Limitations that vary between reliability, resource<br>utilization, and high costs are challenging. The era of Cloud Computing represents a promise<br>to overcome the aforementioned challenge, and provide for scalable services.<br><br><br>The computing platforms of such Cloud-Service DCNs consist of large number of commodity servers that, with<br>a theme of virtualization on top, can meet the reliability and performance of the expensive<br>high-level servers at only a fraction of the price.<br><br>Recently, the research in virtual DCNs started to evolve rapidly. Being virtual networks,<br>this opened the path for the concept of network migration. Indeed, virtual DCNs<br>can migrate from one physical location to another for many reasons starting<br>from power requirements to resource availability. Now, when considering the<br>idea of migration, many factors need to be taken into account in order to find<br>the appropriate place that satisfies the requirements of the migrating network<br>while not affecting the hosting ones.<b><br><br>Topics of interest include but are not limited to</b><br> <br>- Cloud-service data-center networks. <br>- Theoretical analysis for data-center networks. <br>- Physical data-center network migration. <br>- Virtual Data-center networks. <br>- Migrating cloud-service data-center network. <br>- Optimal data-center networks' architecture. <br>- Intra and Inter network traffic engineering in data-center networks. <br>- Software Defined Networks and virtual networking devices. <br>- Analysis of the cloud network systems. <br>- Addressing and load-balancing in cloud-service data-center networks. <br><br><b>Proceeding</b><br><br>All papers accepted for workshops will be <b>included in the FNC-2015 proceedings</b>, which will be <b>published by Elsevier</b><br>Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series.
