IEEE HPSR 2020 Call For Papers

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services are key technologies to enable autonomous networks. These networks are designed to operate with minimal or no human intervention and be able to self-configure, self-monitor, and maintain itself independent during their operation.

Network technology breakthroughs have been driving users’ expectations on better services, which in turn increase management complexity for network providers. Under the ever-increasing complexity on network operation and management, fully-automated or autonomous networks may be the answer. From this perspective, networks must become smarter, more agile, and more responsive. However, to achieve this, autonomous networks must rely on dynamic connections, big data, machine learning, embedded sensors, and significant computing and storing capabilities that provide a level of awareness and control.

The main focus of HPSR 2020 – the 21st edition of HPSR conference – will be to assess how breakthrough changes occurring to networks and telecom are affecting areas related to switching and routing, and communication networks in general. We are soliciting original and thought-provoking works on big-data, data-analytics, cloud services, and machine-learning techniques applied to networking and switching and routing. Works on autonomous networks, 5G, IoT, Industry 4.0, social networks, network, cybersecurity, virtualization, and other advanced topics are also welcome.
