  • About CCF Ranking: The Chinese Computing Federation (CCF) Ranking provides a ranking of peer-reviewed journals and conferences in the field of computer science.

  • About Core Ranking: The CORE Conference Ranking is a measure to assess the major conference in the computing field. This ranking is governed by the CORE Executive Committee. To know more about Core ranking, visit Core ranking portal.

  • About Qualis Ranking: This conference ranking is published by the Brazilian ministry of education. It uses the h-index as a performance metric to rank conferences. Conferences are classified into performance groups that range from A1 (to the best), A2, B1, B2,..., B5 (to the wost). To know more about qualis ranking, visit here

We are working hard to collect and update the acceptance rate details of the conferences for recent years. However, you can consider the above (if available) acceptance rates to predict the average chances of acceptance of your research paper at this conference.



Conference Call for paper


More than 10 years have now elapsed since the beginning of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Over the course of a decade, SDN has fueled incredible innovation, revolutionizing virtually all networking areas. SDN is now deployed in a growing number of production and experimental settings, including data centers, enterprise networks, content providers, and Internet Service Providers.At its core, SDN is all about making programming networks as easy as programming computers. Through programming interfaces and programmable substrates, SDN enables specifying and provisioning network-wide forwarding behaviors, as well as adapting how the network hardware itself forwards traffic. SDN has enabled more flexible and predictable network control, made it easier to extend the network with new functionality, and made it possible to verify the correctness of networking behaviors.The Symposium on SDN Research (SOSR) is the premiere venue for research publications on SDN, building on past years' successful SOSR and HotSDN (Hot Topics in Software Defined Networking) workshops. Similar to previous years, SOSR will be held at same time as the Open Networking Summit (ONS).We invite researchers and practitioners to submit both long and short previously unpublished papers, choosing the length appropriate to the level of completeness and detail in the work. We particularly encourage position papers, radical ideas, and papers on real applications and experiences of SDN.We invite submissions on a wide range of research, including, but not limited to:
Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, backbone, and content distribution networks, etc.
Applications of SDN to network management, monitoring, security, etc.
Applications of SDN to Internet of Things (IoT), content-centric networking, computational workflows, etc.
Applications of SDN at the physical layer (e.g., programmable topologies, bandwidth variable links, optical networks)
Virtualized network functions (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers)
Network virtualization
White-box and bare-metal switching
Novel data-plane architectures
Novel offload and acceleration techniques to support SDN operations (e.g. using smart NICs, switch dev, FPGA and kernel or network stack bypass)
Programming languages, verification and testing techniques
Incremental deployment of SDN into operational networks along with experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks
Novel techniques for improving the security, reliability, performance, and scalability of SDN architectures In addition to traditional research papers, we also seek papers that present:
The design and applications of useful SDN tools
Surveys of important SDN concepts, techniques, and standards
Technical overviews of larger research projects, production systems, and use cases
Open-source benchmark suites or measurement data for evaluating SDN systems Submission InstructionsSubmissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Each submission must be a single PDF file in two ­columns, 10­ point format following the sigconf format of the 2017 ACM Master Article LaTeX Template. Use the sample latex file sample-sigconf.tex. Submitted short papers should be no longer than six (6) pages, and long papers no longer than twelve (12) pages, including all material except references. SOSR '19 is double-blind, meaning that authors should make a good faith effort to anonymize papers. Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission site.Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. We stress that the publication of short papers at SOSR does not preclude the later publication of a full-­length version of the paper at a conference or in a journal. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the symposium and will have the opportunity to present a poster/demo at an interactive session, co-­located with ONS.Please direct any submission-related questions to [email protected].

Submission Deadline


SOSR 2019: The Symposium on SDN Research submission deadline is 2018-11-08.

Note: It is generally recommended to submit your conference paper on or before the submission deadline. Generally, conferences do not encourage to submit the research paper after the deadline is over. In rare scenarios, conferences extend their deadline. Decision about the extension of the deadline is generally updated on the official conference webpage.


Notification date


Notification date of SOSR 2019: The Symposium on SDN Research is 2019-01-15.

Note: This is the date on which conference announces the result about acceptance or rejection of submitted papers. If your research paper is accepted, the conference will request you to submit the camera ready version of your research paper by the due date. Due date to submit the camera ready version of the paper is generally posted on the official web page of the conferences or notified to you via. email.


Conference Date


SOSR 2019: The Symposium on SDN Research will start on 2019-04-03.

Note: This is the date on which the conference starts.


Conference Location


SOSR 2019: The Symposium on SDN Research will be organized at San Jose, California, USA. This is the place where the conference is organized and the research paper is to be presented.
