(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) Soft Computing Methods for the Design, Deployment, and Reliability of Networks and Network Applications (SOFTNET 2015)
in conjunction with IFIP NTMS 2015 27-29 July 2015, Paris, France http://www.ntms-conf.org Technically supported by IEEE, IEEE COMSOC & IFIP TPC6 All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore IMPORTANT DATES =============== April 30: Paper Submission Due Date May 30: Notification to Authors June 15: Camera Ready Paper Due Date The widespread of the internet has given further opportunities for providing new services and web-based applications. However, such applications are often accompanied by a high complexity, and the number of standards, to which an application must follow, is rapidly increasing. Representing related problems as optimization problems will often not find an exact analytical solution anymore, and the need for advanced heuristic techniques becomes prevalent. Heuristic techniques provide a wealth of methods to handle tasks in complex application domains. Among such techniques we can find evolutionary computation, tabu search, simulated annealing, as well as many probabilistic, hybrid and ensemble approaches. This workshop will focus on soft computing methods to tangent the needs of modern internet-based applications and their underlying networking layer. It is supposed to bring together researchers from different communities with the similar need, and to provide a base for scientific exchange of research ideas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Network design - Handling networking problems by graph theory - QoS/QoE solutions - Modeling of network-based services - Scaling of network - Human-machine interface - Digital convergence - User modeling - Network bottleneck identification - Efficient content delivery schemes - Service authentication and authorization schemes - Service scheduling - Network security - Service and content retrieval and ranking - Debugging of internet-based applications PAPER SUBMISSION Papers are to be submitted electronically on the EDAS web site of the conference in PDF format. Submissions should be original and limited to 5 double-column pages, and should follow IEEE paper templates. Paper with more pages can be accepted however they need to be reduced to 5 pages for publication. 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.
