*** Paper submission deadline: May 15, 2022 ***

The  13th  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.

NoF 2022 will be held at "Het Pand" in the historical Center of Ghent, Belgium.

As the Covid-19 pandemics  appears to be under control, the  conference  will be
designed and  prepared as an  on-site event allowing registrants  to participate
in-person again.  In the case the situation is worsening again, we will be ready
to convert the conference as an hybrid or a fully on-line event.
