The 4th IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2018)
will be held on June 25-29, 2018 at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.
IEEE NetSoft has been created as a flagship conference aiming at addressing
"Softwarization" of networks and systemic trends concerning the convergence
of Cloud Computing, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and Network Function
Virtualization (NFV). IEEE Netsoft is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE
Communications Society and the IEEE Computer Society.
Scope
-----
The telecommunications landscape is expected to change radically in the next
few years. Pervasive ultra-broadband, programmable networks, and cost reduction
of IT systems are paving the way to new services and commoditization of
telecommunications infrastructure while lowering entrance barriers for new players
and giving rise to new value chains. While this results in considerable challenges
for service providers, this transformation also brings unprecedented opportunities
for the Digital Society and the Digital Economy related to emerging new services
and applications. Examples include Tactile Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Cloud
Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence. 5G will both accelerate and exploit this huge
transformation, and as such, smart networking with embedded AI techniques leveraging
NFV and SDN becomes essential. This will be made possible through the exploitation
of massive network data with analytic tools and machine learning, allowing
for proactive management of softwarized infrastructures.
This trend will be reflected in NetSoft 2018 in the various topics of interest under
the theme "Achieving smart network softwarization" and the conference will serve as
a forum to discuss the latest advances in this area.
Topics of interest
------------------
NetSoft 2018 will feature technical paper presentations, keynotes, tutorials, demos
and exhibitions from world-leading experts representing service providers, vendors,
research institutes, open source projects, and academia. Additionally, topical work-
shops will be co-located so various call for proposals are issued. The topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Programmable SDN and NFV
- Softwarized cloud, fog, and edge infrastructures
- Cognitive and autonomic networking
- Network slicing and slice management
- Policy-Based Networking and Intent-Based Networking in Software-Defined
Infrastructures
- Centralized vs Distributed control, management & orchestration
- Abstractions and virtualization of resources, services, and functions
- Service function chaining
- Container/microservice-based network functions
- Real-time operations and efficient network/service monitoring in SDN/NFV
- Analytics and big data approaches for managing softwarized networks
- QoS and QoE in softwarized infrastructures
- Resilience, reliability, and robustness of softwarized networks
- Mobility/Security/Safety/Trust support in virtualized environments
- SDN switch/router architecture and design
- APIs, protocols, and languages for programmable networks
- Lifecycle management of network software
- Debugging and introspection of software-defined virtualized systems
- Transition strategies from existing networks to SDN/NFV
- Softwarized platforms for Internet of Things (IoT)
- New service models and paradigms enabled by softwarization
- New value chains and business models
- Socio-economic impact and regulatory implications for softwarization
- Energy efficient and green SDI
- Experience reports from experimental testbeds and deployments
Call for Submissions
--------------------
This trend will be reflected in NetSoft 2018 in the various topics of interest under
