CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on "Advances in Management of Softwarized Networks"
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management (indexed in Web of
Science - Thomson Reuters)
-- http://www.comsoc.org/tnsm/cfp/si-amsn --
* Paper submission date: March 1, 2017
* Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2017
* Publication date: December 1, 2017 (*)
(*) the online published version will be available with final DOI in
IEEE Xplore as soon as the camera ready version has been submitted.
The softwarization of networks is enabled by the SDN (Software Defined
Networking), NV (Network Virtualization), and NFV (Network Function
Virtualization) paradigms and offers many advantages for network
operators, service providers and datacenter providers. Given the strong
interest in both industry and academia in the softwarization of
telecommunication networks and cloud computing infrastructures, this
special issue aims at the timely publication of recent innovative
research results on this important topic.
In an earlier special issue on this topic in IEEE Transactions on
Network and Service Management, published in September 2016, the main
reported research contributions were: SDN control planes optimizations,
improvements of OpenFlow network traffic balancing and resilience, SDN
traffic management optimizations, novel virtual network embedding
algorithms, including algorithms for reliable embedding, efficient NFV
resource management and advanced platforms for management of softwarized
network systems. There are many more interesting challenges currently
being addressed by the research community, which aim at efficient
management of softwarized networks and the ability to use them to their
full potential.
We welcome submissions addressing the important challenges (cfr. the
non-exhaustive list of topics below) and presenting novel research or
experimentation results. Survey papers that offer an original
perspective on related work and identify key challenges for future
research in a novel area will be considered as well.
We look forward to your submissions!
Topics of interest for this special issue, include, but are not limited
to the following:
- Design of architectural building blocks for managing virtualized
software-defined systems
- Management of SDIs (Software-Defined Infrastructures)
- Resource management for SDN or NFV-based systems
- Real-time management of softwarized networks
- SDN control planes optimizations
- Security management for SDN and NFV-based systems
- Network Softwarization for 5G
- Wireless Software Defined Networks
- Softwarized edge cloud and fog computing infrastructures
- Management and control of service function chains (SFCs)
- Composition algorithms and automated deployment for SFCs
- Algorithms for efficient orchestration
- Dynamic migration of network functions in NFV-based systems
- Management of software-defined datacenters
- Efficient network and service monitoring for SDN or NFV
- Data analytics for softwarized network and service management
- Automated configuration and repair of virtualized software-defined systems
- Algorithms for diagnosis and correlation of events in SDN or NFV-based
systems
- Availability and resilience of virtualized software-defined systems
- Protection and restoration in SDN/NFV Networks
- Dynamic resource scaling based on user mobility in SDN and NFV-based
systems
- Management of federated SDN/NFV infrastructures
- Policy based management in SDN or NFV systems
- Debugging and introspection of software-defined virtualized systems
- Detailed experience reports from experimental testbeds
- Transition strategies from existing networks to SDN/NFV
Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation,
relevance and contribution to the field of management of
software-defined virtualized systems, as well as their overall quality
and suitability for the special issue. The submitted papers must be
written in a good English and describe original research which has not
been published nor currently under review by other journals or
conferences. Previously published conference papers should be clearly
identified by the authors at the initial submission stage and an
explanation should be provided of how such papers have been extended in
order to be considered for this special issue.
**Submission guidelines**
All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted
through the IEEE ManuscriptCentral service located at:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tnsm
Authors must indicate in the submission cover letter that their
manuscript is intended for the "Advances in Management of Softwarized
Networks" special issue.
We are looking forward to your submissions!
