Conference and Topics: 

We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to Cloud Computing, Networking, and IoT (CN4IoT). Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:   

• Deployment and autonomic management of densely interconnected and decentralised cloud infrastructures, including the extension of the fog computing paradigm to the edge of the network. 
  
• Autonomic Management of Cloud networking in the context of software-defined data centres. 
  
• Re-allocation of resources and services (independently of their location) across distributed computing and geographically separated data storage infrastructures 
  
• Distributed cloud wireless networking 
  
• Software Defined Infrastructure Architectures, Application Programming Interfaces Protocols & Programming languages 
  
• Efficient Network and Cloud Function Virtualization (NFV)
