Call for Papers
IEEE NetSoft 2021
The 7th IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization
"Accelerating Network Softwarization in the Cognitive Age"
June 28 - July 2, 2021, Tokyo, Japan
http://ieee-netsoft.org
****************************************************************************
****
***Important Dates***
Paper submission deadline: ***January 15, 2020***
Acceptance notification: March 8, 2021
Camera-ready paper: April 11, 2021
***Scope***
Over the years, software has become the core value provider in the
telecommuni-
cations industry. Boosted by scientific breakthroughs, continuous innovation
and
stringent requirements for new services, network softwarization is
currently
transforming telecommunications and networking industry and is bringing
several
opportunities, while raising new challenges from both conceptual and
operational
perspectives.
To move ahead, cognitive network softwarization, NetSoft 2021 will serve
as a
forum to discuss the latest advances in network softwarization technologies,
AI-
based software-defined networks, a utonomic networking, intent/policy-based
net-
work management, network slicing, and other related research areas that
are
anticipated to radically transform today's networks.
The need for further advances in these topics is reflected in the overall
theme
of NetSoft 2021: "Accelerating Network Softwarization in the Cognitive Age".
NetSoft 2021 will feature technical paper presentations, keynotes,
tutorials,
workshops, demos and exhibitions from world-leading experts representing
service
providers, vendors, research institutes, open source projects, and academia.
***Topics of Interest***

- Socio-economic impact and regulations for softwarization
- Experience reports from experimental testbeds and deployments
***Paper Submission***
Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality original technical
papers
for presentation at the conference and publication in the Proceedings of
the
conference. All submissions must be written in English and must use
standard
IEEE two-column conference template that can be downloaded from
<https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html>
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Technical Papers can be of two types: Full papers or Short papers, up to 9
pages
and 5 pages respectively, including tables, figures and references. Full
papers
accepted as short papers will be required to be reduced to 5-pages length.
Papers submitted should describe original, and not previously published
research
results, not currently under review by another conference or journal. All
sub-
mitted papers will be peer-reviewed.
Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all manuscripts
must
be electronically submitted through EDAS: <https://edas.info/N27856>
https://edas.info/N27856
