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 2020) 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.<span></span></span></p>

Fourth 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
