The Fourth International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2018) 25-29 June, 2018 Montreal, Canada
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Fourth International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2018)
25-29 June, 2018 | Montreal, Canada | http://computing.derby.ac.uk/sns2018
in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2018)
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) have changed the networking industry dramatically. NFV virtualizes network services by utilizing virtualization technologies to reduce the dependency on underlying hardware. NFV provides many benefits such as faster service enablement, ease of resource management and lower OPEX and CAPEX. SDN separates the control functions from the underlying physical network by decoupling the control and data planes. SDN provides many benefits such as reduced costs, ease of deployment and management, better scalability, availability, flexibility and fine-grain control of traffic and security. Like traditional networks, they are subject to various security threats and attacks. In this workshop, we invite high-quality submissions in the areas of NFV and SDN security and other related areas. Submitted papers should highlight methods and approaches that can be used to analyse the security risks and requirements, threats and techniques related to NFV and SDN and to provide novel methods and approaches to assure security in NFV and SDN.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Security threats and vulnerabilities introduced by NFV and SDN technologies
- Management and orchestration of NFV and SDN elements for security
- Security, reliability and privacy through SDN and NFV in 5G networks
- Threat detection and mitigation through SDN and NFV
- Security policy specification and management in SDN and NFV systems
- Security related monitoring and analytics in SDN and NFV solutions
- 5G security architecture, trust and confidence
- Authentication, Authorization and Accounting in SDN
- Security of applying SDN to wireless and mobile network
- Security of applying NFV and SDN to IoT
- Security of applying NFV and SDN to cloud computing
- Risk and compliance issues in SDN
- Security architectures for SDN
- Security standards for SDN
- Security of SDN data plane
- Security of SDN control plane
- Security of SDN application plane
- Security of routing in SDN
- Security as a service for SDN
Submissions
Please use JEMS to upload your submission at https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=3011.
The manuscripts must be prepared in English, following IEEE two-column Manuscript Templates (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html) for Conference Proceedings with a maximum length of six (6) printed pages, including figures. All papers need to be submitted in PDF format via JEMS. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. To be published in the Workshop Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore, at least one author of an accepted paper is required to register and present the paper at the workshop. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Explore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications Society will take action against any author who engages in either practice.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The manuscripts must be prepared in English, following IEEE two-column Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings with a maximum length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font), including figures.
