International Conference on Future Networks and Communications (FNC) is
designed for practitioners, researchers, scientists and administrators, in
the development arenas. FNC will become the new "system blood" as it aims to
provide discussions and simulations in the communication technology at the
broad level and broadcasting technology and related technologies at the
micro level. Through a set of research papers, using innovative and
interactive approach, participants can expect to share a set of research
that will prepare them to apply new technologies to their work in teaching,
research and educational development amid this rapidly evolving landscape.

There will be opportunities to attend interactive, high quality, peer
reviewed sessions, which will provide detailed insights from forward
thinkers working in the themes of the conference. The conference will
include a number of specialized workshops as well. Additionally there will
be an exhibition for both international businesses and markets to display
their latest products and services and to undertake a range of networking
opportunities.

Scope of FNC: FNC research effort will help achieving a major promise of the
emerging technologies such as, ubiquitous access to broadband, supporting
vital applications in our daily lives such as health, energy consumption,
environment transport, entertainment or education. The scope of FNC is the
development of energy-efficient future network infrastructures that support
the convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous mobile, wired and
wireless broadband network technologies as enablers of the future Internet.
This includes but not limited to ubiquitous fast broadband access and
ultra-high speed end-to-end optical connectivity, supporting open services
and innovative ambient applications. Scope also embraces novel and
evolutionary approaches to tackle network architectures, taking due
consideration of users and societal needs for success.
