 Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) enable rapid network and service innovation for all participants in the ecosystem. Decoupling network functions from the underlying physical infrastructure using virtualization technologies enables service innovation. SDN allows programmability of the NFV infrastructure to support the deployment of new network functions in a variety of environments including campus and enterprise networks, data centers, Internet service providers (ISPs), cloud providers, and over-the-top (OTT) application and service providers. NFV enables network capacity and functionality to be decoupled, allowing network functions to be dynamically deployed whenever they are required and wherever they can be hosted. The dramatic industry transformation implied by NFV and SDN will not only impact network computing platforms and network architecture, but will also open up new avenues of research. Further, it enables the deployment of new network functions that enable smart cities/homes/cars/businesses, green infrastructures, new types of user interfaces and cyber-physical reality. We solicit submission of high-quality full papers reporting original and novel research results on all above topics. Papers must be written in English, unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. Full papers must be formatted as the standard IEEE double-column conference template. Maximum 7 pages are allowed for each paper, including all illustrations and references. Submissions should be uploaded on http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=19335<http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=1038010362&sid=73263807&m=9911324&u=IEEECOMSOC&j=27254248&s=http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=19335>.

TOPICS

The new IEEE NFV-SDN conference aims at bringing researchers all around the world together to share  ideas that can impact the evolution and operation of NFV and SDN technologies. We encourage submission of innovative work on NFV and SDN. The following is a non-exhaustive list of  topics:

-       SDN architectures, protocols, application programming interfaces, and programming languages

-       Design of SDN-based forwarding elements (switch/router, optical, wireless, gateway)

-       Control plane architectures and network operating systems in NFV and SDN

-       New forwarding abstractions and programmability paradigms

-       NFV infrastructure architectures including hardware acceleration technologies

-       Applications and usage scenarios enabled by NFV and SDN

-       Data and control plane conformance, interoperability, scalability, and performance studies

-       Performance evaluation, optimization, isolation, and tradeoffs with multiple NFV workloads

-       Design guidelines for scalable, available, composable, and modular virtualized network functions (VNFs)

-       Commercial models and implications for NFV and SDN ecosystems

-       Service chaining/orchestration and traffic steering in NFV and SDN

-       App store management for NFV and SDN

-       Tools for validating network services and automating their deployment and management

-       Applying compositional patterns for parallelism, control logic, performance, and reliability of network services

-       Reliability, resiliency, and fault management in NFV and SDN

-       Autonomic management technologies in NFV and SDN

-       Security functions and services in SDN and NFV

-       Application of big data analytics to NFV and SDN

-       Scalable distributed and hierarchical controller architectures

-       Software-based integration of computing, storage, and networking

DEMOS, TUTORIALS AND PANELS

Call for Demos: The IEEE NFV-SDN conference also invites demonstration papers in the NFV and SDN realms addressing (but not limited to) the topics above. The demonstrations should be configured to run in a cloud environment accessible via Internet and presented from the exhibition space floor on the demonstrator's laptop. Also, an author of an accepted demo is required to register for the conference at the full or limited rate and present the demo at the IEEE NFV-SDN 2015 conference. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/cfd.html<http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=1038010362&sid=73263808&m=9911324&u=IEEECOMSOC&j=27254248&s=http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/cfd.html>.

Call for Tutorials: The organizing committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held prior to the main conference.  Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives: introducing students and newcomers to major topics of NFV and SDN research; providing instructions on established practices and methodologies; surveying a mature area of NFV and SDN research and/or practice; motivating and explaining an NFV and SDN topic of emerging importance; introducing expert non-specialists to an NFV and SDN research area. Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the Tutorial Program Co-Chairs. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/cft.html<http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=1038010362&sid=73263809&m=9911324&u=IEEECOMSOC&j=27254248&s=http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/cft.html>.

Call for Industry Panels: The organizing committee solicits proposals for panel sessions to provide opportunities for the practicing industry professionals to both share and learn about the latest ideas, trends, and product innovations in the commercial exploitation of NFV and SDN. Panels are an important component of the conference to bring together researchers from around the world for an interactive discussion among the panel members and the participants on focused topics.  Before submitting a panel proposal, the organizer of a panel is expected to contact all the proposed panel members and get their agreement to serve as a panel member. A submission to be a Panel Session Leader, if accepted, is a commitment to arrange the specific topic of interest with 3-5 speakers. A submission to be a Panel Session Speaker, if accepted, is a commitment to join in with the selected others.
