Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization

The Internet is the critical element in future global ICT strategy. However, the way the current Internet is managed and the way it provides services cannot match the fast changing and more demanding requirements imposed by user-end applications. Network virtualisation, coupled with an effective and efficient approach to manage virtualised resources, is increasingly regarded as a promising key candidate solution to the problem. However, the diversity of the network structures, protocols and standards in networks, which is further complicated by the high-speed, content-rich, burst-type natures of the future network traffic, poses big challenges on system design and protocol engineering of virtualized networks.

This Special Issue expects to address network virtualization issues related to end-to-end transmission of information, starting from user devices (including mobile devices), going through access networks (including both wireless networks such as WiFi/WiMAX/3G/LET/etc and wired networks such as PONs), and then traversing through fixed core networks (IP/MPLS/WDM), arriving at the other side of access before eventually reaching the other side of the user device. Paper can address any individual network (and even device) along this chain or a combination of them (i.e., converged networks). It is at the author’s disposal as to which particular network technology to choose (or even an abstract one) for virtualization. Both node virtualization (such as soft access point), link virtualization or a combination of both can be addressed.

The goal of this SI is to highlight and systematically address the challenges arising from network virtualization. The collection of the articles in this SI will create a forum for researches, developers and practitioners from both academia and industry to publish the key results and to disseminate the state-of-the-art concepts and techniques in all aspects of network virtualization. This SI will also serve as a stimulus to educate about, promote and accelerate technological evolution toward network virtualization. Specifically, the special issue will present tutorials, survey and original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) that cover the following subjects (but are not limited to):

- Network virtualization issues across various network technologies including optical/MPLS core networks, IP core networks, fixed broadband access network technologies
- Individual network virtualization techniques for nodes and/or links
- Virtual network system modelling and performance analysis
- Mapping algorithms from virtual resources to physical resources and the corresponding signalling protocols
- Resource allocation, scheduling, mobility management and Quality-of-Service assurance in virtualized network
- Billing issues in virtualized networks
- Energy efficiency/green issues
- Virtual network management and adaptation
- Testing and evaluation tools
- Prototype systems and real-world deployment experiences
