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 net-
working, and service function chaining. In particular, the ability to
program, manage,
and operate network and service infrastructures more freely makes it
possible to re-
invent network &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 2024:
"Sustainable Softwarized Networks in the Age of Generative AI".
NetSoft 2024 will feature technical paper presentations, keynotes, panels,
tutorials,
workshops, demos, posters, and exhibitions from world-leading experts
representing
service providers, vendors, research institutes, open-source projects, and
academia.
***TOPICS OF INTEREST***
The conference is soliciting paper submissions with significant research
contributions
to network softwarization. The topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* Network slicing and slice management
* Service Function Chaining (SFC)
* AI/ML techniques and network softwarization
* Applications for Generative AI in softwarized networks
* Softwarization in eXtended Reality (AR/VR/ER and digital twins)
* Cooperative multi-domain, multi-tenant SDN/NFV environments
* Future Internet and New IP architectures
* Sustainability in softwarized network
* High-precision communications and computing
* Network softwarization for 5G/6G
* 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
* 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
* Sustainability, energy efficiency, and carbon emissions in network
softwarization
* Abstractions and virtualization of resources, services, and functions
* 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 2024
Proceedings. All
submissions must be written in English and must use the 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 res-
pectively, 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 for presenting 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 tradi-
tional 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 IEEE's guidelines on
plagiarized
content will be rejected without review. All other papers will be reviewed.
Selected
papers for NetSoft 2024 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/N31395.
More specifically:
* Long paper: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=31395
<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=31395&track=119976> &track=119976
* Short paper: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=31395
<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=31395&track=119977> &track=119977
Important: NetSoft 2024 is enforcing a strict publication & no-show policy
as stated
by IEEE. By submitting a contribution, you agree with the terms of the
publication
and no-show policy.
