Communications (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.</span></p>
