Call for Papers

------------------------------------

The introduction of the paradigms of Software Defined Networks (SDN) and
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is deeply modifying the Internet
moving towards the new concept of softwarized network, where network nodes
are realized with general-purpose standard servers, and network functions
are implemented as software pieces running on them according to the data
center and cloud computing paradigms. These technologies, combined with the
emerging standard of Multi Access Edge Computing (MEC), will be the enablers
of the forthcoming 5G mobile network for the Tactile Internet, a framework
that most likely will revolutionize every segment of the society in the
immediate future. Tactile Internet is considered as the next step of the
Internet of Things (IoT) thanks to its property of delivering a low latency
enough to build real-time interactive systems and physical tactile
experiences remotely. Example areas of application are real-time gaming,
industrial automation, transportation systems, health and education.

 

We invite authors to submit papers reporting original, previously
unpublished research, which address this new area in all its aspects. We are
open to papers dealing with a broad spread of topics, ranging from
architectural and protocol perspectives to modeling and simulative
approaches for design and performance evaluation; from the definition of use
cases to the implementation of prototypes; from the description of
standardization activities to the analysis of its economic impact on the
market and the common daily lifetime. Review articles are also welcome.
