The organizing committee is delighted to invite you  to the 4th IEEE  
International
Conference   on   Network   Softwarization   (NetSoft 2018)  that  will  
be held on
June 25-29, 2018   in  the  heart  of  Montreal,  Quebec, Canada. IEEE 
NetSoft has
been  created  as  a  flagship  conference  aiming at addressing   
"Softwarization"
of networks  and systemic trends  concerning  the convergence  of Cloud 
Computing,
Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and Network Function Virtualization 
(NFV).

IEEE   NetSoft  2018  will  feature  4  keynotes, 10 technical  
sessions,   6 demo
sessions,  4 tutorials  and  a  Distinguished  Expert Panel.  The
