It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 9th IEEE International 
Conference on Networks of the Future (NoF 2018), that will be held on 
November 19-21, 2018 in Poznań, Poland, one of the most dynamic cities 
in Europe.
Networks are currently witnessing a significant transformation that is 
resulting in new ways to address the deployment of applications and 
services in a digital society. Major trends like softwarization 
leveraged by Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function 
Virtualization (NFV) and Cloud & Edge Computing, and the introduction of 
new radio techniques are shaping the evolution in the Telecom and ICT 
industries, today emphasized by the current developments regarding 5G 
networks and services. As such, besides technological advances, 
networking requires further research from architecture to operations, 
that would alleviate complexity and allow smart and reliable automation 
of service delivery.

NoF 2018 is addressing the challenges and latest issues raised in the 
design of future networks in all their dimensions. The program includes:

3 Keynotes
-    A Speed-of-Light Internet Service Provider, by Bruce Maggs, Duke 
University and Akamai, USA
-    NFV/SDN orchestration: facing myths and reality, by Christian 
Destré, Orange Labs, France
-    Energy-Efficient Massive Networks of the Future, by Hanna Bogucka, 
Poznań University of Technology, Poland

2 Tutorials
-    Spectrally-spatially flexible optical networks: technology and 
optimization, by Krzysztof Walkowiak, Wroclaw University of Science and 
Technology, Poland
-    RAN Slicing and Control: Challenges, Technologies, and Tools, by 
Navid Nikaein, Eurecom, France

1 Distinguished Expert Panel addressing the hot topic of Slicing in 5G 
networks, moderated by Roberto Riggio, FBK – Create-Net, Italy

5 technical sessions, covering current interests for future networks

Being located in the Center of Europe, Poznań is certainly the right 
place to organize NoF 2018. The city has a long history from the early 
rise of Poland, and it has been at crossroads of many economical 
relationships for centuries. It has also undergone major transformation 
towards the digital world, hosting many ICT companies, especially 
because of its famous universities. The conference is taking place in 
Poznań University of Technology, located right in the center of the 
city, within walking distance from the train station and offering quick 
access to the medium-sized airport, just a few miles away.
We wish you a fruitful and enriching time at NoF 2018, and an enjoyable 
stay in Poznań, Poland.
