***AIMS AND SCOPE***

IEEE NetSoft, the premier International Conference on Network
Softwarization, addresses the advanced research challenges and opportunities
raised by the overall transformation trend of network softwarization,
which has been revolutionizing the networking field and has accelerated its
convergence with adjacent industries.

Network Softwarization refers to the transition of traditional network
infrastructure and functionalities, provided via hardware appliances
developed by equipment and service vendors, to new ones that have been
propelled over the last 15 years by the maturity of widespread technologies
such as network function virtualization, software-defined networking, and
service function chaining.

In particular, the ability to program, manage and operate network and
service infrastructures more freely makes it possible to reinvent network
and cloud architectures, customize services, accelerate service deployment,
and facilitate greater operational efficiencies with guarantees. The need
for further advances in these topics is reflected in the overall theme of
NetSoft 2023: Boosting Future Networks through Advanced Softwarization.

NetSoft 2023 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. This year, a PhD symposium will also be initiated.

***TOPICS OF INTEREST***

The conference is soliciting paper submissions with significant research
contributions to the field of network softwarization. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

-Softwarized cloud, fog, and edge infrastructures

-Network softwarization for 5G/6G

-Softwarization in Metaverse (AR/VR and digital twins)

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

-Future Internet and New IP architectures.

-Mobility management in softwarized networks.

-High-precision communications and computing

-Service Function Chaining (SFC).

-Network slicing and slice management

-QoS and QoE in softwarized infrastructures.

-Network softwarization for deterministic Internet re-engineering

-Softwarization for Cognitive and autonomic networking

-Policy-based and Intent-based networking.

-AI/ML techniques and network softwarization

-Dynamic resource discovery and negotiation schemes.

-Assurance and Measurements in softwarized networks

-Resilience, reliability, and robustness of softwarized networks

-Security, Safety, Trust, and Privacy in virtualized environments.

-Energy Efficiency in network softwarization

-Abstractions and virtualization of resources, services, and functions.

-Programmability for Time-Sensitive Networks (TSN)

-Programmable Networking Protocols

-Programmable SDN and NFV: languages and architectures (P4 and others)

-Open source and network softwarization.

-Hardware acceleration for programmable network functions.

-Development methodologies for network softwarization (DevOps, NetOps,
Verification).

-Deployment and transition strategies.

-Experience reports from experimental testbeds and deployments.

-New value chains and service models enabled by softwarization.

-Socio-economic impact and regulations for softwarization.

***PAPER SUBMISSION***

Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality original technical
papers for presentation at the conference and publication in the NetSoft
2023 Proceedings. 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.

Technical Papers can be of two types: Full or Short papers, up to 9 and 5
pages respectively, including references and all other material. If
accepted, a paper will be published in the category (long/short) of its
submission. Long papers are the more traditional form to present technical
work. Long papers should emphasize not only novelty and vision, but
execution and thoroughness of the contribution (design, evaluation). Short
papers are the preferred vehicle for visionary papers or traditional
technical papers whose description fits within a smaller number of pages.
Short papers may not yet be fully baked in terms of execution and
evaluation. In both Full and Short papers, author names and affiliations
should be included after the title, as provided in the templates.

Papers submitted should describe original, previously unpublished research
results, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Papers
not meeting the length and formatting requirements or violating IEEEs
guidelines on plagiarized content will be rejected without review. All other
submitted papers will be reviewed. Selected papers for NetSoft 2023 may be
conditionally accepted and subjected to shepherding before final acceptance.

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all manuscripts
must be electronically submitted through EDAS: https://edas.info/N30268.

More specifically:

Long paper: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=30268
<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=30268&track=114929> &track=114929.

Short paper: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=30268
<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=30268&track=114797> &track=114797.

Important: NetSoft 2023 is enforcing a strict publication and no-show policy
as stated by IEEE. By submitting a contribution, you agree with the terms of
the publication and no-show policy.
