Abstract

Recent advances in technologies aimed at secure private networks, the fifth generation of telecommunication (5G) and the Internet of Things (IoT), computer networks have witnessed changes in usage profiles unexpectedly with adverse requirements, such as low latency, secure flow or high resilience at any time. Such changes, when applied over programmable networks, may involve modifications to the network software developed (\eg P4). Software Engineering techniques can be applied to improve/ enhance/optimize the development of network software, especially when changes in the network profile occur. In this case, the PROFISSA project is proposed to investigate, map and advance the use of Software Engineering techniques when applied to programmable networks in order to improve the structural and functional quality and the process of developing network programs. The project will provide a modular and reusable code framework for network programs developed with good development practices. In addition, the network programs developed in the project will be executed in real environments of programmable networks implemented on a testbed for the development and analysis of network software. To this end, the integration between RNP and the FABRIC project is sought, to create real programmable network environments of the latest generation, taking into account, for example, the use of programmability in the data plan with the use of devices that support P4.
