Springer Journal of Network and Systems Management (JNSM), Special Issue on \
                Management of Software Defined Networks (SDNs)
                                                                                      \
Call for Paper Submission \
======================================================================================================
 Software Defined Networking attempts to use software defined packages or modules for \
implementing network features/functions and their control and management. SDN \
decouples physical networking infrastructure/resources from the services that utilize \
them so that a controlled level of flexibility in resources assignment can be \
achieved seamlessly for the desired services. It utilizes the concept of separating \
network control plane from the network traffic forwarding plane. The control plane \
can be physically distributed but it is logically centralized.

Universally acceptable open Application Programming Interface (API) is required to \
expose the forwarding plane to the control plane. This API must be an open \
programmable interface to virtualized forwarding resources from different \
implementation and administration domains. Therefore, the required brokering and \
orchestration would be essential to successful implementation and deployment of SDN.

In this special issue of JNSM, we look forward to publishing original research papers \
that are focused on network and system management aspects of SDN. The areas of \
interest include the following:

*         Use cases focusing on Efficient Delivery of Emerging Services

*         SDN Interoperability Framework

*         Distributed Multi-Domain Control of Information Forwarding

*         Control and Orchestration API

*         Programming (Languages) and Debugging of SDN Elements and System

*         Privacy and Security of Services and Control

*         Auditability/Verifiability of Resources Allocation and Consumption

*         Implementation Reports and Field Trials

*         Management of OpenFlow based networks

*         Orchestration and programmability of virtual resources (networking, \
computation and storage) and services
