The 2022 IEEE NFV-SDN conference has committed itself to be one accelerator of the continuous exchange on the latest ideas, developments and results between all ecosystem partners in the academia and industry areas. The conference is highly encouraged to foster discussion on new approaches as well as dedicated work on missing aspects for improvements of NFV and SDN enabling architectures, algorithms, frameworks and operation of virtualized network functions, including container-based functions, and infrastructures. In addition to the latest NFV and SDN concepts and mechanisms, the 2022 IEEE NFV-SDN conference will focus on performance results as well as enhancements related to the use of machine learning in NFV and SDN networks, and improvements to data plane programmability.
