NetCloud 2017, collocated with IEEE CloudCom 2017, attempts to address the problem of how the underlying network infrastructure is capable of supporting advanced cloud computing use cases, such as big data power users or meshed cloud/network services for an example. The workshop is intended to bring together network research community, commercial network operators and industry with the major cloud computing players, including IT specialists, researchers and commercial providers.
The workshop is a follow-up of a series of six successful workshop from 2011 till 2016, where a number of enthusiasts in cloud computing and next generation networking and operations exchanged ideas and presented results of research projects dealing with clouds and network integration, aka cloud aware networks and cloud service delivery infrastructures.
Submission Guidelines
Papers describing original research on both theoretical and practical aspects of dynamic network services for cloud computing are solicited.
The workshop will accept for review only original papers that have not been previously published. Papers should be formatted based on the IEEE Transactions journals and conferences style; maximum allowed camera-ready paper length is six (6) pages. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, including text, figures and references.
Important Dates:
Paper Submissions: *** Extended September 6, 2017 ***
