The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Networking 2020 Conference (NETWORKING 2020) will be held in Paris, France. This is the 19th event of the series, sponsored by the IFIP Technical Committee on Communication Systems (TC6). Accepted papers will be published in the IFIP Digital Library and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. High quality papers will be recommended for fast track publications in selected journals.

The main objective of Networking 2020 is to bring together academic and industrial experts of the networking community to discuss the most recent advances in networking, to highlight key issues, identify trends, and develop a vision of the future Internet from a design, deployment and operation standpoints. Networking 2020 technical sessions will be structured around the following yet non limitative areas:



Network Architectures, Applications and Services
Network automation techniques, including (but not limited to) policy-based network management, software-defined networking (SDN), dynamic policy enforcement and resource allocation schemes, dynamic service parameter negotiation frameworks, and feedback mechanisms
Artificial intelligence applied to networking: dynamic resource negotiation and provisioning, dynamic service structuring (orchestration) and delivery
Service function chaining
Data center networking; fog, edge and cloud computing design and operation
(Multi-tenant) networking slicing, from slice parameter negotiation to provisioning and operation
Drone networking and related unmanned technology-based services and applications
Protective and collaborative networking: dynamic threat anticipation and mitigation, dynamic attack mitigation practices, inter-DDoS Service Provider (DPS) collaboration, collaborative autonomous and SDN networking
Transactional networking: attack-proof and resiliency techniques applied to financial networking, inter-domain banking services
Internet of Things (IoT): cross-platform IoT service design, delivery and operation

Networking 2020 welcomes paper submissions on all topics related to computer and communication networks. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for review elsewhere will be considered. Submitted papers should be written in English, with a maximum length limit of 9 printed pages, including all figures, references, and appendices.

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions must be done electronically through EDAS using the following link: http://edas.info/N25747

An author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference, unless a written request before the conference for a substitute presenter to TPC Co-Chairs with compelling reasons is granted.
