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.

 

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 ***

*****************************

Authors  are  invited  to  submit  original  contributions  that  have  not
been

published or  submitted  for publication  elsewhere.  Papers should  be
prepared

using the  IEEE 2-column  conference style and  are limited to  8 pages
excluding

references (full papers)  or  4 pages  excluding references (short papers).
They

must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EDAS.

See https://edas.info/N28072

 

Papers exceeding  page limits,  multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized
papers

will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a
thorough

single-blind review process.
