The Second IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Network Services (NS)

Click here for Preliminary Program

With the development of Software-Defined Anything, software is already penetrating into the Internet and even controlling the network. Last two decades have seen the emergency of various network services and new service models in the field of networking. Adoption of the Service-Oriented Architecture principle in networking has enabled the Network-as-a-Service paradigm that is expected to play a crucial role. Service Function Chaining provides the ability to define an ordered list of a network services (e.g. firewalls, load balancers). These services are then "stitched" together in the network to create a service chain. Blockchain technology and other technologies for developing trustworthy systems can be used to improve the security of the network service. Network services significantly impact performance of higher layer services/applications. The behavior of an end-to-end network service is the result of the combination of the individual network function behaviors as well as the behaviors of the network infrastructure composition mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink the existing strategies to maintain quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Service Composition/Mesh
Service Function Chain
Network Services in 5/6G
Network Services in Mobile Edge Computing
Network Services in IoT/IoV
Service in Social Network
Network Services for AR/VR/MR
Network-aware Service Computing
Self-Defending Network for Services
Network Service Model and Architecture
Software-Defined Networking for Services
Network Functions Virtualization for Services
Network Service and Blockchain
Performance Evaluation for Network Services

Submission

We call for original and unpublished Regular Papers no longer than 6 pages (up to 2 additional pages may be purchased subject to approval by the Publication Chair.) We also allow submissions of unpublished Short Papers (exactly 4 pages) and Concise Papers (exactly 2 pages). All regular and short papers will be reviewed with a minimum of 3 good-quality reviews per paper. Concise papers will be expeditiously reviewed by the workshop organizers for final decisions. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The submission URL is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeservices2020

Authors wishing to submit a paper to this workshop must select the track entitled IEEE Services Workshop on Network Services (NS)” in order to be considered.
