                          Call for papers

                        Special Issue of the

          International Journal on Network Management (IJNM) on

           Security for Emerging Open Networking Technologies

Submission deadline: March 31st, 2017 (extended)

Publication: September 2017

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

Emerging   open   networking   technologies   and   paradigms, such as

Software-Defined   Networking (SDN), Network  Function  Virtualization

(NFV),  and  programmable networks, are reshaping the way networks are

designed,  deployed, and managed. The benefits are manifold, including

an unprecedented flexibility for network operation and management, and

a favorable environment for delivering innovative network applications

and  services.  However,  this  paradigm  shift  brings a multitude of

security  challenges  that  have  to  be addressed in order to provide

secure,  trustworthy,  and  privacy-preserving  data communication and

network services.  Addressing  these  challenges  may require not only

revisiting existing solutions (e.g., for intrusion detection,  privacy

preserving, and resilience against attacks),  but also designing novel

security  and  resilience  schemes  tailored  to  the  specific design

of open networking technologies and infrastructures.
