****************************************************************************
****

Technically co-sponsored by IEEE, IEEE ComSoc and IEICE  

All accepted & presented  demo papers will be submitted  for publication in
IEEE 

Xplore.

 

NetSoft 2021 will be an hybrid conference allowing  for on-site
participation in 

Tokyo, Japan, and remote participation for those who might be unable to
travel.

 

Demo paper submission deadline: March 21, 2021

 

The 7th International Conference on Network Softwarization  (NetSoft 2021)
calls

for demonstration proposals  on research prototypes on softwarized networks
and 

5G systems. As a leading edge forum  for researchers and engineers  in the
field 

of  networking  software,  Software-Defined  Networking (SDN),  Network
Function 

Virtualization (NFV),  and 5G,  NetSoft 2021  offers a unique opportunity to
de-

monstrate  innovative and leading-edge  networking software  prototypes,
engage 

with highly-skilled technical audience,  and discuss  emerging technologies
with 

key  thought  leaders.  Demonstrations showcasing  working  systems,
innovative 

applications, ground  breaking ideas,  and novel concepts  related to
networking 

software are welcome.

 

 

*** Topics of interest ***

**************************

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

  * Softwarized cloud, fog, and edge infrastructures

  * Network softwarization for 5G

  * Network management at the edge

  * Cooperative multi-domain, multi-tenant SDN/NFV environments

  * Security, Safety, Trust and Privacy in virtualized environments

  * SDN switch/router architecture and design

  * Dynamic resource discovery and negotiation schemes

  * Lifecycle management of network software

  * DevOps methodologies for network softwarization

  * Debugging and introspection of software-defined systems

  * Softwarized platforms for Internet of Things (IoT)

  * Energy-efficient and green software-defined infrastructures (SDI)

*** Submission guidelines ***

*****************************

Prospective authors are invited to submit Demo proposals in the form of a
3-page 

paper  in IEEE conference  double-column format, preferably incorporating a
demo 

system architecture  illustration.  The proposal should also  describe in
detail 

what  NetSoft 2021 attendees will experience  during the demonstration. The
pro-

posal should provide the demo background and  further focus on the demo
settings 

and the application, possibly with visual outcomes  to highlight the
interest of 

the demo.

Authors are also encouraged to optionally include in the paper submission a
link 

that opens a quite short (1-3min) video illustrating the demo and its scope.

 

Demo papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS in PDF format
only: 

https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=27856
<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=27856&track=104072> &track=104072

 

Demo papers will be  peer-reviewed and  accepted demo papers will be
included in 

the digital conference proceedings provided  to NetSoft 2021 attendees  and
will 

be subsequently submitted to IEEE Xplore if presented.

 

At least one author of each accepted demo paper proposal is required to
register 

to NetSoft 2021 conference and present the demo at the scheduled demo
session.
