Call for Papers
IEEE NetSoft 2020
The 6th IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization
"Bridging the gap between AI and Network Softwarization"
June 29 - July 3, 2020, Ghent, Belgium
http://ieee-netsoft.org
****************************************************************************
****
The 6th IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft
2020)
will be held from June 29 to July 3, 2020 in the historic city of
Ghent
in Belgium. IEEE NetSoft has been created as a flagship conference
aiming
at addressing softwarization of networks and systemic trends raised
by
the convergence of Cloud Computing, Software-Defined Networking
(SDN)
and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), leading to a significant
evolution
of networks and services.
*** Scope ***
*************
Over the last few years, software has become the core value provider in
the
telecommunications industry. Boosted by scientific breakthrough,
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 pave the way for the next big step toward full network automation,
with
unprecedented capabilities offered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), NetSoft
2020
will serve as a forum to discuss the latest advances in network
softwarization
technologies, AI-based software-defined networks, autonomic networking,
policy-
based network management, network slicing, and other related research areas
that
are anticipated to radically transform todayĆs networks. The need for
further
advances in these topics is reflected in the overall theme of NetSoft
2020:
"Bridging the gap between AI and Network Softwarization".
NetSoft 2020 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 ***

*** Paper Submissions ***
*************************
Authors are invited to submit original English-written contributions in
PDF
format. Only original papers not published or submitted for
publication
elsewhere can be submitted. Papers can be of two types: full (up to 9
pages)
or short (up to 5 pages) papers. Full Papers accepted as short Papers
will be
required to be reduced to 5 pages.
Papers should be in IEEE 2-column US-Letter style using IEEE Conference
template
(see https://goo.gl/osSfEF). Only PDF files will be accepted for the
review
process and all manuscripts must be electronically submitted
through
EDAS: https://edas.info/N26524
Papers exceeding these limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized
papers
will be rejected without further review. All submitted papers will be
subject
to a peer-review process. At least one author of each accepted paper is
required
to register to the NetSoft 2020 main conference to have their paper
published
in the conference proceedings. The paper must be presented at the
conference
by one author to be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore.
Important: NetSoft 2020 is enforcing a strict publication and no-show
policy as
stated by IEEE. Please check details on the NetSoft 2020 website.
More details about submissions are available at

*** Important dates ***
***********************
- Paper submission deadline: January 6, 2020 (firm deadline)
- Acceptance notification: March 9, 2020
- Camera-ready Papers: April 6, 2020
Please register your paper at your earliest convenience on EDAS.
