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

- NoF 2021 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE, IEEE ComSoc.
- All accepted & presented demo papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore.

*** Paper submission deadline: July 19, 2021 ***
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, scalability, standardization, 
business and
legal aspects, just to name a few.

NoF 2021 Demo Sessions aims at offering  a venue for the latest 
breakthroughs in
the topics of interest of NoF 2021  to be presented live and discussed 
with the
audience.  Demos ranging from working prototypes, novel applications and 
ground-
breaking ideas to live experiments in the areas shaping future networks 
are wel-
come. We also encourage demos from industrial researchers.

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 ***
Prospective authors are invited  to submit Demo proposals in the form of 
a 3-page
paper in  IEEE conference  double-column format, preferably 
incorporating a demo
system architecture illustration. The proposal should also include:
   * a motivation of the demo;
   * a clear statement of what will be demonstrated,  key networking 
concepts that
     are involved and the specific contribution with respect to related 
work;
   * what  NoF 2021 attendees  will experience  during the 
demonstration, possibly
     with visual outcomes to highlight the interest of the demo;
   * relevant references,  in particular if  the demo is related to a 
paper being
     sub-mitted in the main conference;
   * the demo setup and technical requirements.
Authors are also encouraged to optionally include  in the paper 
submission a link
that opens a quite short (1-3 min) video illustrating the demo and its 
scope.
Demo papers must be submitted  electronically through EDAS in  PDF 
format only at
https://edas.info/N28072
For specific details  about submission format and procedure, please check:
https://nof2021.dnac.org/call-for-papers/
Demo papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted proposals will be 
included in the
conference proceedings  provided to NoF 2021  attendees and will be 
subsequently
submitted to IEEE Xplore.
At least one author of each accepted demo proposal is required to 
register to NoF
2021 conference and present the demo at the scheduled demo session.
