[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]

The 10th International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2023)

San Antonio, Texas , USA. October 23-25, 2023

(Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE and IEEE Systems Council)

*SDS 2023 CFP: *

Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are
constructed and managed. Conventional control and management platforms are
facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, dependability and
security that next generation systems will require. The cloud computing
paradigm has gone part of the way towards alleviating some of the problems
associated with resource allocation, utilization and management (e.g., via
elasticity). However, many of the elements of a well-designed cloud
environment remain "stiff" and hard to modify and adapt in an integrated
fashion. This includes underlying networking topologies, many aspects of
the user control over IaaS, PaaS or SaaS layers when such is needed,
construction of XaaS services, provenance and meta-data collection, and so
on. In many situations the problem may be because service abstraction is
inadequate. Software Defined Systems (SDS) are systems that have added
software components which help abstract actual IT equipment and other
layers. One classical example, of course, are hypervisors. Such separation
provides a great opportunity for system administrators to more easily
construct and managing their systems through flexible software layers.
Software Defined Systems include Software Defined Networking (SDN),
Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers (Virtualization),
Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security (SDSec), and
ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few possibilities.
Individual solutions and seamless integration of these abstractions remains
in many respects a challenge. SDS aims to investigate the opportunities and
in all aspects of Software Defined Systems. In addition, it seeks for novel
contributions that help mitigating SDS challenges. That is, the objective
of SDS is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to
discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects
of Software Defined Systems. SDS is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE.

*Submission Guidelines: *

Papers selected for presentation will appear in the SDS Proceedings and
will be submitted to IEEE for inclusion. Papers can be up to 8 pages in
IEEE format, 10pt font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format, single
space, A4 format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper must not exceed the
stated length (including all figures, tables and references). The
proceedings will be submitted for indexing to EI (Compendex), Scopus and
other indexing services like DBLP.

Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not
currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also,
submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not
appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact
the Program Chair for further information or clarification.
