The 11th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking
IEEE CloudNet 2022
Paris, France

November 07 - 10, 2022.
https://www.ieee-cloudnet.org


Call for Papers
===============

Cloud networking has emerged as a promising direction for cost‐efficient, reliable service and data delivery across wide-area backbones and data-center fabrics. The prominent penetration of virtualization technologies into computing and communication infrastructure has led to continuous innovation, with new network protocols, software platforms, and artificial intelligence-based techniques for their orchestration. CloudNet 2022 will bring together the world’s most distinguished researchers and industry experts in this field and will provide a great opportunity for you to present your research as well as exchange ideas with a highly motivated audience.
Selected CLOUDNET 2022 best-papers finalists will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management (impact factor: 4.195), with a fast track review process.
Accepted papers can be presented remotely: a link for remote participation will be available before the beginning of the conference.
