Digital transformation enhances both economic development and the quality of life for citizens. This evolution is based on the deployment of a network, computing and service infrastructure that is highly sophisticated in terms of its size, the diversity of its components and the range of specialized uses it allows. Such an infrastructure is made of a large set of heterogeneous hardware/software components resulting in a system of systems whose availability, reliability, performance, interoperability and energy efficiency are becoming major challenges. Disruptive intelligent technologies are key enablers for this evolution, driving automation, enabling early detection of faults and cyberattacks, and optimizing resource usage to meet stringent service performance and resource requirements.
A special focus will be set on the conference theme “Disruptive Intelligent Technologies for Next-Generation Clouds and Networks”.
Interested authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical research, business studies in impact, or mechanisms and new technologies, as well as broader position and visionary papers. Contributions that discuss lessons learnt and best practices, describe practical deployment and implementation experiences as well as demonstrating innovative use-cases are also encouraged.
