                 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking
                              IEEE CloudNet 2019

                     November 4-6, 2019 in Coimbra, Portugal

==============================================================================

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 data centers are interconnected through the Internet.
Emerging technologies  like Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software
Defined Network  (SDN) can play significant roles  by improving the dynamicity 
and  programmability of  cloud  networks.  Middlebox  has  been  significantly 
improved the agility of cloud network deployment and management.
The 8th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet 2019), 
part  of  the  IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative, can greatly promote researches 
in cloud network and emerging research areas.
