The main outcome for SmartenIT is considered very positive, since the SmartenIT initiated and finally co-organized session on “Cloud Federations and SDN/NFV: The Highways toward Improved QoE, Cost, and Energy Efficiency” (Co-organizers: Alexander Willner, Technische Universität Berlin (TUB), Germany, George D. Stamoulis, Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), Greece, Roman Łapacz, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC), Poland) has seen more than 75 attendees in the audience, short panelists’ statements, and an interesting panel afterwards. Burkhard Stiller, University of Zürich (UZH), Switzerland, SmartenIT’s coordinator, represented the STREP SmartenIT as well the NoE FLAMINGO during the panel especially on traffic management impacts for SDN, accounting, regulatory, and privacy-related facets, and possible technological alternatives to develop and support cost- and energy-efficient and QoE-aware cloud federations. As such many informal exchanges of work, ideas, and solutions emphasized the liaison activities of SmartenIT.
