*** Paper submission deadline: May 10, 2024 ***

 

Internet has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by
high-

performance computing, programmable network equipment, and the emergence of
new 

generation services. The 15th International Conference on Network of the
Future 

(NoF) invites  authors to  submit original contributions i n 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, programmability,
sus-

tainability, scalability, security 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 2024 will be held in  the beautiful town of  Castelldefels in Spain, a
cozy 

and  relaxing beach town famous for its large 5 km coastline, and  located
only 

a few kilometers South of Barcelona.
