------------------------------------------------------------------------

Future Networks and Communications (FNC) research effort will help to
achieve a major promise of 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. The
scope also embraces novel and evolutionary approaches to tackle
network architectures, taking due consideration of users and societal
needs for success.

FNC 2020 will be held in conjunction with the 17th International
Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC
http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/mobispc-20/).

FNC 2020 will be held in the city of Leuven. Leuven is the capital of
the province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25
kilometers (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest
municipality in Belgium and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to
the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university
of the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in
existence. The related university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the
largest hospitals in Europe. The city is also known for being the
headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and
one of the five largest consumer-goods companies in the world.

Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls
worldwide and Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and
thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236
statues, which were only added to the façade after 1850. There are
220 men and 16 women in total. On the bottom floor are famous Leuven
scientists, artists and historical figures, dressed in Burgundian
garb. The first floor is reserved for the patron saints of the various
parishes of Leuven. The facade is adorned by the counts and dukes of
Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical figures.
