Call for Presentation Abstract Proposals
Conference Program Available Soon!
Isocore's 2015 International Conference, the 18th Annual event on new networking technologies will be held November 15-18, 2015, in Washington, DC. This year, the overarching themes of the conference will be on Softwarization (Integration of SDN and NFV), Programmatic Control, Security and Operational Experience of the Network and Services in Cloud, Data Centers and DevOps environments. The conference Program Committee is soliciting presentation proposals seeking original and unpublished work to continue the tradition initiated by this conference in 1998 of covering cutting-edge topics. Presentations addressing new technologies and operational experience are solicited from network equipment vendors, service providers, the research community, government agencies, and enterprise users.
Please submit your abstracts to cfp2015[at] isocore.com
