9th IEEE Conference on Network Functions Virtualization and Software-Defined Networking

Established in 1988, the annual SC conference has built a diverse community of participants including researchers, scientists, application developers, computing center staff and management, computing industry staff, agency program managers, journalists, and congressional staffers.

The 6th IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence & Extended and Virtual Reality (IEEE AIxVR) stands as a premier event in the technological domain, bridging the gap between diverse fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR). This conference serves as a global platform for researchers and industry professionals, fostering an environment of knowledge exchange and collaboration. It is dedicated to presenting the latest advancements, exploring emerging research areas, and collectively shaping the future of these dynamic and interrelated fields. Participants from various sectors are invited to contribute, including those specializing in VR, AR, and MR. The conference also extends a warm welcome to works rooted in AI, especially those that demonstrate a connection to VR, AR, or MR, or show potential for application in these areas. IEEE AIxVR is recognized for its role in defining contemporary research trajectories and setting the stage for future innovations in AI and extended reality technologies.

The 8th Edition will take place next 12 and 13 December 2023 as an in-person event in Paris at the Hotel Pullman Paris Centre. What do we see as the growth rate of SD-WAN, SASE & SSE in the near future? What role can the telco or hyperscaler edge play in the deployments? How is 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) impacting the market? Is there a need to interoperate across multiple SD-WAN dataplanes? What about control planes and federation? How does SASE and SSE architectures impact this need? What's the latest around SD-WAN/SASE services from a customer journey standpoint? Are we in a self-service world, with self-service troubleshooting? Analysts, SPs and industrial experts will respond these questions and highlight the current trends in the SD‑WAN, SASE & SSE areas. Main sessions will cover manageability aspects, 5G FWA and AI/ML impacts, customer experiences, multi-cloud components, open source and standard updates.
