4th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Network Softwarization
https://kn.inf.uni-tuebingen.de/kuvs-fg-netsoft/2025
3./4.4.2025 online
Network softwarization includes software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), and programmable data planes, e.g., using P4 as programming language. They are considered core ingredients of future communication networks. While still being under research, these networking paradigms have already entered production stage for specific use cases. Major drivers are cost-effectiveness, flexibility, security, and smart control driven by external data and AI.
This workshop will discuss advances in the area of network softwarization as well as opportunities and challenges for various use cases in the field of datacenter, ISP, 5G/6G, industrial, and campus networks. Practical experience reports from prototypes, testbeds, and deployments are welcome. The topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:
This workshop would like to discuss advances in this area as well as opportunities and challenges for various use cases in the field of datacenter, ISP, 5G/6G, industrial and campus networks, as well as network and traffic monitoring. Practical experience reports from prototypes, testbeds, and deployments are welcome including novel tools. The topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:
Network softwarization Architectures and protocols Data plane programming, e.g., using P4, eBPF, Snabb, DPDK, … Data and control plane resilience Mathematical modelling and optimization Performance and scalability Prototypes Integration with legacy networks (hybrid SDN) AI/ML based control Security considerations Security solutions Service control Network virtualization Service function chaining Network slicing, e.g., of 5G/6G core network functions Platforms, protocols, and languages Tool chains and development support Intent-based networking Testbeds and emulation platforms Use cases and business models Deployments in datacenter, ISP, industrial, and campus networks Disaggregation Time-sensitive networking (TSN) Architecture and protocols Prototypes Mathematical modelling and optimization Performance and scalability Monitoring Network monitoring Traffic monitoring Network and traffic modelling Performance and scalability ML/AI based support Security solutions Tools and standards Open source software Teaching activities Standardization reports Projects and events
Two forms of contributions are possible:
Title, abstract and reference of previously published work to present and discuss it in the KuVS community. Title and extended abstract or short paper for a visionary talk, for a project or teaching report, or for presentation of original work.
Submissions may be up to 3 pages long and should be formatted according to the IEEE conference layout. Accepted manuscripts will be published with a DOI in the workshop proceedings by the Tübinger Online-Bibliotheks-Informations- und Angebotssystem (TOBIAS-lib) of the University of Tübingen. The copyright will remain with the authors. All contributions should be submitted as PDF documents via the submission tool. Presentations will be made available on this workshop website (subject to permission by the authors).
