Future Networks and Communications (FNC) research effort will help 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 is 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, considering users and societal
needs for success.<br>

FNC 2022 will be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Known globally for its
picturesque waterfalls on the Niagara River situated on the border of New York
and Ontario. Niagara Falls is a very popular tourist destination that offers
not only breathtaking scenery, but also a range of attractions and activities,
many of which are in close proximity to the conference venue. Enjoy a unique
culinary experience in restaurants with a view of the falls, visit the Niagara
Parks Botanical Gardens, take a journey behind the falls, or experience a
cruise tour to get closer than ever to the iconic Horseshoe Falls. Just 130km
from Ontario’s capital city of Toronto, experiencing the charm of Niagara Falls
makes it a destination you’ll want to visit again and again. <br>
