CyberC (International Conference on Cyber-enabled distributed computing and knowledge discovery) is an international conference on cyber-enabled technology. It covers cyber-networks, data mining, cyber security, distributed computing, mobile computing, cognitive computing, cloud computing, computing tools, applications, and system performance. CyberC offers a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative ideas, research results, applications, and experience for network-enabled distributed computing and knowledge discovery technologies. The Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) provide the ability to decouple the network functions from the underlying physical infrastructure. Specifically, SDN allows the capability to manage network services through the abstraction of lower-level functionality. On the other hand, NFV can virtualize the entire classes of network node functions into a number of building blocks that could be connected for communication services. As a result, SDN & NFV enables rapid networks and services innovation for all participants. This is different than the traditional telecommunications industry that follows rigorous standards for stability, protocol adherence and quality, which leads to a long production cycles and slow pace of evolution.
