CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE PVE-SDN 2018 Workshop
on Approaches, Analyses, and Performance Issues in
Virtualized Environments and Software Defined Networking (PVE-SDN)
Colocated with IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2018)
25-29 June 2018 – Montreal, Canada
http://sites.ieee.org/sagroups-1916-1/ieee-pve-sdn-2018
===========================================================================
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 in 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.
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
- Approaches relevant to SDN and/or NFV
- Analysis of SDN and/or NFV systems
- SDN/NFV in Context of BlockChains, and FinTech
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.
They will be included in the workshop proceedings as well as IEEE Xplore.
