The IEEE NFV-SDN conference invites researchers from around the world to share ideas influencing the evolution and operation of NFV and SDN technologies. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics:
NFV and SDN Architectures, Infrastructure and Elements - Emerging improvements including Network Slicing and the unikernel paradigm - Impact of “open X” - Improvements in design of forwarding elements, e.g., switches/routers, wireless systems - Optimizing NFV infrastructures including hardware acceleration technologies - Heterogeneous server platforms and the detailed element-level CPU/GPU/FPGA mapping of NFV functions - SDN/NFV in recent and novel architecture paradigms such as Edge, Fog etc. NFV and SDN Operation - Dynamic license management, autonomics, machine learning, monitoring, resiliency, fault management and self-healing - Network security and isolation impacts of virtualization technologies - Advanced tools for automated design, deployment, validation, and management - Application of machine learning and big data analytics to manage to simplify deployment and operation of SDN/NFV networks Performance Analysis and Optimization - Costs of migration of application containers and workloads - Data/control plane performance, interoperability, and scalability studies - Resource dimensioning and optimization (e.g., cloud-native design), workload isolation and tradeoffs - Design guidelines for modularity, scalability, high availability and interoperability (e.g., container and micro services implementations) Results and Evaluations in Application Scenarios - Comparative studies on different virtualization technologies - Usage scenarios such as SD-WAN, IoT, Smart Grid, Smart Cities, etc. - Improvements in future communication infrastructure enabled by SDN and NFV including fixed and wireless access, public, private and hybrid clouds - Social and regulatory impacts (e.g., network implications of data location and privacy) |
