Cloud Networking has emerged as a promising direction for cost-efficient and
reliable service delivery across data communication networks. The dynamic
location of  service  facilities  and the  virtualization of hardware and
software elements are  stressing the communication network and protocols,
especially when data centers are interconnected through the Internet.
Although the "computing" aspects of Cloud technologies have been largely
investigated, lower attention  has been devoted to the "networking" aspects.
The  3rd IEEE  International  Conference on Cloud Networking  (IEEE CloudNet
2014),  part  of  the  IEEE  Cloud  Computing Initiative, precisely
addresses these aspects.

Conference topics include (but are not limited to):

- Data Center Network Management, Reliability, Optimization
- Distributed Data Center Architectures and Services, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
- Energy-Efficient Datacenters and Networks
- Big Data Management
- Internet Routing of Cloud data
- Virtual Ethernet Switching, Data Center Bridging
- Cloud Traffic Characterization and Measurements
- Intra-Cloud vs Inter-Cloud Management
- Cloud Traffic Engineering and Control-Plane Architectures
- Green Data Centers and Cloud Networking
- Security, Privacy, and Confidentiality in Cloud Networking
- Virtualization of Network Equipment
- Unified User and Machine Mobility Management
- Data Flow Management and Load Balancing
- Mobile Cloud Networking
- Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
- Storage Area Networks, Optical Interconnect, Fiber Channels
- Content and Service Distribution
