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


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.

http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/mobispc-21/).


FNC 2021 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.
