            <p class="lead">The 12th IEEE International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2025).</p>

            <p>
              The International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2025) invites researchers, practitioners,
              and industry experts to submit their innovative research contributions and practical experiences in the
              rapidly evolving field of software-defined systems and the broader concept of softwarization. As we
              transition towards more dynamic and flexible IT infrastructures, softwarization—the process of shifting
              traditional hardware functionalities into software—plays a critical role in enabling unprecedented levels
              of efficiency, scalability, and automation. SDS-2025 aims to be a premier platform for the exchange of
              ideas and advancements in software-defined systems and softwarization, covering a wide range of topics
              from foundational theories to practical implementations. The conference will explore the latest trends and
              challenges in software-defined networking (SDN), software-defined storage (SDS), software-defined data
              centers (SDDC), and beyond. It will also address the integration of these systems with emerging
              technologies such as edge computing, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). We encourage
              submissions that present original research, case studies, best practices, and future directions in the
              following areas, but not limited to.</p>
