9th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking

Cloud Networking has emerged as a promising direction for

cost-efficient and reliable service delivery across data

communication networks. The dynamic location of service

facilities and the virtualization of hardware and software

elements are stressing the communication network and

protocols, especially when data centers are interconnected

through the Internet. Emerging technologies like Network

Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network

(SDN) can play significant roles by improving the dynamicity

and programmability of cloud networks. Middlebox has been

significantly improved the agility of cloud network

deployment and management. The 9th IEEE International

Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet 2020), part of

the IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative, can greatly promote

research in cloud networks and emerging research areas.
