                       IEEE PVE-SDN 2019 Workshop

           on Approaches, Analyses, and Performance Issues in

      Virtualized Environments and Software Defined Networking (PVE-SDN)

                              June 24, 2019



    Colocated with IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2019)

===========================================================================



The emergence  of  software-defined networking (SDN)  and  network function

virtualization (NFV) as two pillars of a new networking paradigm has led to

design  and  deployment  of  elastic content- and service-delivery  virtual

networks on  cloud-based  data centres whose backbones consist of software-

defined substrate physical networks. This dynamic, multi-layer architecture

for  network functions introduces new challenges in maintaining performance

and quality of service  for  service  providers, and requires new ideas and

frameworks for performance measurement and network management.



This workshop aims  to  bring  together  academic and industry  researchers

from   software-defined  ecosystems  to  identify   and  discuss  technical

challenges, state of the art techniques, and  contemporary  results related

to performance analysis of SDN and NFV environments. It is supported by the

IEEE P1916.1 working group that was founded in December 2015  with the goal

of developing standards  for the performance requirements of  SDN/NFV-based

environments.



Submissions  are  welcome on a variety of  topics including but not limited

to:



- Performance models for virtualized environments

- Performance metrics in virtualized environments

- Performance measurement in virtualized environments

- Quality of Service and Quality of Experience in cloud-based networks

- Content  distribution  in  virtualized  environments and software-defined

networks

- Resource-aware virtualisation and infrastructure as a service

- Management of software-defined ecosystems

- Service provider requirements

- SDN/NFV Performance in Context of 5G

- Performance of SDN data, control, and management planes

- Design and assessment of efficient SDN northbound/southbound interfaces

- Performance of multi-controller SDN deployments

- Service function chaining performance evaluation

- Performance of NFV orchestration solutions

- Analysis of SDN and/or NFV systems

- SDN/NFV in Context of BlockChains, and FinTech

- Quantum  devices  and  hybrid  networks,  quantum  communications,

QKD-compatible SDN



Prospective  authors  are  invited  to  submit  papers  prepared using IEEE

2-column  conference  style with no more than 6 pages including figures and

references. All  the  accepted papers need  to be presented at the workshop

The PDF  version  of  the paper should be then submitted using the official

submission page: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25706
