********************************************************************************
NoF2021 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.
 
NoF2021 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.
