To this end, a Workshop on "SDN for Future Networks and Services" (SDN4FNS'13) was organized in Trento, Italy (Nov. 11th-13th 2013). Following the results of the workshop, in this paper, we have further analyzed scenarios, prior-art, state of standardization, and further discussed the main technical challenges and socio-economic aspects of SDN and virtualization in future networks and services. A number of research and development directions have been identified in this white paper, along with a comprehensive analysis of the technical feasibility and business availability of those fundamental technologies. A radical industry transition towards the "economy of information through softwarization" is expected in the near future. date: 2014-01-29 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: http://sites.ieee.org/sdn4fns/whitepaper/ oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1535730 lyricists_name: Galis, Alexandru lyricists_id: AGALI91 actors_name: Galis, Alexandru actors_id: AGALI91 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: IEEE SDN Initiative White Paper place_of_pub: New York, NY, USA pagerange: 1-17 pages: 17 citation: Manzalini, A; Saracco, R; Buyukkoc, C; Chemouil, P; Kukliński, S; Gladisch, A; Fukui, M; ...
