4. The proposed target is to create a document on the TF subject that could be used to formalize the TF discussion and its results and that will be presented openly. It will be the basis for a formal scientific paper Additional elements: Create a forum for networking on R&D project preparation (H2020, Eureka’s..) on the subject. Promote and Follow up on STSM on the subject. 1 Objectives:

5. White Paper: We should be careful in how the White Paper is setup, because there are several very good overview and introductory style SDN papers out. So which gap do we address.? IG Split As it is a very wide field it is Proposed to Split into following areas: Integrated View, Architecture South Bound environment North Bound environment Security 1 Issues:

6. Work possibilities: Network softwarisation as network function virtualization. (software based load balancer, firewall, etc) Software Emulation of Network (as in mininet). Network elements abstractions and interaction modelling 1 Issues:

7. Network Management Functions, Dash Board, Recommenders. Learning capabilities in SDN in connection to WG 13 results and that will be presented. It will be the basis for a formal scientific paper Additional elements: Create a forum for networking on R&D project preparation (H2020, Eureka’s..) on the subject. Promote and Follow up on STSM on the subject. 1 Issues:

8. 1 Softwarisation of network : Using sdn for dynamic complex service chain creation (TF 3), and to address technical challenges of reliable composite service chains, investigate restructuring performance and reliability, threads to consider to avoid faults, develop checklist and collect experiences, issues that should be implemented into tools and technologies used for automatic service creation. Network defense mechanisms, tools, technologies in case of bad quality/performance of service chains, adequacy of existing programming languages, formalisms.

9. 1 Issues: SDN additional Security risks In connection with TF2 Cross-layer QoE management and IG’s oTo address those aspects of QoE, where SDN presents a significant benefit. :Context-based QoE monitoring: Dynamic adaptive video streaming, service- specific QoE estimation models for SDN,A cross-layer QoE management, Time-aware applications, QoE in mobile networks. oA service-specific QoE estimation models for SDN.
