Call for Papers
NoF 2022
The 13th International Conference on Network of the Future
October 5-7, 2022 – Ghent, Belgium
On-site event
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nof2022.dnac.org">http://nof2022.dnac.org</a>
********************************************************************************
*** Paper submission deadline: May 15, 2022 ***
The 13th 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 2022 will be held at "Het Pand" in the historical Center of Ghent, Belgium.
As the Covid-19 pandemics appears to be under control, the conference will be
designed and prepared as an on-site event allowing registrants to participate
in-person again. In the case the situation is worsening again, we will be ready
to convert the conference as an hybrid or a fully on-line event.
