*****************

The Industrial Internet of Things has many facets and most of the time all applications require tailored performance engineering, security as well as computing schemes to work as expected and to provide an appropriate level of benefit for different types of networks, applications and services. Especially if considering industrial applications, the growing demand for performance, security and reliability as part of that becomes obvious.

The innovations concerning communication networking especially 5G allow Industrial IoT to significantly increase the responsiveness and flexibility of any kind of components. But the research discussion on Industrial IoT lacks for suitable systems, architectures, protocols and algorithms, which are classified to work levels above Industrial IoT frameworks, as well as overlaying concepts and novel business models. Architectures, protocols, standards, performance engineering approaches as well as many other things have not been designed for usage according to the requirements of Industrial IoT communication networking. Traditional, and novel consumer-driven approaches do not fit the requirements of Industrial IoT because these do not account for the special requirements introduced by advanced manufacturing applications towards communication architectures, security, performance, protocols and algorithms. Context-awareness is required for any kind of Industrial IoT networking and for different types of industrial applications and services. E.g., the occurring network traffic in Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks cannot be compared to traffic of molding machines or within chaining. Each of them having demands which must be covered.

Due to the relevance for industries and research addressing those shareholders, we expect a huge number of submissions and being attractive to industrial experts to gain the knowledge of current research in bringing together NFV/SDN with 5G technology as an integrated approach to improve industrial use cases in the future.

*****************

Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera ready format (double column, 10 pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS (https://edas.info/N26385) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11 inch paper).The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Up to one additional page is permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 7 pages in total). Submitted papers should not be previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another conference or journal. Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed and/or added to the papers once papers are submitted to IEEE NFV-SDN 5GIIoTCom 2019 for review and in the final manuscript. The Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and email address(es) and phone number(s).

During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, the authors are required to make sure the pdf file and EDAS registration page of a paper have the same list of authors and the paper title. Be certain to add all authors in EDAS during the initial paper submission process. Failure to comply with this rule may cause a paper be withdrawn from the conference/workshop proceedings.

Submitted papers will be reviewed by the IEEE NFV-SDN 5GIIoTCom 2019 TPC members and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the conference venue by the author who registered/paid full author reg. fee (or refer to the registration transfer information in the Author Reg. Form). The authors acknowledge that accepted papers need to be presented in person at the conference by one of the authors of the paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Papers that are not presented by one of authors (for any reason, including visa issues, travel problems, etc.) will be removed from IEEE Xplore. (IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference). Accepted/paid papers but not presented by authors will be published in the conference proceedings only.

Terms and Conditions:

1. Authors should declare that the submission is original and has not been submitted to other venue or under consideration by other venues.

2. Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed and/or added to the papers once papers are submitted to IEEE NFV-SDN 5GIIoTCom 2019 for review and in the final manuscript.

3. If the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register at full rate and present it in person at the conference. Accepted and paid paper(s) but not presented by author(s) (for any reason, including visa issues, travel problems, etc.) will be published in the conference proceedings only.

You accept the terms and conditions above by submitting your paper(s) to IEEE NFV-SDN 5GIIotCom 2019.
