The IEEE International Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2016) will be held in beautiful Seoul, Korea. NetSoft is the flagship event established as part of the IEEE Software-Defined Networks (SDN) Initiative of the IEEE Future Directions Committee. This cross-societies’ Initiative aims at creating the conditions for a pre-industrial exploitation and adoption of SDN/NFV paradigms in Telecommunications and ICT ecosystems, through a worldwide cooperation of leading technical experts.

In particular, the vision of the IEEE SDN Initiative is that SDN and NFV are part of a wider systemic trend, called Network Softwarization, impacting both network and service platforms. In fact, the exploitation of high levels of automation, increased flexibility and programmability allows reinventing future network and cloud architectures, accelerating service deployment and facilitating infrastructure management.

NetSoft is the primary IEEE forum for publication and technical exchange of the latest research and innovation results in this challenging area.

NetSoft 2016 will feature keynotes, tutorials, technical paper presentations, demos, exhibitions from world-leading service providers, vendors, research institutes, open source projects, and academia.

Keynote speakers include:

Co-located Workshops

Software Defined 5G Networks (Soft5G 2016)

SDN and IoT (SDN-IoT 2016)

Security in Virtualized Networks (Sec-VirtNet 2016)
