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

The  11th  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 2020 will take place at the LaBRI Lab, Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en

Informatique  (Bordeaux Computer Research  Laboratory).  LaBRI is located in the

campus of the University of Bordeaux.
