SCOPE

The IEEE International Workshop on Security issues in SDN (Sec-SDN 2015) will be held between April 13-17, 2015 in London, U.K. at the Cruciform Building of University College London (UCL) with 1st IEEE International Conferenceon Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2015). Software Defined Networking emerged as a game changer and major business enabler for current vendors, operators and software developing companies. SecSDN 2015 aims to attract both academic researchers and a larger audience for scientific exchanges, interactive expert panels and high quality paper presentations related to the security issues in SDN. Security in SDN is becoming crucial for the deployment and acceptance of SDN based networks and critical infrastructures and thus many current research efforts are addressing various pieces in this research landscape. With topics that range from deep packet inspection, data analytics for SDN and data plane virtualization, Sec-SDN is the first workshop to address the security issues faced by SDN. The workshop encourages authors to submit original papers covering both theoretical and practical approaches for securing SDN, leveraging software driven security architectures and reporting practical experiences from securing SDN.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
Authors are invited to submit papers that fall into the area of software-defined and virtualized infrastructures. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Security in software defined networking
  • Data analytics for monitoring in SDN
  • NFV for security management
  • Denial attack detection with SDN
  • Deep packet inspection in SDN
  • Service chaining for security monitoring
  • Threat and risk modelling for SDN
  • Data plane virtualization for security
  • OpenDayLight security mechanisms
  • Machine learning for SDN security
  • Domain Specific Languages for SDN security
  • Game theory for SDN security
  • Visualization of SDN security
  • Computational intelligence for Security in SDN
  • Agile secure development for SDN
  • SDN for critical infrastructure protection
  • Scada security and SDN
  • Security policies and management in SDN
