Cloud Networking Cloud Networking has emerged as a promising direction for cost‐efficient and reliable service delivery across data communication networks. The dynamic location of service facilities and the virtualization of hardware and software elements are stressing the communication network and protocols, especially when datacenters are interconnected through the Internet. Emerging Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) can play significant roles by improving the dynamicity and programmability of cloud networks. Middlebox has been significantly improved the agility of cloud network deployment and management. The 7th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet 2018), part of the IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative, can greatly promote researches in cloud network and emerging research areas.
Conference topics include (but are not limited to):
-Cloud network and resource management
-Infrastructure
-Bridging
