                                 Call for Papers
                                    NoF 2021

           The 12th International Conference on Network of the Future
                     October 6-8, 2021 – Coimbra, Portugal

                            http://nof2021.dnac.org

********************************************************************************
NoF 2021 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.

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.
