This series focuses on softwarization, management, and their integration in=
 communication networks and=20
their services. =E2=80=9CNetwork softwarization=E2=80=9D advocates for arch=
itectures that separate the software implementing=20
network functions, protocols and services from the hardware running them. P=
ropelled by the maturity of=20
technologies like network function virtualization and software-defined netw=
orking, softwarization is radically
changing the way communication infrastructures are designed and operated en=
abling rapid and innovative=20
service creation. =E2=80=9CNetwork management=E2=80=9C is about administeri=
ng networks and supporting their operations.=20
It aims to integrate fault, configuration, accounting, performance and secu=
rity management in the network;=20
to leverage the self-management, automation and autonomic capabilities of n=
etworks, and to move from a=20
=E2=80=9Cmanaged object=E2=80=9D paradigm to a =E2=80=9Cmanagement by objec=
tive=E2=80=9D one.

The key role that software and management are increasingly playing in telec=
ommunications is enabling=20
unprecedented levels of abstraction, disaggregation, operation, integration=
, and programmability in=20
network infrastructures and services. This Series publishes in-depth, cutti=
ng-edge, articles on state-
of-the-art technologies and solutions bringing together the latest advances=
, innovations, open-source
projects, case studies, research, and development in Network Softwarization=
 and Management.
=20

Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts must be submitted through the magazine=E2=80=99s submissions we=
bsite, Manuscript Central=20
(<mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee>). You will need to register and the=
n proceed to the author=20
center. On the manuscript details page, please select the Network Softwariz=
ation and Management Series=20
from the drop-down menu. Manuscripts should be  scientific-oriented and sho=
uld not be under review for=20
any other conference or journal. They should be written in a style comprehe=
nsible and accessible to readers=20
outside the specialty of the article.  Mathematical equations should not be=
 used. For detailed submission=20
guidelines please refer to the magazine website for the list of Paper Submi=
ssion Guidelines=20
(<comsoc.org/publications/magazines/ieee-communications-magazine/author-gui=
delines/manuscript-submission>)=20
that must be followed by all submissions to the IEEE Communications Magazin=
e.

Papers can be submitted anytime during the year. They will receive a review=
 process, and, if accepted,=20
they will be published in the first slot available for this Series.
