The objective of this issue will be to produce novel and fundamental advances in terms of technological innovation in the fields of SDN/NFV, Cloud Computing and Big Data. It will also serve to foster communication among researchers and practitioners working in a wide variety of scientific areas with a common interest in improving SDN/NFV, Cloud Computing and Big Data Analysis related techniques. It will act as medium for IT industry, scientists and research scholar across the globe to showcase their research and recent advances in this field. This issue will set off a wave of reform in many areas, and will gradually create more value for humans.
We will solicit high quality original research papers in all aspects of SDN/NFV, Cloud Computing and Big Data related to improvements in networks, cloud computing and big data platforms and services as well as applications utilising such platforms.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Communication, Control and Devices (ICICCD-2017), the International Conference on Computing Communication and Automation (ICCCA-2017), the 3rd International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communication and Automation (ICACCA-2017) and the 3rd International Conference On Internet of Things: Smart Innovation and Usages (IoT-SIU 2018), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conferences to submit articles for this call.
