*** Tutorial proposal submission deadline: August 26, 2022 ***

The 13th  International Conference  on Network  of the  Future (NoF)  
provides a
forum for researchers, students and professionals to exchange ideas, 
share their
experiences,  and discuss  their research results in the area of Future 
Internet
design, with an emphasis on enabling and cutting-edge technologies.

Tutorials  are an  integral part of the program of NoF 2022. They should 
provide
participants an  overview and  introduction to new network technologies 
from the
perspectives   of  specification,   design,  implementation, 
application,  and
management of  future networks.  Tutorials should focus on hands-on 
experiences.
Experts are  invited to submit  quarter-day (1.5 hours)  or half-day 
(3.5 hours)
tutorial proposals.

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 to a hybrid or a fully on-line event.

*** Submission guidelines ***
*****************************
A  NoF 2022  tutorial  proposal should be submitted in a single PDF file (4
pages max.), and must include the following:
     * Tutorial title
     * Tutorial duration: either 1.5 hours or 3.5 hours (with a break)
     * Abstract  briefly  describing  the concept and content of the 
tutorial (no
       more than 300 words)
     * Names,  affiliations  and  short  biographies of the speakers 
highlighting
       their  experience  on  the  proposed  topic  (no  more  than 300 
words per
       speaker).
     * Intended  audience  and  a brief description of the background 
required by
       the tutorial attendees.
     * Tutorial content:  a  detailed  description  of  the tutorial 
content. It
       should  highlight the relevance and timeliness of the addressed 
topic, the
       goal of the tutorial and an outline of its content.
     * Hand-out material: a description of the non-interactive material 
that will
       be  provided  to  the  tutorial’s  attendees (e.g., slides, code 
snippets,
       tools, virtual machines).
     * Hands-on material:  a  description  of the interactions that will 
be asked
       attendees  to  perform,  as  well  as readme file with all 
necessary steps
       required by attendees to follow along. Please remember that tutorials
       should be heavily focused on hands-on experiences.

Tutorial proposals without interactive material are also acceptable but 
they are
discouraged.
