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

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.



Should any issue exist with the co-vid-19 outbreak, we will provide all means for

remote presentations  for authors who are unable to travel. If NoF 2020 cannot be

held on site in Bordeaux, a fully virtual web-based event will be set in due time,

as for all current conferences.
