IEEE CloudNet'14 CALL FOR PAPERS
(Click here to download CFP in PDF format)
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. Although the "computing" aspects of Cloud technologies have been largely investigated, lower attention has been devoted to the "networking" aspects. The 2014 3rd IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet'14), part of the IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative, precisely addresses these aspects.
Conference topics include (but are not limited to):
- Data Center Network Management, Reliability, Optimization
- Distributed Data Center Architectures and Services, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
- Energy-Efficient Datacenters and Networks
- Big Data Management
- Internet Routing of Cloud data
- Virtual Ethernet Switching, Data Center Bridging
- Cloud Traffic Characterization and Measurements
- Intra-Cloud vs Inter-Cloud Management
- Cloud Traffic Engineering and Control-Plane Architectures
- Green Data Centers and Cloud Networking
- Security, Privacy, and Confidentiality in Cloud Networking
- Virtualization of Network Equipment
- Unified User and Machine Mobility Management
- Data Flow Management and Load Balancing
- Mobile Cloud Networking
- Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
- Storage Area Networks, Optical Interconnect, Fiber Channels
- Content and Service Distribution

IEEE Policy Announcement
To be published in the IEEE CloudNet'14 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions.
Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE CloudNet'14 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.
