The First IEEE international workshop on Software Defined Networks and
Network Function Virtualization (SDN-NFV 2017)

In conjunction with The 4th IEEE International Conference on Software
Defined Systems (SDS-2017)

Valencia, Spain. May 8-11, 2017

Call For Papers:

The emerging networking techniques such as Software Defined Network (SDN)
and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are promising a complete paradigm
shift in how we manage our future networks. With their enormous benefits
which include reducing the operational cost, better resources utilization
and easier management requirements, the adoption of such technologies is
gaining momentum. Supported by a well-defined basis such as network
virtualization and the decoupling of the data and control planes, the
integration of SDN and NFV with current systems might be a straightforward
process. However, this might incur many challenges which require deep
analysis to propose creative solutions. In the (SDN-NFV 2017) workshop, we
are aiming to invite researchers from both the academia and the industry to
present their state of the art research efforts and findings and to open
the doors for discussion about how to contribute of the advancement of this
important research field.The First IEEE International workshop on Software
Defined Network and Network Function Virtualization (SDN-NFV) will be a
forum for scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to present
their latest research results, ideas, developments, and applications in the
areas of SDN, NFV, 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Computing . We are
mainly interested in receiving state of the art work on different aspect of
SDN and NFV management system, security and privacy, cloud computing and
big data supported SDN and NFV, to mention but few.

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

   - Software Defined Network (SDN) Architectures and Design
   - Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Architectures and Design
   - SDN-NFV Integration
   - SDN-NFV Orchestration
   - SDN-NFV Based Control plane design
   - SDN-NFV Based Data plane design
   - SDN-NFV Performance Management
   - SDN-NFV support for Cloud based DataCenter
   - SDN-NFV support for 5G Networks
   - SDN-NFV support for Internet of Things (IoT)
   - SDN-NFV support for Big Data Computing
   - SDN-NFV support for large scale storage system
   - Hardware system design for SDN-NFV
   - SDN-NFV Security management
   - Radio Access Network virtualization
   - SDN-NFV in access networks
   - Edge and Fog Computing
   - Cloud Computing
   - Case studies
