Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has gained considerable attention both in academia and industry. This special session calls for recent research, practical experiences, and development lessons in deploying NFV in current and emerging networking environments.

The research can be in NFV range from virtualization of both residential and service provider wireless gateways/access nodes to centralized control for optical fibers channels and MPLS. There are limitless network functions that can be virtualized and there are various factors that can impact NFV such as algorithm for QoS and Security, innovation for new programmable ASIC or advanced FPGA. Practical experience on deploying NFV for novel applications are particularly welcome especially integrating virtualized network devices into the existing network.

The contributions requested include but are not limited to:

*.     Cloud or Virtual Residential Gateway
*.     Virtualization of Access Network Function
*.     Programmable Access Technology
*.     Centralized or unified control & management of FTTx
*.     Wholesale of virtual access network
*.     Quality of service in access network virtualization
*.     Service provisioning or generation in virtual access network
*.     Coexistent of virtualized and non-virtualized access network function
*.     Impacts on user experiences

We encourage submissions of high-quality technical papers reporting original research that has not been previously published, and is not currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. The special session papers will be treated the same as the main technical track papers in terms of formatting, reviewing, quality control, inclusion into proceedings, author registration and attendance.
