The International Science and Technology Conference «Modern Network Technologies - 2018»

The 2nd International Science and Technology Conference «Modern Network Technologies, MoNeTec - 2018» gathers representatives of the international scientific community, research departments of corporations, start-ups, representatives of industry and business, development institutions, and public authorities to discuss promising and relevant technologies in the field of computer networks, virtualization of network resources, and cloud computing. SDN (Software-Defined Networking) and NFV (Network Function Virtualization) are key technologies used to build modern computer networks and information infrastructures in general. Now, these technologies are used in practice in the World, including Russia. Nevertheless, many problems for research, development and practical application still remain. The Conference will also include the School for young scientists, senior students and postgraduates on the application of Russian solutions on the basis of SDN and NFV. Issues of modern com...

Theory of SDN&NFV technologies. 5. Software-Defined infrastructure security. 6. SDN architecture for telecoms and enterprise networks. 7. Architectures for SDN control plane. 8. Optimized data transmission (transport protocols, route management, load balancing). 9. Control plane programming (libraries and applications) and customization of control plane, programmable control plane. 10. Novel offload and acceleration techniques to support SDN operations (e.g. using smart NICs, switch dev, FPGA and kernel or network stack bypass). 11. Performance and reliability issues, Service Level Agreement and QoS guarantees in the network layer. Service virtualization in SDN networks 1. Network function virtualization infrastructures. 2. Virtual services management in SDN networks. 3. Management and orchestration of virtualized services in SDN. 4. SDN&NFV in control of traffic processing stream: dynamic service chaining, orchestration policies, machine learning algorithms for service adaptation and state monitoring, reliability and automatic recovery issues etc. 5. Architectures, methods and tools for dynamic deployment of network services. Application of modern network technologies 1. SDN&NFV use-cases (SD-Wan, IoT, Smart cities, home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, backbone, and content distribution networks etc.). 2. Modern network technologies in real-time systems. Issues of cloud computations 1. Cloud computation architecture. 2. SDN solutions for Cloud computations (SDN in DC, inter-DC SDN). 3. Management and orchestration of cloud computations. 4. Cloud computations security. 5. Performance, scalability and reliability in cloud computing. 6. Cloud computing in the heterogeneous environment based on micro data centers. Application of cloud computing 1. Cloud computing: application and best practices. 2. Cloud computations as-a-service. 3.
