Introduction

Federation of resources enables network operators, cloud providers and IoT infrastructure owners to collaborate and share their resources to create a large virtual pool of resources at multiple locations, across different owners and tenants.

To support this scenarios, it is necessary to perform research on techniques to federate networks, Clouds and IoT resources, enabling the instantiation, provisioning and migration of logical resources across geographically dispersed testbeds and sites, and to derive the integrated management layers that enable an efficient and secure deployment of federated networks, Clouds and IoT applications.

Both review articles and original research papers related to federating networks, Clouds and/or IoT resources are solicited. There is particular interest for papers with practical experiences, working solutions and experimental results with respect to building bridges across infrastructure silos, and enabling multi-owner administration and multi-tenant usage scenarios.
