research Labs in Japan for network systems.
Since its inception, the conference has enjoyed well attendance with diverse and involved participants. Thanks tosupport of industry the event has been a real success. This year we are augmenting the existing central theme of theconference with 5G network which including backbone, platform and services. In addition, we have network topics
such as SDN, NFV and service chaining while still keeping the focus on reliable, manageable, flexible and costeffective carrier and/or service provider networks. Since From the past few years those networks are more focusedon data-center, mobile access network integration like 5G and include AI and data analytics topics.
Networking is now moving to not only data transport but also data processing underscoring the importance of thisintegration. With topics such as multi-layer, multi-technology operation, integrating AI, cloud computing, edge
computing, 5G networks with low latency, IoT and reliable access, iPOP now features advanced physical andsophisticated processing technologies.
The technical program committee has put together an exciting program consisting of technical sessions with emphasis
on presentations on SDN, Orchestration with data/network, PCE (Path Computation Element) with data analytic andits applications, and advance data-center network with Optical Devices. In addition, there will be technology
showcases and other demonstrations in the booths that always attracts attendees.
