CALL FOR PAPERS
MOBISLICE - Mobility Support in Slice-based network control for heterogeneous environments
In conjunction with the 4th IEEE NFV-SDN Conference, 27th-29th November 2018, Verona, Italy

Website: http://mobislice.com

Scope:
Network slicing has been standing as one of the key enabling technologies for the upcoming 5th Generation of Telecommunications. Alongside other important technologies, such as NFV, SDN and MEC, its contributions to isolated network provisioning in a more dynamic and flexible way are being pursued in different industry and academia arenas throughout the world. Nonetheless, considering the wide range of foreseen enhanced use cases (not only in scope of 5G but also Beyond-5G), slicing aspects have been mostly targeting either enhancements at the radio level, or the integration of cloud resourcing capabilities for supporting network operation at the core and/or the edge. As such, there is a wide gap related with the impact that such slicing- based procedures will exert over mobility management processes for seamless mobility support while the devices, network or services move both physically (i.e., change their network point of attachment) as well as virtually (i.e., between slices). It is evident that a vast majority of access to on-line services is done while on the move, and considers not only human-to-machine communications (such as ultra-HD video conferencing and other services) but also machine-to-machine communications (such as vehicles and drones/UAV’s for Internet of Things scenarios). The objective of the MOBISLICE workshop is to foster the ideas of slice-based designs and technologies in mobile scenarios and assess their impact, proposing solutions and enhancements to their efficient, dynamic and elastic support.


Topics:

The MOBISLICE workshop focuses, but is not limited to, the following topics targeting slicing:

Use cases and architectures for MOBISLICES:
* Slices in constrained environments (IoT,Edge, etc.)
* Automotive service and ITS scenarios
* Telco Operator and enterprise-based environments
* Smart-X slice mobility
Management and orchestration for MOBISLICES:
* Common operations and API
* Inter- and intra-slice mobility
* Lifecycle management
* Heterogeneous access convergence
* High availability and reliability techniques
Standardization trends and activities for MOBISLICES:
* Status and progresses in 3GPP/ETSI/IETF/5GAA and other SDOs
* Proposals and standardization direction for advanced slicing
* SDN/NFV initiatives
* Slice-enhanced Networking and telecommunication protocols
Beyond-5G slicing:
* Disruptive architectures
* Zero-touch slice performance

Submission:

Papers will be submitted in PDF format via the EDAS platform at the following link: http://edas.info/N25033
MOBISLICE will accept papers according to the IEEE NFV-SDN conference “Workshop Papers" rules depicted in http://nfvsdn2018.ieee-nfvsdn.org/authors/
Workshop papers may be up to five (5) pages in length (10pt font); max. one additional page with over length page charge of USD100 if accepted.
To be published in the Workshop Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore, at least one author of an accepted paper is required to register and present the paper at the workshop. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Explore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications Society will take action against any author who engages in either practice.

Important Dates:

Workshop paper submission deadline: August 28th, 2018
Acceptance notification: September 20th, 2018
Camera-ready papers: October 7th, 2018
