*********************************************************************
The 3rd IEEE International
Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2017) will be held July 3 to 7,
2017 at the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy. IEEE NetSoft is the
flagship conference of the IEEE SDN Initiative which aims to address
“Softwarization" of networks and systemic trends concerning the
convergence of Cloud Computing, Software-Defined Networks, and Network Function
Virtualization.
*** Scope
***
The telecommunications landscape
will change radically in the next few years. Pervasive ultra-broadband,
programmable networks, and cost reduction of IT systems are paving the way to
new services and commoditization of telecommunications infrastructure while
lowering entrance barriers for new players and giving rise to new value
chains.
While this results in considerable
challenges for service providers, this transformation also brings unprecedented
opportunities for the Digital Society and the Digital Economy related to
emerging new services and applications.
Examples include Tactile Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Cloud
Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence. 5G will both exploit and accelerate this
transformation.
NetSoft 2017 aims to capture the
theme of "Softwarization Sustaining
a Hyper-connected World: en route to 5G" and serve as forum for
researchers to discuss the latest advances in this area.
NetSoft 2017 will feature technical
paper, keynotes, tutorials, and demos and exhibits from world-leading experts
representing operators, vendors, research institutes, open source projects, and
academia.
