SDN-NFV Sec 2021: 2021 ACM International Workshop on Software Defined Networks & Network Function Virtualization Security virtual Virtual, NC, United States, April 26-28, 2021

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are two evolutionary networking paradigms, which introduce significant granularity, visibility, flexibility and elasticity to networking. However, they both introduce new security challenges as well. The 2021 ACM International Workshop on Software Defined Networks & Network Function Virtualization (SDN-NFV Sec 2021) will take place virtually on April 28, 2021. The target audience will be university researchers, scientists, and industry professionals who need to become acquainted with new theories and technologies related to security challenges and solutions in SDN and NFV.

SDN-NFV Security 2021 will be held in conjunction with the 11th ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy (CODASPY 2021) and is sponsored by ACM SIGSAC.

Submission Guidelines

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed.

Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without review.

Submissions that are not accepted as full papers may be invited to appear as short papers. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted and presented papers will be included in the ACM CODASPY Proceeding indexed by the ACM Digital Library.

Submissions should be made electronically at Easychair. Authors need to have an account in the system or obtain one prior to the submission.

Venue

SDN-NFV Sec 2021 will be a virtual event. However, should COVID-19 circumstances allow, the workshop will include an in-person optional component in the USA. Participation in the in-person component will be entirely at authors' and attendees' discretion. All authors of accepted papers will have the option to present and participate virtually.
