CloudNet 2024: 13th edition of IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking

In 2024, the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet) will be held for the first time in the southern hemisphere, in the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio de Janeiro is harmonically shaped by mountains and sea, lying in the narrow alluvial plain between Guanabara Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Its fantastic landscape comprises a series of green mountains cascading down to the coast, where visitors have the privilege to stare at iconic natural beauties, the Sugar Loaf (Pão de Açúcar) and Christ the Redeemer (Corcovado), from the emblematic beaches of Copacabana, Leblon, and Ipanema. Rio de Janeiro is also famous for its cultural miscegenation, remarkable architecture, exciting history, all-year-long hot weather, and hospitable people. The 13th edition of IEEE CloudNet will be held from 27 to 29 November 2024. IEEE CloudNet 2024 will bring together the world’s most distinguished researchers and industry experts in cloud networking and will provide a great opportunity for you to present your research and industrial activities as well as exchange ideas with a highly motivated audience. Cloud networking has emerged as a promising direction for cost‐efficient, reliable service and data delivery across wide-area backbones and data-center fabrics. The prominent penetration of virtualization technologies into computing and communication infrastructure has led to continuous innovation, with new network protocols, software platforms, and artificial intelligence-based techniques for their orchestration.
