Workshop on Programmability for Cloud Networks and Applications (PROCON)
Date: Monday, September 12, 2016 (11:00 - 17:00)
Location: Computer Science Building of the University of Würzburg, Turing lecture hall
Description: The continuous growth of Internet content, applications and services has resulted in ever more demanding requirements of computing power, scalability, data processing, data storage, energy consumption and transfer speed. To meet this, one solution is the use of the cloud paradigm for applications and services. It covers a broad range of distributed computing principles as well as related application paradigms, networking approaches or architecture models. This workshop covers the scientific areas around Cloud Networks, Programmability inside Networks, Cloud and Fog Computing principles, Software Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and Software Engineering approaches for Highly Distributed Applications. The workshop is supported and initiated by the two EC H2020 projects INPUT & ARCADIA.
