5GN 2016 - 1st International Workshop on Network Management, Quality of Service and Security for 5G Networks

The 1st International Workshop on Network Management, Quality of Service and Security for 5G Networks, hosted at EuCNC 2016, Athens, Greece
Date: 27th June 2016
URL: http://www.eucnc.eu/
DEADLINE for Submission : May 13th, 2016
In the 5G landscape, Network management will be focused on networks which scale to millions of nodes and potentially millions of networks services running across this infrastructure. Such networks cannot be managed successfully using current network management technologies or by a human operator via a console. The scale of the network and the complexities of the inter relationships between the nodes, functions and services and the overall QoS are of an order that a new approach based on models reflecting these complex relationships and applied in an autonomic fashion are essential.
Added to this, new technologies such as NFV and SDN which enable much greater flexibility through programmable traffic management and resource application and scaling, and the approach to network management must adopt this new level of flexibility and it associated complexity.
Equally essential in 5G is the privacy, protection and trustworthiness of the end users communications, user profile information, and the overall resilience of the network to fraud and intrusion or efforts to undermine the operations or integrity of the network. Network Security covers both data and control planes of the network and is concerned with concepts such as Network Slicing and Micro segmentation, allowing the fine grained security of SDN and NFV and specifically focused on 5G use cases and business requirements.
The workshop's scope includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below:
Network Management:
Integration of Networking Technologies
Integrated & Cognitive Network Management
Virtual Network Platforms
Multi Domain Software Networks
Service Program and Orchestration
Network Softwarisation
Security:
Network Security, Protection and Resilience
Network Slicing
Network Data Security, Integrity and Privacy
Quality of Services:
Metrics, Algorithms and Techniques for QoS and QoE of the Network & Services
SDN and NFV technology:
These will be core to 5G and the QoS and security of the network will depend heavily on the proper management and secure use of these technologies.
To submit an abstract to the workshop, send and email to eucncworkshop-AT-netmgmtwg.5g-ppp.eu
The timeslot for each of the paper presentations at the workshop will be approximately 15 minutes, with a further 5 minutes for questions
