CloudNet 2018 - IEEE International Conference on 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.
