Call for Tutorials

The 3rd IEEE NFV-SDN conference, which will take place in Berlin, invites proposals for 2.5 hour, half-day, or one full-day tutorials to be held on November 6, 2017, prior to the main technical program. Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives: Introduce students and newcomers to major topics of NFV and SDN research; Provide instruction on established practices and methodologies; Survey a mature area of NFV and SDN research and/or practice; Motivate and explain an NFV and SDN topic of emerging importance; Introduce expert non-specialists to an NFV and SDN research area.

 

Suggested topics to be considered include, but not limited to:

  • Applications enabled by NFV & SDN technologies
    • End-user defined network services, IoT, content acquisition and delivery, AR/VR
  • NFV and SDN Infrastructure design
    • Cloud-Native design principles
    • VNF lifecycle management
      • Network & resource slicing
      • High performance switching and data plane optimization
      • Low latency computing at the network edge
      • Benchmarking and performance testing
      • Autonomics enabling dynamic network reconfiguration
      • Fault management and self-healing
      • Security and resilience
    • NFV and/or SDN related information modelling, data modelling
    • Hands-on with open source
