Workshop International sur les Nouvelles Technologies sans Fil et Systèmes Répartis WITS-2014

L’école Nationale des Sciences Appliquées de Fès- Maroc, organise le Workshop International sur les Nouvelles Technologies sans Fil et Systèmes Répartis WITS-2014 du 09 et 10 Avril 2014 à Fès.

L'objectif principal de WITS’2014 est de créer un espace de partage et d’échange en ce qui à trait aux nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication.

Par ailleurs, cette activité se veut un pôle d’attraction qui regroupera des experts de diverses composantes de la communauté nationale et internationale intéressées par le thème, en l’occurrence : chercheurs, industriels, doctorants et ingénieurs.

Les thèmes abordés traiteront des récents développements et de l'état d'art dans les travaux de recherche relevant des technologies émergentes et des systèmes répartis dédiés aux réseaux sans fil.

Le WITS’2014 se déroulera en 2 jours, en plus des communications orales et des posters (en langues français ou anglais) traitant plusieurs thèmes d’actualité dans le domaine des réseaux sans fil et leurs applications, des conférences invitées seront programmées et animées par des spécialistes internationaux.

Les participants au workshop WITS’2014 auront, ainsi, l'occasion de :

-       mettre à jour leurs connaissances autour des progrès réalisés dans le domaine des technologies sans fil.

      -     favoriser l’échange et la coopération entre les chercheurs universitaires à travers la présentation et la discussion des travaux soumis.

SDS 2014: IEEE International Workshop on Software Defined Systems (SDS -2014), March 11-14, 2014, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

IEEE International Workshop on Software Defined Systems
(SDS -2014)
in conjunction with
2014 IEEE International Conference on 
Cloud Engineering (IC2E 2014)

March 11, 2014, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
                

         Call for papers
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 managements (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. The first International workshop on Software Defined Systems (SDS -2014) is a forum for scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to present their latest research results, ideas, and developments in the area of software defined systems – both components and their integration - and by implication advancement of next generation clouds.
