Special Issue on SDN/NFV-Based Pervasive Communications Infrastructure for Massive Mobile Devicesc http://www.hindawi.com/journals/misy/si/473148/cfp/ With the rapid advancement of wireless network technologies and the rapid increase in the number of mobile devices, mobile users have an increasingly high demand to access the Internet under pervasive communications infrastructure with guaranteed quality of experience (QoE). However, the current Internet architecture lacks ability and flexibility to provide adaptive services at network domain for highly dynamic environment with massive mobile devices. Software defined networking (SDN)/network functions virtualization (NFV) are emerging and promising net- work paradigms that can bring network domain unprecedented ability to dynami- cally allocate and deploy network functions on-demand and increase flexibility while reducing the operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX), by leveraging standard network devices, advanced management, orchestration, and virtualization technologies. Therefore, it is crucial to devise efficient pervasive communications infrastructure based on SDN/NFV paradigms to provide quality- of-service (QoS) guarantees among massive mobile devices. This special issue is devoted to the most recent developments and research outcomes addressing the related theoretical and practical aspects on SDN/NFV- based pervasive communications infrastructure with an emphasis on dynamic mobile environment and aims to provide worldwide researchers and practitioners with an ideal platform to innovate new solutions targeting at the corresponding key challenges. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Theory, applications, and challenges for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure - Models and algorithms for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure with massive mobile devices - Data processing and resource scheduling for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure - Swift service chain reconfiguration for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure - Computing, storage, and networking architectures for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications with massive mobile devices - Network behavioural modelling for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure - Content dissemination in SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure with massive mobile devices - QoS and QoE in SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure Traffic characteristics in SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure under dynamic mobile environment - Testbed developments to support SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure - Active and passive measurement for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure - Use cases and discussion of industry experience in implementing SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications infrastructure - Security, protection, integrity, trust, and privacy issues for SDN/NFV-based pervasive communications Authors can submit their manuscripts via the Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/misy/pcim/.
