Agenda Item	Session Name / Paper Title / Authors
9:00–9:15	Opening of Conference (by General Chairs)
9:15–10:15	Structure and Design of Software-Defined Networks
	Rising Star Award Winner Keynote by Teemu Koponen, Nicira
	In this talk, I will review lessons learned over the past 5 years from developing and deploying Software-Defined Networks (SDN). While many of the original assumptions of SDN have turned out to be less relevant than expected, SDN continues to hold its promise for changing the networks as we know them. I argue the change will not materialize through any individual improvement, new feature, or mechanism but through new abstractions and structures further refining our understanding of network architectures. I will discuss two practically proven examples of such new abstractions and structures – network fabrics and network virtualization – and how they together with software forwarding can help to reorganize functionality within networks, making future networks flexible, evolvable and simple to manage.
