Objectives
The spirit of the PhD symposium is to offer an opportunity for students,
currently performing a PhD in the scientific scope of the Netsoft
conference, as specified in the call for papers, to present the advancement
of their research work and collect tailored feedback from experts of the
Netsoft community. As such, expected submissions must be issued by ongoing
or very recently defended PhD students. The PhD symposium clearly expects
submissions which summarize the PhD scientific activities at a given
advancement stage. As such, they must not overlap with traditional
scientific papers presented as long or short papers in conferences and
workshops.
Since the relevant scientific aspects evolve according to a PhD advancement,
two types of submissions are considered in the PhD symposium, as described
below.
Early Stage PhD
Expected contribution: Early stage PhD submissions are welcome with papers
describing the general context of the PhD activity and the locks it aims at
eventually overcoming. A synthetic but comprehensive state of the art of the
field must be provided and the limits of current scientific contributions
must be especially emphasized so that to formulate one or a few research
questions which form the core of the PhD problem statement. Finally, the
selected research methodology and some early ideas, even neither implemented
nor validated, can be exposed. Finally, a general view of the work lying
ahead has to be provided too.
Eligibility: The Early Stage paper format is dedicated to the 1st year PhD
students or early 2nd year PhD students who are starting to elaborate their
first research contributions.
Paper format: Submitted papers should not exceed four (4) pages in length,
including references.
Late Stage PhD
Expected contribution: Late Stage submissions aim at providing an overview
of the accomplished PhD work from a methodological perspective. More
specifically, it must provide an up-to-date state of the art that pinpoints
some limits motivating the contribution further exposed. Then, the current
status of the research work with a particular emphasis on the selected
methodology is expected and a comparison with the state of the art can be
provided when relevant and achievable. Finally, according to the PhD
advancement, the planned or implemented evaluation methodology and to what
extent the latter supports reproducibility of research (sharing data sets,
codes, etc.) have to be exposed. For PhD students who have already
graduated, the PhD outcomes and the way they push forward the initial
limits, as well as their current limits, is particularly expected.
Please note that late stage submissions must not overlap with standard
scientific papers focused on a standalone scientific contribution as
presented in long or short papers of conferences and workshops, such as
Netsoft and beyond.
Eligibility: Late Stage submissions target ending PhD students or those who
recently graduated, which is roughly from the beginning of the PhD
manuscript writing up to 6 months after the defense. The Late Stage format
is also open to ongoing PhD (i.e. 2nd year) if the submitted content
satisfies with the expectations exposed above.
Paper format: Submitted papers should not exceed six (6) pages in length,
including references.
General Eligibility
As PhD symposium differs from standard scientific tracks, and solely targets
ongoing or very recently defended PhD, some eligibility assessment must be
satisfied for submissions to be considered:
- The list of authors is restricted to the PhD student and the supervisor.
In the case where more than one advisor is involved in the PhD, thus leading
to several authors in addition to the PhD student, the PhD symposium chairs
must be informed and any official assessment must be provided.
- PhD students of accepted PhD symposium papers must register to Netsoft
2023 and they are the sole person able to present their work during the
event.
- An official letter from the PhD advisor(s) is required to state the PhD
status (beginning for Early Stage, ending with PhD defense date (expected or
achieved) for Late Stage).
General Submission Guidelines
Two tracks are available for submission: one for Early Stage PhD
submissions, and one for Late Stage PhD submissions. In both tracks, PhD
students have to submit two files: the manuscript and the letter of their
supervisor to prove their status as a PhD student. Manuscripts must be
written in English and formatted according to the standard IEEE
double-column conference template (10-point font). Templates and examples in
LaTeX and Microsoft Word are available for download at:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Papers not matching the length and formatting requirements or violating
IEEE's guidelines on plagiarized content will be rejected without review.
All other submitted papers will be reviewed. Only PDF files will be accepted
for the review process and all manuscripts must be electronically submitted
through EDAS using the following link: https://edas.info/N30396.
Accepted submissions are published in the conference proceedings and
submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, provided that they are duly
presented.
Topics of Interest
The symposium solicits submissions in the same field of the main conference.
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
