Workshop date: May 29th or May 30th (Depending on ESWC2016 program)

Software-defined infrastructure can be under the control of individual
organizations, but often they are connected together in a federated manner to
provide richer services. Within these federated contexts, the requirements for
formal information exchange and lifecycle management become even more complex
and stringent. The federation of multiple, separately administrated
infrastructures requires that they are available for utilization under common
APIs, authentication/authorization schemes and tools. This is a hard task, as
various providers might use different approaches to manage their cyber resources
and/or services. Given the heterogeneity of the resources on offer in these
infrastructures, one particular issue that emerges is the description of these
offerings.
The main objective of SWSDI 2016 is to study the applicability and maturity of
Semantic Web based methodologies for modelling the newly emerging
software-defined (computing and networking) infrastructures, particularly
federated infrastructures and federated Clouds. Furthermore, SWSDI 2016 aims to
identify how the Semantic Web surpasses other approaches, such as the exchange
of simple XML or JSON serialized tree data structures.
Topics of Interest

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the application of Semantic
Web technologies and ontology development for:

* Software Defined Infrastructures (SDIs) and Cloud Computing
* Federated Clouds and Federated Infrastructures
* Software Defined Networking (SDN), Software Defined Wide Area Networking
(SD-WAN), and Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
* Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO)
* Internet of Everything (IoE) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
* Big Data and Analytics
* Wireless, Cellular, and Sensor Networks

Submission Guidelines

Papers must not exceed six (6) pages in length and formatted according to the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format. All papers must be submitted in
PDF format.
More information about LNCS format is available at
https://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.
All submissions are done via EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swsdi2016.
All submissions must be written in English. Submitted papers will be peer
reviewed by three independent reviewers. The accepted papers must be presented
at the workshop. Accepted papers will be included in the CEUR workshop
proceedings. Furthermore, best papers accepted at the workshop will be included
in the supplementary proceedings of ESWC2016, which will appear in the Springer
LNCS series.
At least one author of each paper has to register for the workshop and present
the paper.
