The 8th IEEE NFV-SDN conference, which will take place in Arizona, invites proposals for one full-day or two half-day workshops to be held on Nov. 14, 2022 at the start of the main technical program. The purpose of the workshops is to complement the main conference program with forums to exchange expertise on technical aspects, development, integration, as well as standardization efforts on particularly focused areas of interest within the frame of the NFV-SDN conference. We strongly encourage proposal from both industry and academia alike.

 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 

  • Network Slicing in 5G/6G Systems 
  • NFV Evolution  
  • Advances in Network Services Chain  
  • SDN and NFV Security challenges 
  • Portability and benchmarking of Virtual network functions  
  • Edge Computing synergy with NFV and SDN  
  • Split computing for NFV-SDN operation 
  • Machine learning for NFV Management and Orchestration  
  • NFV-SDN deployment cases across vertical sectors 
  • Validation and Verification of Network Services and VNFs 
  • Zero-touch network and Service Management
