About

The 6th IEEE Conference on Network Functions Virtualization and Software Defined Networking (IEEE NFV-SDN 2020) is still scheduled to be held as planned, beginning 10-12 November in Leganes (Madrid), Spain.

The safety and well-being of all conference participants are our priority. We will continue to monitor official travel advisories related to the Corona Virus and update the event website to keep you informed. We encourage you to review the conference’s Health and Safety page for tips and travel recommendations.

In addition to the latest NFV and SDN concepts and mechanisms, the 2020 IEEE NFV-SDN conference will focus on first operational results related to virtualized networks functions (VNFs) as well as designing, describing, orchestrating, and managing new applications made of VNFs which smarten networks and their usage.

We look forward to your participation!

Call for Papers

The IEEE NFV-SDN conference invites researchers from around the world to share ideas nfluencing the evolution and operation of NFV and SDN technologies. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics:

NFV and SDN Architectures, Infrastructure and Elements

- Emerging improvements including Network Slicing and the unikernel paradigm
- Impact of “open X”
- Improvements in design of forwarding elements, e.g. switches/routers, wireless systems
- Optimizing NFV infrastructures including hardware acceleration technologies
- Heterogeneous server platforms and the detailed element-level CPU/GPU/FPGA mapping of NFV functions
- SDN/NFV in recent and novel architecture paradigms such as Edge, Fog etc.

NFV and SDN Operations

- 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 and simplify deployment and operation of SDN/NFV networks

Performance Analysis and Optimization

- Costs of migration of application containers and workloads
- 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)

Results and Evaluations in Application Scenarios

- Comparative studies on different virtualization technologies
- Usage scenarios such as SD-WAN, IoT, Smart Grid, Smart Cities, etc.
- Improvements in future communication infrastructure enabled by SDN 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)
