Decoupling network functions from the underlying physical infrastructure using virtualization technologies enables service innovation. SDN allows programmability of the NFV infrastructure to support the deployment of new network functions in a variety of environments including campus and enterprise networks, data centers, Internet service providers (ISPs), cloud providers, and over-the-top (OTT) application and service providers. NFV enables network capacity and functionality to be decoupled, allowing network functions to be dynamically deployed whenever they are required and wherever they can be hosted. The dramatic industry transformation implied by NFV and SDN will not only impact network computing platforms and network architecture, but will also open up new avenues of research. Further, it enables the deployment of new network functions that enable smart cities/homes/cars/businesses, green infrastructures, new types of user interfaces and cyber physical system realizations. The 2016 IEEE NFV-SDN conference focuses in addition to the latest NFV concepts and mechanisms on first operational results on studies related to virtualized networks functions (VNFs) as well as new applications of VNFs, which smartens networks and their usage.

For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/authors/call-for-demos/ Call for Tutorials: The organizing committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held prior to the main conference. Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives: introducing students and newcomers to major topics of NFV and SDN research; providing instructions on established practices and methodologies; surveying a mature area of NFV and SDN research and/or practice; motivating and explaining an NFV and SDN topic of emerging importance; introducing expert non-specialists to an NFV and SDN research area. Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the Tutorial Program Co-Chairs. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/authors/call-for-tutorials/ Call for Workshop Proposals: The committee solicits proposals for one full-day or two half-day workshops to be held on Nov 7, 2016 at the Start of the main technical program. The Scope of the workshops is to complement the main conference program with forums for exchange of technical expertise, development, integration and standardization efforts on particularly focused areas of interest within the frame of the NFV/SDN. Proposals from industry and academia are welcome. Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the Workshop Program Co-Chairs. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/authors/call-for-workshop-proposals/ Author & Submission Guidelines: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers for publication in the IEEE NFV-SDN 2016 Conference Proceedings and for presentation in the technical sessions. We solicit submission of high-quality full papers reporting original and novel research results on all 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 All final submissions should have a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font), including figures, without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over length page charge of USD100 if accepted). Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted at EDAS. Submissions should be uploaded on http://edas.info/N2217= 5. To be published in the IEEE NFV-SDN 2016 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the FULL (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one FULL registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE NFV-SDN 2016 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore=C2=AE. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Explore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications Society will take action against any author who engages in either practice. --001a11c3fd2a4bd58705329a0e42 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

NFV enables network capacity and functionality to be decoupled, a= llowing network functions to be dynamically deployed whenever they are requ= ired and wherever they can be hosted. The dramatic industry transformation = implied by NFV and SDN will not only impact network computing platforms and= network architecture, but will also open up new avenues of research. Furth= er, it enables the deployment of new network functions that enable smart ci= ties/homes/cars/businesses, green infrastructures, new types of user interf= aces and cyber physical system realizations. The 2016 IEEE NFV-SDN conferen= ce focuses in addition to the latest NFV concepts and mechanisms on first o= perational results on studies related to virtualized networks functions (VN= Fs) as well as new applications of VNFs, which smartens networks and their = usage.

Decoupling network functions from the underlying physical infrastructure using virtualization technologies enables service innovation. SDN allows programmability of the NFV infrastructure to support the deployment of new network functions in a variety of environments including campus and enterprise networks, data centers, Internet service providers (ISPs), cloud providers, and over-the-top (OTT) application and service providers. NFV enables network capacity and functionality to be decoupled, allowing network functions to be dynamically deployed whenever they are required and wherever they can be hosted. The dramatic industry transformation implied by NFV and SDN will not only impact network computing platforms and network architecture, but will also open up new avenues of research. Further, it enables the deployment of new network functions that enable smart cities/homes/cars/businesses, green infrastructures, new types of user interfaces and cyber physical system realizations. The 2016 IEEE NFV-SDN conference focuses in addition to the latest NFV concepts and mechanisms on first operational results on studies related to virtualized networks functions (VNFs) as well as new applications of VNFs, which smartens networks and their usage.

CALL = FOR PAPERS

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defin= ed Networks (SDN) enable rapid network and service innovation for all parti= cipants in the ecosystem. Decoupling network functions from the underlying = physical infrastructure using virtualization technologies enables service i= nnovation. SDN allows programmability of the NFV infrastructure to support = the deployment of new network functions in a variety of environments includ= ing campus and enterprise networks, data centers, Internet service provider= s (ISPs), cloud providers, and over-the-top (OTT) application and service p= roviders. NFV enables network capacity and functionality to be decoupled, a= llowing network functions to be dynamically deployed whenever they are requ= ired and wherever they can be hosted. The dramatic industry transformation = implied by NFV and SDN will not only impact network computing platforms and= network architecture, but will also open up new avenues of research. Furth= er, it enables the deployment of new network functions that enable smart ci= ties/homes/cars/businesses, green infrastructures, new types of user interf= aces and cyber physical system realizations. The 2016 IEEE NFV-SDN conferen= ce focuses in addition to the latest NFV concepts and mechanisms on first o= perational results on studies related to virtualized networks functions (VN= Fs) as well as new applications of VNFs, which smartens networks and their = usage.

Decoupling network functions from the underlying physical infrastructure using virtualization technologies enables service innovation. SDN allows programmability of the NFV infrastructure to support the deployment of new network functions in a variety of environments including campus and enterprise networks, data centers, Internet service providers (ISPs), cloud providers, and over-the-top (OTT) application and service providers. NFV enables network capacity and functionality to be decoupled, allowing network functions to be dynamically deployed whenever they are required and wherever they can be hosted. The dramatic industry transformation implied by NFV and SDN will not only impact network computing platforms and network architecture, but will also open up new avenues of research. Further, it enables the deployment of new network functions that enable smart cities/homes/cars/businesses, green infrastructures, new types of user interfaces and cyber physical system realizations. The 2016 IEEE NFV-SDN conference focuses in addition to the latest NFV concepts and mechanisms on first operational results on studies related to virtualized networks functions (VNFs) as well as new applications of VNFs, which smartens networks and their usage.
