based services for IoT and Smart Cities
Virtual private cloud networking
Intra and inter-cloud networking
Deployment of cloud apps and services
Big Data application provisioning on the cloud
Cloud bursting techniques
