We look forward to your submissions. IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on Advances in Networking = Software http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/advances-networking-software IMPORTANT DATES - Manuscript Submission Deadline: November 1, 2016 - Decision Notification: February 1, 2017 - Final Manuscript Due Date: March 15, 2017 - Publication Date: June 2017 = --------------------------------------------------------------------------= IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic: ADVANCES IN NETWORKING SOFTWARE CALL FOR PAPERS Networking and communications systems are currently undergoing a = substantive transformation on several fronts that promises to result in = substantially lower cost, simplified operations, and dramatically faster = innovation cycles as traditional barriers to the deployment of = innovations are removed. This transformation is best summarized as = =C3=92softwarization=C3=93 of the network, which is, in turn, realized = through advances in networking software. Where in the past networking = functions were predominantly implemented using purpose-built hardware, = custom protocols, and firmware images,those networking functions are = increasingly instantiated through software that is abstracted from = hardware, freely programmable, and relying on algorithmic invocation of = generic APIs. SDN (Software-Defined Networks), NV (Network = Virtualization) and NFV (Network Function Virtualization), NP (Network = Programmability) and SFC (Service Function Chaining) are all examples of = this transformation. This Feature Topic solicits original contributions that collectively = provide a comprehensive picture of recent advances in network = softwarization and networking software, including associated platforms, = technologies, applications, and methods. Contributions can include = tutorial-style overviews of the current state of the art, latest = research results, and reports on experiences with the adoption and = deployment of network softwarizationtechnology. Topics that may be considered for the Feature Topic will include, but = notbe limited to, the following: - Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Software-Defined Infrastructure = (SDI) - Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Network Virtualization (NV) - Service Function Chaining (SFC) - Open Source Frameworks, such as Open Daylight, ONOS, OpenContrail, = OPNFV, and others - Softwarized Networking Service Platforms and Ecosystems - Management, Orchestration, Service Assurance of Softwarized Networks - Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and SDKs for Networking = Software and Software-Defined Infrastructure - Network Programmability and Network Programming Languages, including = Intent and Policy Languages for SDN/NFV/SFC - Softwarized Networking Applications, Services, and Architectures - Novel Control and Management Planes for Softwarized Networks - Resource Management, Traffic Engineering, QoS in Softwarized Networks - Softwarization applied to specific Network Technologies: 5G, Mobile = Edge Computing, C-RAN - Software Platforms for Internet-of-Things (IoT); Softwarized Things, = Devices, Endpoints - Network Softwarization for Fog and Cloud Networking - Security in Softwarized Networks - Engineering Methodologies and Tools for Network Softwarization - Networking Software Design and Delivery Methodologies, DevOps - Networking Software Standardization: ETSI NFV, IETF, ITU-T, IEEE, = others - Interworking and Migration Strategies for Legacy Networks - Deployments and Experience Reports SUBMISSIONS Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being = all members of the communications technology community. They should be = written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of = the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified = cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not = exceed 4500 words (from introduction through conclusions, excluding = figures, tables andcaptions). Figures and tables should be limited to a = combined total of six. The number of archival references is recommended = not to exceed 15. Insome rare cases, more mathematical equations, = figures, and tables may beallowed if well justified. In general, = however, mathematics should be avoided; instead, references to papers = containing the relevant mathematics should be provided. Complete = guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts are posted = athttp://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. Please send = a pdf (preferred) or MSWORD formatted paper via Manuscript Central = (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee). Register or log in, and = go to Author Center. Follow the instructions there. Select "June 2017/ = Advances in Networking Software" as the Feature Topic category for your = submission.
