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

*** Paper submission deadline extended: May 31, 2022 *(Firm Deadline)****

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.
