Discipline Convergence in Networked Systems (Dagstuhl Seminar 18261)

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18261 "Discipline Convergence in Networked Systems". This seminar explored emerging networked system design approaches, seeking to increase performance, efficiency and security through the convergence of disciplines: compute, storage and networking. With technologies such as network function virtualization (NFV) having started the convergence of computing technologies and networking technologies, this seminar discussed new research directions to embrace the convergence of disciplines that used to be mainly isolated in the past
