<u><b>Call For Papers:</b></u><br>
Software applications continue to evolve with more
functionalities, complex structures and interactions with
users. Security risks continue to evolve as well in both
quantity in the same domains as well new types and ways on
how to break into software applications, websites,
databases, etc. Software Defined Networking (SDN) evolves
in the recent years to coin several concepts related to
programmable networks. Such technology trend (of
programming and automating more and more features) is not
only a trend in software applications. For example,
monitoring the car manufacturing industry, we can see that
recent car models have more automated programmable
features in comparison with their earlier models. Same
thing can be applicable to most other engineering
products. SDN brings security opportunities to change the
way security controls (e.g. firewalls, Intrusion Detection
Systems IDS, etc.) are developed and enforced. They also
bring security challenges related to SDN architecture or
any changes that can be directly or indirectly related to
SDN. Security Issues and Software Defined Networking: FSC
will focus on issues related to SDN security challenges as
well as opportunities. Researchers are encouraged to
submit original research contributions in all major areas,
which include, but not limited to:<br>
<br>
<u><b>Topics of interest:</b></u><br>
· SDN and network design.<br>
· SDN controllers and applications vulnerabilities.<br>
· SDN and access control issues.<br>
· Future programmable firewalls.<br>
· Autonomous firewalls and IDS/IPS.<br>
· SDN and wireless security issues.<br>
· Virtualization and cloud security.<br>
· SDN and security in data centers.<br>
· SDN and security in education.<br>
· SDN and vehicular communication security challenges and
opportunities.<br>

<b><u>Instructions for Authors</u></b><br>
Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers of
up to 6 pages, strictly following the IEEE Proceedings
Templates. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and
prospective authors are expected to present their papers
at the conference. The papers that are accepted and
presented at the conference will appear in conference
proceedings and will be submitted for IEEE. At least one
author of each accepted submission must attend the
workshop and that every workshop participant must register
and present the paper. Please submit your paper in PDF
format via the electronic submission system<br>
<br>
Please send any inquiry on FSC 2018 to Emerging Tech.
