Call for Demos
NoF 2021
The 12th International Conference on Network of the Future
October 6-8, 2021 – Coimbra, Portugal
Hybrid event
http://nof2021.dnac.org
********************************************************************************
- 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.
