Software Defined Infrastructures consists of fully virtualised compute, networking, storage and other resources are abstracted away from the underlying physical infrastructure through software, such as Software Defined Data Centre. This allows policy-based infrastructure provisioning and enables IT automation. Software-defined infrastructure is not tied to specific hardware and can operate without or with little human involvement. This paradigm fully integrated and automated IT functions and resources. Software Defined Data Centre combines can be a result of a combination of all software defined technologies, such as SDN, SDStore, SDCompute, SDSec etc, otherwise called Software Defined Everything. Cloud computing is one major factor driving the growth of software defined everything.

The International workshop for Software Defined Everything (SDE2021) is calls for contributors to present and discuss the most recent research results, innovations, trends, and concerns in the fields the new emerging opportunity of Software Defined Everything.

The topics of the workshop include but not limited to:
Trends in SDE, theories, applications and trends
SDE Markets
Security in SDE
Software defined data centre
Software defined infrastructures
Software defined IOT/Edge
Software Defined – Centralized Vs Decentralized infrastructure
