NoF 2021 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE, IEEE ComSoc.

All accepted & presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore. 

 

The  12th  International Conference on  Network of the Future (NoF) is
inviting

authors to submit original contributions  in the area of Future Internet
design,

with emphasis on enabling and cutting-edge technologies from the
perspectives of

specification,  design and  analysis related to  network of future
architecture,

applications, services, management, implementation, scalability,
standardization,

business and legal  aspects, just to name a few.

 

The  conference  aims  at  providing  a  forum  for  researchers,  students,
and

professionals  to  exchange ideas,  share  their experiences,  and discuss
their

research results  around a single-track  of technical sessions  and a series
of

keynote speeches.

 

NoF 2021 will take place at the University of Coimbra in Portugal.

 

Should any issue exist with the covid-19 outbreak,  we will provide all
means for

remote presentations  for authors who are unable to travel. If NoF 2021
cannot be

held on site in Coimbra, a fully virtual web-based event will be set in due
time,

as for all current conferences.
