The conference aims at providing a forum for researchers, students, and professionals to exchange ideas, share their experiences, and discuss their research results around a single-track of technical sessions and a series of keynote speeches.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Papers accepted and presented at NoF 2019 will be published on IEEExplore. Authors of selected papers accepted for publication in the NoF 2019 proceedings will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to the Wiley's International Journal of Network management. After the successful editions in Brisbane, Australia (2010), in Paris, France (2011 and 2014), in Tunis, Tunisia (2012), in Pohang, South Korea (2013), in Montreal, Canada (2015), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2016), London, United Kingdom (2017), and Poznan, Poland (2018), the tenth edition of the NoF Conference will be held in Rome. NoF 2019 will take place in the Engineering Faculty campus of the University of Rome La Sapienza, one of the oldest universities in the world, founded by Pope Boniface VIII in 1303. The Engineering Faculty campus is located in the heart of Rome, few steps from Colosseum and The Imperial Fora.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Topics of interest include but are not limited to:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Networks</div><div class=""> - 5G networks</div><div class=""> - Software-defined networks</div><div class=""> - Virtual networks</div><div class=""> - Overlay networks</div><div class=""> - Wireless networks and cellular networks</div><div class=""> - Wireless sensor networks</div><div class=""> - Internet of Things networks</div><div class=""> - Information-centric networks</div><div class=""> - Enterprise networks and campus networks</div><div class=""> - Data center networks</div><div class=""> - Optical networks</div><div class=""> - IP networks</div><div class=""> - Home networks</div><div class=""> - Access networks</div><div class=""> - SCADA networks and distributed control systems</div><div class=""> - Smart Cities and Smart Grids</div><div class=""> - Access, metro, backbone and core networks</div><div class=""> - Vehicular ad hoc networks and intelligent transportation systems</div><div class=""> - Mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networks</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Enablers</div><div class=""> - Quality of service and traffic engineering</div><div class=""> - Network Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Reasoning</div><div class=""> - Network Data Analytics, Anomaly Detection, Feature Extraction</div><div class=""> - Network automation and orchestration</div><div class=""> - Autonomic, Cognitive and Intent-based Networking</div><div class=""> - 5G Network Architecture, Services and Protocols</div><div class=""> - 5G Control and Management Architecture</div><div class=""> - 5G Functional Decomposition and Composition</div><div class=""> - Advanced 5G Infrastructure Slicing and Radio Slicing</div><div class=""> - Scalability and multi-tenancy in 5G</div><div class=""> - Network Programmability and Softwarization</div><div class=""> - Protocols for Ultra-Low Latency and Ultra-High Reliability</div><div class=""> - Fog, Edge and Multi-Access Computing</div><div class=""> - Software Defined Networking and High Availability</div><div class=""> - Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Orchestration</div><div class=""> - Service Function Chaining and Virtual Network Embedding</div><div class=""> - Big data and Fast Data Processing and Management</div><div class=""> - CDN Architectures and Network Cache Allocation Schemes</div><div class=""> - Advanced multimedia and real-time communications</div><div class=""> - Performance, Optimization and Resource Dimensioning</div><div class=""> - Security, Trust and Privacy</div><div class=""> - Use of Blockchains in Networking and Servicing</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Business and Legal Aspects</div><div class=""> - Economic aspects</div><div class=""> - Multi-stakeholder aspects</div><div class=""> - Service level agreements</div><div class=""> - Lifecycle aspects</div><div class=""> - Process and workflow aspects</div><div class=""> - Legal perspective</div><div class=""> - Regulatory perspective</div><div class=""> - Privacy aspects</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Methods</div><div class=""> - Mathematical optimization</div><div class=""> - Control theory</div><div class=""> - Probability theory, stochastic processes, and queuing theory</div><div class=""> - Machine learning</div><div class=""> - Evolutionary algorithms</div><div class=""> - Economic theory and game theory</div><div class=""> - Mathematical logic and automated reasoning</div><div class=""> - Data mining and (big) data analysis</div><div class=""> - Monitoring and measurements</div><div class=""> - Computer simulation experiments</div><div class=""> - Prototype implementation and testbed experimentation</div><div class=""> - Field trials</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">--------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">KEYNOTES</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Keynote 1: "Networks of the future are driverless"</div><div class="">Speaker: Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterlo (Canada)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Keybote 2: "How future networks will become proactive? - Machine learning to solve a pertinent engineering challenge."</div><div class="">Speaker: Muhammad Ali Imran, University of Glasgow (UK)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">--------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">SUBMISSION GUIDELINES</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
