News:

April 28, 2015: (Summary) Our workshop has been successfully held and attracted more than 70 attendees. The attendees are very interested in our topics, and have at least 3 questions to each of keynote speech and the presented papers due to time limit. This is the good opportunity to bring together the networking and storage communities.  We would like to thanks all authors and attendees. Look forward to meeting you next year!

April 5, 2015: The final program is ready.

Feb.15, 2015: The tentative program is online now.

Feb.5, 2015: The instruction for submitting camera-ready version is here.

Jan. 29, 2015: IEEE Fellow, Prof.Jian-nong Cao (Hong Kong Polytechnic University) will give the keynote in our workshop.

Jan. 22, 2015: The authors of accepted papers prepare the camera-ready version following the similar instructions in final version. Please submit the final 6-page version and copyright form before Feb.15, 2015.

Jan. 21, 2015: The authors of the  half-day SDDCS workshop need to pay the Full Workshop Registration fee. More details can be found at Registration.

Jan. 20, 2015: We send the notification to authors.  Thanks for our hardworking TPC. The program will be announced soon.

Jan. 18, 2015: SDDCS 2015 is scheduled in the afternoon, on April 27, 2015. Welcome to attend our workshop.

Overview

The future infrastructures of data centers and cloud computing are becoming software defined. Although these infrastructures consist of both 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. The communication performance decreases due to overlook of the properties of storage devices while storage performance may also get impacted by communication system. The software-defined methodology offers an opportunity to bridge their gap and deliver high performance. The SDDCS workshop provides a multi-disciplinary forum for networks and systems research spanning data communications, networking, storage systems and devices, as well as applications.

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