In the context of the emergent Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm, the attention is
mostly directed to the evolution of control protocols and networking functionalities. However …

Abstract Software-Defined Networking (SDN) represents a novel technological paradigm
expected to dominate the next-generation networking. Since the emergence of SDN, there …

The ease of programmability in Software-Defined Networking has greatly facilitated SDN
application development and deployment. Applications run simultaneously in the controller …

Reliable network-policy specification requires abstractions that can naturally model policies
together with rigorous formal foundations to reason about these policies. Current …

This paper presents GCMI, a novel API for generic control message interception that can be
used to programmatically access control messages exchanged between controllers and …

Current SDN controllers are not cognitive. We propose a new architecture for an SDN
controller to enable intelligence. The proposed new architecture is based on Multi-agent …

Software-defined networking (SDN) has the ability to flexibly configure the network and is
widely used in various scenarios. In SDN, different applications require the controller to …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged strongly in the last decade, especially
since the publication of the first OpenFlow (OF)[McKeown et al. 2008] protocol specifications …

SDN promises to overcome vendor lock-in by enabling a multi-vendor hardware and
software ecosystem in operator networks. However, we observe that this is currently not …
