Dear Colleagues

It's my pleasure to present the Call for Papers for the fourth edition 
of the European Workshop on Software Defined Networks, EWSDN 2015.

The workshop will be held from 30 September to 2 October 2015 in Bilbao, 
Spain and will be hosted by the University of the Basque Country in the 
Bizkaia Aretoa venue.

This CFP can be be downloaded at
http://www.ewsdn.eu/files/Documents/EWSDN2015/ewsdn2015-cfp.pdf

During these last years EWSDN has been focusing in bringing together, in 
a highly interactive event, researchers and practitioners at the leading 
edges of software-based networks and network function virtualization, 
following a rather practical approach and seeking for being useful to 
establish links, technical exchanges and interactions among the 
community in Europe and beyond. While both technologies are leaving the 
hype zone and becoming available for deployment, new ideas and 
developments are being produced through research projects, industrial 
activity or highly motivated researchers.

This year we are interested in papers showing preliminary results as 
well as consolidated results backed by experimentation and live 
demonstrations that demonstrate new developments. Finally, we also 
encourage the submission of position papers bringing up innovative ideas.

Topics for contributions include, but are not limited to the following:

* Advancements in SDN technology
- Virtualization architectures
- New controller architectures, APIs and northbound interfaces
- Forwarding abstractions, APIs, object models
- New switch architectures and software/hardware implementations 
supporting SDN
- SDN frameworks and tools, SDN-based equipment: controllers, switches, 
integrated development environment, verifying, testing and debugging 
environment

* SDN and NFV
- Network Function Virtualization and SDN, network virtualization techniques
- Interoperation of cloud architectures and SDN
- Security implications of SDN and security enhancements to SDN, as well 
as new security services enabled by SDN

* Interaction with legacy networks
- Wireless integration, characterization of wireless interfaces, flows, 
handover support
- Optical extensions to OpenFlow, Transport SDN.
- Evolved packet core, LTE support for OpenFlow
- Carrier-grade SDN architectures and equipment
- Access networks

* Application and SDN
- Middleware for application and SDN
- QoS/QoE control techniques with SDN
- Application of SDN in novel areas
- SDN architectures for 5G networks

* Education and SDN/NFV
- Theory of SDN.
- Teaching virtualized networks.
- Use of large testbeds for education.

* Experimentation and deployments
- Practical experiments on SDN/Cloud/OpenFlow/ForCES
- Testbeds/Research and Education Networks (REN) deployment and operation
- Multi-domain interconnection/exchange mechanisms for SDN

* Industry and SDN
- Identification of use cases for SDN, SDN-related service and business 
models, strategic role of SDN in network evolution
- Regulatory aspects around network virtualization
- Standardization: ONF, ETSI, IETF, IRTF… cooperation, interest clash?

The submission format is CPS Conference Style, A4 format, of up to 6 
pages, double column, 10pt font. Please use standard CPS conference 
proceedings template in A4 format. EWSDN Workshop Proceedings will be
