The 2023 IEEE NFV-SDN conference will be held in Dresden, Germany on Nov. 7-9,
2023. It again is an important forum for the ongoing exchange of the latest
ideas,
developments and results amongst ecosystem partners in both academia and
industry.
The conference fosters knowledge sharing and discussion on new approaches as
well
as work addressing gaps and improvements in NFV and SDN-enabled architectures,
algorithms and operational frameworks for virtualized network functions and
infrastructures.
Topics of interest
------------------------
The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics:
NFV, CNF, and SDN Architectures, Infrastructure, and Elements
- Emerging improvements, including Network Slicing and the unikernel paradigm
- Improvements in the design of forwarding elements, e.g., switches/routers,
wireless systems
- Optimizing virtualized infrastructures, including hardware acceleration
technologies
- Heterogeneous server platforms and the detailed element-level CPU/GPU/FPGA
mapping of network functions
- SDN/CNF/NFV in recent and novel architecture paradigms
- Architectural design aspects toward Next-Generation wireless networks,
Virtualization Technologies for Edge/Fog Computing
- Microservice-based and agent-based SDN/NFV
- SDN/NFV in 6G three-dimensional networking
NFV, CNF, and SDN Operations
- Protocols for virtual network orchestration
- Dynamic license management, autonomics, machine learning, monitoring,
resiliency,
fault management, and self-healing
- Network security and isolation impacts of virtualization technologies
- Advanced tools for automated design, deployment, validation, and management
- Application of machine learning and big data analytics to manage to simplify
deployment and operation of SDN/CNF/NFV networks
- SDN/NFV orchestration and operations in 6G network continuum
AI/ML in SDN/NFV networks
- AI/ML techniques and network softwarization
- AI/ML network automation
- AI/ML applications for SDN and NFV
- AI/ML enabled SDN/NFV deployments
- Design and performance evaluation of AI/ML techniques in softwarized networks
Performance Analysis and Optimization
- Costs of migration of application containers and workloads
- Experience building network virtualization testbeds
- Data/control plane performance, interoperability, and scalability studies
- Resource dimensioning and optimization (e.g., cloud-native design), workload
isolation, and tradeoffs
- Design guidelines for modularity, scalability, high availability, and
interoperability (e.g., container and micro services implementations)
- SDN/NFV new KPIs and trade-offs in 6G architecture
Results and Evaluations in Application Scenarios
- Comparative studies on different virtualization technologies
- Usage scenarios such as SD-WAN, IoT or Smart Grid,
- Use of virtualization technologies for Smart Cities, Smart and Connected
Communities, Smart and Connected Health, etc.
- Improvements in future communication infrastructure enabled by SDN, CNF, and
NFV,
including fixed and wireless access, public, private and hybrid clouds
- Social and regulatory impacts (e.g., network implications of data location
and privacy)
- Operational experience in operational networks (e.g., 5G deployments, AI in
Radio
Interface Controller)
Submission guidelines
-----------------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit original full technical or fast-track
papers for publication in the IEEE NFV-SDN 2023 Conference Proceedings and
presentations in the technical sessions. We solicit submission of high-quality
full papers reporting original and novel research results on all the 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.
FULL TECHNICAL PAPERS should have a maximum paper length of six (6) printed
pages
(10-point font), including figures, without incurring additional page charges
(maximum one additional page with over length page charge of USD100 if
accepted).
Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted at EDAS. For information on
submissions,
please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/
FAST-TRACK PAPERS: We also welcome fast-track papers from the research
community up
to four (4) pages in length (10pt font); max. one additional page with over
length
page charge of USD100 if accepted. These papers should focus more on recent and
newly-developing results. Compared to longer papers, fast-track papers will be
reviewed with a more open mind towards the scope of evaluation or breadth of
topics.
We recommend that authors check both calls for papers before submitting them.

information on submissions, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/
