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

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

 

*** Paper submission deadline: July 19, 2021 ***

 

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, scalability,  standardization, business
and 

legal aspects, just to name a few.

 

NoF 2021 Demo Sessions aims at offering  a venue for the latest
breakthroughs in 

the topics of interest of NoF 2021  to be presented live and  discussed with
the 

audience.  Demos ranging from working prototypes, novel applications and
ground-

breaking ideas to live experiments in the areas shaping future networks are
wel-

come. We also encourage demos from industrial researchers.

 

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.

 

The  conference  will  be  designed  and prepared  as a  hybrid  event
allowing

registrants the choice to participate either virtually or in-person. In the
case

of perduring traveling restrictions (official or de facto) during the
conference

dates due  to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will  be ready to convert the
conference

to a fully on-line event.

*** Submission guidelines ***

 

Prospective authors are invited  to submit Demo proposals in the form of a
3-page 

paper in  IEEE conference  double-column format, preferably  incorporating a
demo 

system architecture illustration. The proposal should also include:

  * a motivation of the demo;

  * a clear statement of what will be demonstrated,  key networking concepts
that

    are involved and the specific contribution with respect to related work;

  * what  NoF 2021 attendees  will experience  during the demonstration,
possibly 

    with visual outcomes to highlight the interest of the demo;

  * relevant references,  in particular if  the demo is related  to a paper
being 

    sub-mitted in the main conference;

  * the demo setup and technical requirements.

 

Authors are also encouraged to optionally include  in the paper submission a
link 

that opens a quite short (1-3 min) video illustrating the demo and its
scope. 

 

Demo papers must be submitted  electronically through EDAS in  PDF format
only at  

https://edas.info/N28072

 

For specific details  about submission format and procedure, please check:

https://nof2021.dnac.org/call-for-papers/

 

Demo papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted proposals will be  included
in the 

conference proceedings  provided to NoF 2021  attendees and will  be
subsequently 

submitted to IEEE Xplore.

At least one author of each accepted demo proposal is required to register
to NoF 

2021 conference and present the demo at the scheduled demo session.

 

 

*** Important dates ***

 

- Paper submission deadline: July 19, 2021
