Call for Papers: IEEE CloudNet International Conference on Cloud 
Networking (November 27-29, 2024 - Rio de Janeiro)
One month to the deadline!

** Our apologies for possible multiple copies of this CFP **

The 13th edition of IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking 
  (IEEE CloudNet) will be held from 27 to 29 November 2024. For the 
first time in the southern hemisphere, in the wonderful city of Rio de 
Janeiro, Brazil. 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.

Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been 
published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions must be in 
IEEE single-spaced double-column style with a length limitation of 8 
pages (including title, abstract, all figures and tables) for full 
papers (oral presentation), and 4 pages for short papers (poster and 
technical demonstration papers), both excluding references (maximum 1 
additional page for references). Accepted papers will be published in 
IEEE Xplore.
