Abstrcat: Future networked applications pose very high requirements on performance, real-time behavior, and correctness. They must connect a potentially very high number of participants who interact with the application and with each other in real time, i.e., response to actions must happen virtually immediately. Challenging examples are multiplayer online computer games, advanced simulation-based e-learning, and real-time data mining. All these applications are characterized also by strict Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements, including short response times to user inputs, frequent state updates, large and frequently changing numbers of users in a single application instance. This talk will specifically address the application development process by developing a high-level design approach for challenging networked applications using modern technologies of Cloud computing and Software-Defined Networking (SDN).
